ZR Cigars will debut its first Nicaraguan puro blend this summer during the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show.
The appropriately named ZR Cigars Nicaragua will include four different vitolas at launch: a 6 x 52 belicoso, a 6 x 60 gran toro, a 5 x 52 robusto and a 6 x 52 toro. According to Zohar Riezman, founder of ZR Cigars, all four cigars in the regular production line will be packaged in 20-count boxes and individual MSRPs will range from $12 to $16 per cigar.
In an email, Riezman told halfwheel that all of the tobacco for the cigars is being shipped from Nicaragua to his company’s ZR Cigar Factory located in the Dominican city of La Romana where the cigars are being rolled. Boxes are scheduled to begin shipping to retailers “around Christmas,” according to Riezman.
ZR Cigars was founded in 2018 and is based in the Dominican Republic. The company features cigars blended by Cándido Rosario, who is one of Tabacalera USA’s Grupo de Maestros.
The 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show runs from July 8-11 in Las Vegas.
