CIGARS INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES LAUNCH

OF NEW 5 VEGAS ‘RELIC’ BRAND!

 

Cigars International is proud to be the first cigar retailer to carry Relic, the latest limited-edition offering from 5 Vegas. Launched at the Cigars International Super-Store in Bethlehem PA on Saturday February 7, 2009, at an exclusive event headlined by top cigar maker Manuel Quesada, the highly anticipated release event was attended by 220 individuals from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware.

            5 Vegas Relic is a Dominican puro, meaning all of the tobacco in the cigar was grown in the Dominican Republic. This uniquely flavorful, “super-premium” blend is full in body, but very mature and round thanks to a portion of twelve year old tobacco.

"Manuel Quesada is one of the most respected cigar men in the world, and this blend is among the finest the staff here at CI has ever smoked - a fusion of Manuel’s decades of cigar making experience with some of the finest tobaccos in the world, including a special portion of genuine, twelve year old ligero," remarked Brandon Searfoss of Cigars International, adding "the addition of the twelve year old tobaccos – the "relic" – is what turns the otherwise complex, hearty and powerfully robust blend into a very round, mature and decadent smoke."

Manuel Quesada remarked, "5 Vegas is a brand I've always admired, so I was honored to be asked to produce the limited-edition Relic blend in a unique perfecto shape – in fact one of the most difficult vitolas to roll but one which indeed enhances the full-bodied, rich, creamy, sweetness of the blend."

The packaging for 5 Vegas relic is a unique, thick, cedar Tercio-style box crafted by hand, then tied with twine, weighing 10 lbs. by itself.
