One of the oldest cigars in Villiger’s portfolio will be offered to U.S. stores beginning next month.

On Friday, Sept. 1, Villiger Cigars North America will begin shipping the Habana Feu, a 4 x 44 machine-made cigar that uses an Ecuadorian wrapper over tobacco from Indonesia and Latin America. The cigar is made by Villiger in Switzerland and has been available in the Swiss market for over a century.

In the U.S., the cigars will have an MSRP of $12 per pack of five—$2.40 per cigar—and will be sold to retailers in cartons containing five packs, i.e. 25 cigars.

“Habana Fue offers a mild and harmonious taste, with a touch of sweetness and soft aroma,” said the company in a press release.
