Gellis Family Cigars launches Essentials, a petit corona sold in 50-count cabinets

Gellis Family Cigars, the personal brand of Warped Cigars founder Kyle Gellis, is preparing to ship a new compact format: Essentials, a 4½-inch petit corona with a 32 ring gauge. The cigar reaches retailers in 50-count slide-lid cabinets at around $6.99 per stick, or roughly $349.50 for the full cabinet.

The blend pairs an Ecuadoran-grown Connecticut wrapper with an Ecuadoran binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. Production takes place at Tabacalera La Isla in the Dominican Republic. Although the pale wrapper suggests a mild smoke, the maker cautions that the cigar was designed to deliver more strength than its size implies.

For those who want to carry their cigars around, Gellis separately offers a green leather travel case for six sticks at about $100. The first cabinets are expected to reach US shops in the coming weeks.

Germany Suspends Distribution of Cuban Cigars After EU Sanctions Against a Habanos Shareholder

Behike bhk 52

5th Avenue Products Trading, the official Habanos distributor for Germany, Austria and Poland, announced on September 8 that it is halting shipments of Cuban cigars to retailers in the region. The decision follows the European Union’s July 2026 sanctions against Chen Zhi, founder of Prince Holding Group, for serious human rights violations. The same businessman had been indicted in the United States in October 2025 on charges of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy.

The link to the cigar world: since 2020, Prince Group has held, through intermediary companies, half of Habanos S.A., the firm that markets brands such as Cohiba, Montecristo and Partagás worldwide. Germany is Habanos’ fifth-largest market, and the distribution pause comes at a time when Cuban cigars are already hard to find and more expensive than ever. The topic is certain to dominate conversations at InterTabac, the trade fair opening this week in Dortmund.

For enthusiasts in Moldova, Mister Tabaco continues to offer a selection of Cuban and other cigars in the Cigars category.

Aganorsa Leaf Readies Two New Cigars for International Markets: JFR Clara and Supreme Leaf Worldwide

Aganorsa Leaf Supreme Leaf

Nicaraguan producer Aganorsa Leaf will present two cigars at the InterTabac fair in Dortmund that are designed first and foremost for markets outside the United States. Both are rolled at the company’s own factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, and will reach international distributors in November 2026.

JFR Clara is a milder take on the JFR line: an Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. It launches in three sizes — Corona (5½ x 44), Robusto (5 x 50) and Toro (6 x 50) — packed in boxes of 21.

Supreme Leaf Worldwide uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over all-Nicaraguan tobaccos and comes in two vitolas, Cañonazo (5⅞ x 52) and Robusto Clásico (4⅞ x 50), in boxes of 10. In the US, where it will only arrive in March 2027, the expected price is around $15 per cigar; vice president Terence Reilly noted that pricing will differ from country to country.

The current Supreme Leaf line is already part of the Mister Tabaco selection: Aganorsa Leaf Supreme Leaf. Browse the rest of the range in our Cigars category.

Perdomo 30th Anniversary moves to 20-count boxes and wider availability

Perdomo Cigars has announced a change that concerns availability more than the blend itself: the Perdomo 30th Anniversary line is moving to 20-count boxes and becoming available through a wider retail network.

The change applies to all three versions of the series — Connecticut, Sun Grown and Maduro — which cover the classic spread of preferences: from a mild, creamy profile to a sweeter and fuller one, through to the darkest and most intense of the three.

Moving to 20-count boxes is an increasingly common industry practice: the format lowers the shelf price of a full box and lets shops stock several blends at once instead of tying up their budget in large boxes of a single version. For the consumer, the direct effect is a better chance of finding the line locally.

Perdomo is not currently listed in our catalogue, but you can explore the cigars available at Mister Tabaco.

Indian Motorcycle 125th Anniversary: a toro limited to 500 boxes

Indian Motorcycle Cigars is releasing a limited edition dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the legendary American motorcycle manufacturer. The cigar debuts at a single shop — Rhino’s Cigar Lounge by Owl Shop in Windham, New Hampshire — with nationwide distribution following in October.

The blend is built around a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper, an American leaf increasingly prized for its dark sweetness. The binder is Dominican San Vicente, and the filler combines Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos, with the maker declining to detail the proportions.

A single vitola is produced, a 6 x 52 toro, at a suggested retail price of 20 dollars per cigar. The run is capped at 500 boxes of 20 cigars each — 10,000 cigars in total, a small volume even by anniversary-edition standards.

