The next VegaFina will use a 20-year-old Mexican wrapper.

It’s appropriately called the VegaFina Fortaleza 2 Capa 20, a 5 1/2 x 50 robusto extra that uses an American binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Peru.

Tabacalera S.L.U. says the new cigar will retail for €6.20 ($7.36) in Spain and €8.90 ($10.57) in Germany; pricing will vary for other markets. Production is limited to 4,500 boxes of 12 cigars, which will be offered in international markets, though not the U.S.

The VegaFina Fortaleza 2 Capa 20 is scheduled to debut later this month in Spain.
