10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELLAR RESERVE

The special edition 15-year Cellar Reserve cigar will be created to commemorate the Cellar Reserve’s 10-year anniversary, the company’s first brick and mortar cigar and its most successful brand. The cigars will be rolled in a special vitola and come in a 50-count humidor box. The medium body, full-flavor smoke will come from an Ecuadorian Rosado wrapper, the Vintage Nicaraguan filler from Jalapa, Condega and Esteli and a Nicaraguan binder.

The limited edition humidor boxes will be individually numbered and available toward the end of August 2017. Only 1,000 (50 count) boxes will be made and they will retail for $700/box. Individual cigars will be sold for $14 per stick.
