Valeroso to Launch Primavera at IPCPR Debut
Among the cigars debuting at this week’s IPCPR Convention and Trade Show is the Valeroso Primavera, a cigar being made at Manuel Quesada’s MATASA factory in the Dominican Republic.
The new line has already been made available to a handful of retailers, but the entire industry will get a look at the eight vitola line at this year’s trade show. The Valeroso Primavera is being offered in a Toro, Churchill, Lancero, Lonsdale, Corona, Robusto, Robusto Extra and Torpedo, with prices ranging from $8 – $10 per cigar. There are plans to add two more sizes at the end of the year to the regular production line.
The cigar uses an Ecuadoran wrapper with Dominican and Nicaraguan filler and is said to be medium to medium full bodied.
Valeroso is based in Los Angeles and was founded by Sean Hadley and Marie Cabrera, the great niece of Gilberto Leon, who was known in the Los Angeles area for his hand made cigars.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
