In 2018, HVC released a limited edition cigar that was a bit of a nightmare for retailers when it came to put them on the shelves.

Until the company released bundle refills, re-stocking a specific size forced you to open another box or leave a void on their shelf. In 2021, The HVC Broadleaf returns utilizing the same blend, albeit […]

The C.L.E. Signature THT-EKE 03/17 comes in 4 sizes including the 11/18 which is an exclusive for retailers who are part of the Tobacconist Association of America. The 6 x 48/54/48 vitola is synonymous with Christian Eiroa dating back to the days when he was at the helm of Camacho cigars. The C.L.E.
