Nica Oro Announces the Release of the Belleau Wood Brand

Nica Oro, LLC has released the Belleau Wood Brand and has opened pre-orders for the Cuban-sandwich style bundle project. The new Florida distributor has announced its inaugural project with a release of 12 SKUs, four sizes across three popular wrappers: Connecticut Shade, NEcuadorean Habano, and Ecuadorean Maduro.

Belleau Wood, the famed WWI battle in France, is brought to life by Nica Oro as a celebratory line of bundle-type cigars. The brand is produced in Condega, Nicaragua and is blended by Indiana Ortez.

The company states, “Our cigars namesake pays homage to the Devil Dogs we remember every day, by presenting an everyday cigar.” Blender of the Belleau Wood project, Indiana Ortez mentions, “this project is very exciting for me! Learning about the history and significance of the battle really allowed me to take what is normally a regular cigar for this market segment and focus on a memorable blend using choice tobaccos, something I don’t think is given its due with these types of everyday cigars.”

The cigars come in a dynamic box of the more premium type rather than a cellophane wrap. Each box offers a perforated break where each 20-count bundle can be instantly turned into a display box for single cigar purchase.

Belleau Wood is now available for pre-order and is expected to ship the first week of May 2023.

Belleau Wood’s format are 20-count boxes with the MSRP of single cigars for Shade, Habano, and Maduro being:

• Toro – 6” x 54: $4.10
• Robusto – 5” x 52: $3.95
• Presidente – 7.5” x 50: $4.15
• Gordo – 6” x 60: $4.25
