Miami, Florida -
Puros Indios Cigars is proud to announce the new Cuba Aliados "Anniversary" cigar. The Anniversary, aged six years, is a limited production cigar offered in four all new, attractive sizes: Power (6 ½ x 56), Diadema No. 3 (5 x 58), Magico (6 x 48), and Short (4 x 48) The Diadema and Short are unique sizes which have always come to represent Cuban Master Blender Rolando Reyes Sr. and his 60 years of experience in the tobacco industry.
The first two formats are packaged ten cigars per box and the last two, twenty cigars per box. Suggested retail prices range from $8.00 for the Short, $11.00 for the Magico, $12.00 for the Diadema $13.00 for the Power. Total production of both varieties is estimated to fall between 200,000 and 300,000 cigars, depending on yield.
The Anniversary, which will be offered to select tobacconists, is a unique blend created by Reyes Sr. to honor and celebrate the over one hundred year tradition of the brand name. "Aliados", meaning allied, originated in Cuba in the Nineteenth Century. The new blend will also celebrate the 83rd birthday of Don Rolando.
"This unique blend is a culmination of my Grandfather's many years of hard work, inspiration and cigar blending experience," said Grandson and Vice President Carlos Diez. "'Anniversary' is a tribute to Rolando Reyes Sr. and adds to his prestige in the worldwide cigar community."
"Don Rolando is still going strong after all these years. This blend is a testament to his lifelong passion for tobacco," added Marketing Director, Frank Santos.
The exclusive Anniversary is a proprietary blend and is available in two wrappers: Nicaragua Corojo and Ecuador Sumatra. All tobacco in the Anniversary cigar blend is aged for at least six years.
Rolando Reyes Sr. has been called the world's most talented cigar maker. Well into his seventh decade of cigar making, he continues to use the magic of his gifted hands to create the world's most unique sizes and blends.