The brand is not in our catalogue, but you can always browse the cigar selection at Mister Tabaco.

Hoyo de Monterrey debuts Le Hoyo inside a four-cigar sampler

From September, General Cigar is shipping a sampler called Hoyo New Legends, built around a cigar that has not been sold on its own until now: Le Hoyo. The pack holds four Toro-sized cigars in a pre-humidified pouch, at a suggested retail price of $27.59.

Three of them come from the recently revamped Hoyo de Monterrey core lines — Rojo, Oscuro and Shade — while the fourth is the new Le Hoyo. It carries a Honduran OSA wrapper over a US Broadleaf binder, with a filler combining Dominican Piloto, Nicaraguan Estelí and two Honduran tobaccos: La Entrada Corojo 2012 and Jamastran Broadleaf.

The maker says Le Hoyo will eventually arrive in three frontmarks — Rothschild 4 1/2 x 50, Toro 6 x 52 and Gigante 6 x 60 — but for now it can only be tried as a Toro, inside this sampler.

Worth noting: this is the brand’s Honduran line, distinct from the Cuban Hoyo de Monterrey cigars. Those you will find in the cigar category at Mister Tabaco.

Alec Bradley Filthy Ghooligan returns for Halloween in 1,950 boxes

Forged Cigar Company has confirmed the return of its seasonal Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Ghooligan, now in its third consecutive year. Shipments to retailers begin in September, comfortably ahead of Halloween, the occasion the cigar was built around.

The visual signature remains the barber-pole wrapper, made from alternating strips of leaf. Unlike the classic Filthy Hooligan, which leans on candela, this blend pairs Ecuadorian Habano with US Broadleaf. Underneath sits an Indonesian Besuki binder, while the filler brings together Dominican Piloto and Nicaraguan tobaccos from Jalapa, Estelí and Condega. The company says only that the cigar is made in Honduras, without naming the factory.

The 2026 edition comes in a single size, a 6 x 50 Toro, at a suggested retail price of $14.49 per cigar — unchanged from last year. The run totals 1,950 boxes of 24.

Plasencia launches “Born of This Land” to mark 160 years of growing tobacco

Plasencia Cigars announced “Born of This Land” on 4 September, a brand campaign marking 160 years since the family began growing tobacco in 1865.

The campaign arrives together with a new logo and redesigned packaging, but the emphasis falls on the people behind production. Field supervisors, agricultural engineers, crew leaders, fermentation specialists, quality control staff and master rollers will be featured by name and role. The materials will run across print, digital, retail and experiential channels.

The central message is an expanded idea of terroir: not just soil and climate, but the relationship between those, the people, and generations of accumulated knowledge. Néstor Andrés Plasencia said the initiative “honors the people, the knowledge, and the land” that make the company’s work possible.

Quesada Cigars has begun shipping the 2026 edition of its Oktoberfest series, first released in 2011 — the 15th consecutive year the seasonal cigar has returned to the market.

The blend stays the same: a Mexican San Andres wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican fillers. The range covers five vitolas — Uber (6 x 65), Das Boot (6 x 52), Bavarian (5 1/2 x 52), Kaiser Ludwig (6 x 49, box-pressed) and Salomon Press (6 3/4 x 50/33) — packed in boxes of ten. Suggested prices start at 13.25 dollars each for the Bavarian and reach 15 dollars for the Uber, with production capped at 500 boxes per size for the US market.

This year’s release also closes out the current look of the line: from 2027, Oktoberfest moves to the company’s new brand identity.

United Cigars releases two new vitolas in its Independence line

Starting 1 September, United Cigars released two new vitolas in its Independence line: a robusto (4⅞ x 50) and a toro (5⅞ x 50). The blend, created by German manufacturer Arnold André at its Dominican Republic factory, uses a Mexican Habano wrapper, with binder and filler from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

The blend debuted earlier this year as a limited edition called Independence Firecracker, part of the company’s long-running Firecracker series. Strong consumer response convinced United Cigars to turn Independence into a permanent production line, with the two standard vitolas shipping in 12-count metal tins that can later be reused as ashtrays.

„Why mess with success?” said Oliver Nivaud, director of operations at United Cigars, in a press release. United Cigars is also the American distributor for Arnold André.
