Cuban Imports, Inc. proudly announces the introduction of EXILE® – a rare and exquisite cigar brand that celebrates the time-honored traditions of pre-embargo Cuban cigar making. EXILE® will be available at fine tobacconists throughout the U.S. this month.
Diligently fashioned by celebrated master blender Sr. Omar Ortez at Esteli’s renowned Nicaragua-American Tobacco, S.A. factory, EXILE® is comprised of a deeply-aged, rich blend of Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos delivering an uncompromisingly rich and complex character with a spicy-sweet finish. Available in a rich, Ecuadorian sun-grown Sumatra Rosado or a smooth and flavorful U. S. Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, EXILE® is exquisitely hand-crafted in four distinct vitolas: ‘Robusto’ (5” x 50); ‘Perfection1’ (5 ½” x 49 perfecto); ‘Churchill’ (6 ¾” x 50); and ‘Perfection2’ (7” x 49 figurado).
Presented in a rustic 24-count box with a suggested retail price ranging from $5.50 to $8.50 per cigar, each EXILE® cigar is delicately cloaked in a paper reproduction of the astonishing February 4th, 1962 headline page of the New York Daily Mirror proclaiming President John F. Kennedy’s enactment of the Cuban embargo.
“This exceptional cigar is tribute to those who left Cuba to seek freedom and to honor the forgotten days when Cuban cigars were only of the highest integrity,” stated Michael Argenti, president of Cuban Imports, Ltd. “I believe the style, character and caliber of this cigar has been in exile for nearly a half century, and we’re delighted to resurrect and re-introduce it to the American market. For the experienced cigar connoisseur, it is an absolute treasure.”
Cuban Imports is a privately-held corporation headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida. The company serves as the exclusive importer and distributor of world-class, super-premium cigar brands including EXILE®, H. Upmann® Signature and Por Larrañaga® Cuban Grade. For more information, please call toll-free (866) 731–CUBA or visit www.cubanimports.net. H. Upmann® and Por Larrañaga® are registered trademarks of Altadis USA. |
