Updated CroMagnon Timeline Shipping to Select Stores

The new CroMagnon is off to stores.

Today, RoMa Craft Tobac will begin shipping the 2024 version of the CroMagnon Timeline, the first time the company has released a cigar that uses the updated CroMagnon blend.

After having issues consistently securing Connecticut broadleaf wrappers that met its standards, RoMa Craft Tobac took CroMagnon off of its price list more than a year ago. In the meantime, it worked on developing a new blend, which uses a Pennsylvania broadleaf wrapper over a Sumatra hybrid binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. It’s not just a wrapper change, the original blend had a different binder and no Dominican tobaccos.

Timeline, a 6 1/4 x 50 toro vitola that features a 109-style cap, has an MSRP of $13.50 per cigar. This size was released as a limited edition in 2016 for the company’s fifth anniversary.

Around 20 stores are receiving the cigars now, ahead of its formal debut at the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show later this month. RoMa Craft Tobac will release the new CroMagnon in the same standard sizes it used for the original blend, but this size is the first one to go on sale.

To help differentiate between the original CroMagnon and the updated blend, the packaging is slightly different. The original version featured a dark gray text on dark gray brand, the new one has white text.
