Vicarias Releases Red Label Edicion Limitada
Vicarias Cigars has released a new limited edition spin on its Red Label blend, which the company says was necessitated by supply-chain issues born out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In particular, the company said that the Brazilian Cubra wrapper that the regular production Red Label blend uses has become temporarily unavailable. That led to a recommendation made by Luis Cuevas Sr. of Tabacalera Las Lavas S.R.L., who suggested using an Ecuadorian habano wrapper to create a limited edition blend. The rest of the blend remains the same, using a binder from Nicaragua’s Jalapa region and a filler that contains Dominican piloto cubano, Pennsylvania broadleaf, and ligero from the Jalapa region of Nicaragua. Like the original Vicarias Red Label, it is being offered in a 6 x 54 toro vitola. As for an MSRP, it is priced at $9.30 per cigar, and for now is coming packaged in 20-count bundles.
The company says that while it is a limited edition for now, it may become either a permanent addition to the portfolio or an annual limited release. The company is not disclosing the production number of this first batch.
It is ready to ship to retailers now.

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 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.
