Stefan Lampert debuted the BABA YAGA cigar and a refreshed design for Ocean Breeze at the Intertabac 2026 trade show. The new BABA YAGA cigar, which has already launched in the USA, is slated to arrive in European markets in November 2026.
Why it matters

The BABA YAGA cigar is crafted with tobacco aged 4 to 5 years and is produced in a 6x52 Toro size at the Tabacos de Costa Rica factory. While the blend for the Ocean Breeze line remains unchanged, the brand has implemented a new design aesthetic.
