Altadis and Christian Eiroa introduced the Saint Luis Rey Eiroa 30th Anniversary Maduro, a maduro version of the 30th Anniversary cigar. The cigar debuted at the Tobacconists' Association of America trade show last week.
Why it matters
The release adds a darker-wrapped option to the Saint Luis Rey Eiroa 30th Anniversary line, which marks three decades since the original Honduran Saint Luis Rey blend debuted in 1996. Its exclusive availability through brick-and-mortar retailers shapes where enthusiasts can buy it.
The Maduro cigar is offered in four sizes, with Rothchilde at 5 by 50, Torpedo at 6 by 52, Toro at 6 by 54, and Titan at 6 by 60, with suggested retail prices of $12.00 to $13.50 per cigar. Actual street pricing and sell-through rates have not yet been reported.
