The Pérez-Carrillo family, one of the most respected names in premium cigars, has announced the launch of Ascend, produced under the Casa Carrillo label. It is the fifth regular-production line in the company’s portfolio and has already begun shipping to retailers in the United States.
This summer has also brought other notable cigar releases: AVO unveiled the Expresivo Toro, its first blend produced entirely in Honduras, Aging Room expanded its Blue series with the Amber Maestro edition, and Tatuaje brought back the Black Label Torpedo, this time box-pressed and without its usual protective tube.
Traditional tobacco fermentation techniques were also in the spotlight at the 2026 Procigar Festival in the Dominican Republic, where regional master blenders showcased their newest leaf combinations.
Premium cigar enthusiasts in Moldova can explore a wide selection of international brands in Mister Tabaco’s dedicated cigar category.
