Manufactured in the Micallef SA factory in Estel\u00ed, Nicaragua. The Reserva, Leyenda, Migdalia, Herencia Habano, Herencia Maduro, Connecticut, Experiencia La Crema and Reata are brought together in a white piano-finished box with two cigars of each blend in a 5 x 40 Londres format.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEighty years is something to celebrate! I have had a lot of adventures and a hell of a lot of laughs these past eight decades. Throughout all these great memories are my friends and family. This box is for them!\u201d said, Al Micallef.<\/p>\n<p>Friends are synonymous with cigars. At the heart of Micallef Cigars is community, exemplified by the Micallef Ambassadors. An online and in-person society of cigar lovers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe included two of each blend in the Collector Edition. You have one to enjoy and one to share with a friend,\u201d added Dan Thompson, President of Micallef Cigars. \u201cI can\u2019t think of a better way to celebrate my friend, Al Micallef\u2019s birthday, than a release symbolizing friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Micallef Cigars kicked off Al\u2019s birthday celebration earlier this month during their Open House at the Micallef Cigars headquarters in Texas with a birthday cake made to look like the Collector\u2019s Edition box. This year is Micallef\u2019s second open house, an annual event, commemorating the day Micallef Cigars cut ties with Cigar International due to their predatory pricing practices, which hurt brick-and- mortar retailers. Micallef\u2019s commitment to their brick-and-mortar retail partners is absolute and they have pledged to only sell their portfolio to online stores that also have a brick and mortar to ensure price protection.<\/p>\n<p>The Collector\u2019s Edition will begin shipping to brick-and-mortar retailers in this week and will retail for $128.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Micallef Cigars releases the Collector Edition in honor of founder, Al Micallef\u2019s 80th birthday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":60412,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[49,55,2812,44],"tags":[4524],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60411"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
