Buenaventura Trail Mix Hits LCA Retailers on Friday
The newest release for the Limited Cigar Association of America will hit stores on Friday, March 5, as the company has announced the Buenaventura Trail Mix.
While the cigar wears the Bueneventura band, it is not the same blend as the regular production Buenaventura line as the Trail Mix blend was made exclusively for the LCA. Both are Nicaraguan puros, though Brian Desind of the Limited Cigar Association said it is “sort of close to it,” noting that in coming up with the Trail Mix there were higher primings and some different tobaccos used. The Trail Mix uses a habano wrapper, a detail not disclosed with the original blend.
Espinosa Thai Tea Slated for New Year’s Eve Release
Thai Tea, a new cigar made by Espinosa Premium Cigars and released via Privada Cigar Club and the Limited Cigar Association, will be getting its release on New Year’s Eve.
The cigar uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers, and is being offered in a 5 x 52 robusto vitola. Pricing is set at $10 per cigar, before taxes. The cigar was made at La Zona Cigar Factory in Estelí, although production numbers are not being disclosed.
According to a video posted by Privada Cigar Club, the cigar had originally been developed for another project, though the deal with the individual buying the cigars fell through and they became available. While such a release might normally be included in the monthly shipments to Privada Cigar Club members, Brian Desind said that due to limited supply the cigars will instead be distributed through retailers that are members of the Limited Cigar Association.
