Joining the popular 5.5 x 52 Dissident Rave Box-Pressed is a brand new expression – the 5 x 50 Rave NON Box-Pressed. Utilizing the same Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Ecuadorian binder, and filler tobaccos (Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Pennsylvania) as the OG format, this round Robusto is expected to be an inviting format for a wide range of cigar heads. Already shipping to retailers, the suggested retail price is $11.50 each.
“The original Rave (BP 5.5 x 52) has always been a fan favorite, but to the new cigar smoker, the Rave 5.5 x 52 showed itself as a little too intimidating on the shelf to be an entry level cigar.” shares Owner/blender Cynn Coburn, “in fact, Dissident’s entire line of cigars is more tailored to a seasoned smoker, so we felt it was important to introduce a cigar that welcomed the newcomers a bit more. After much debate, we felt the Rave deserved to make itself known as a smaller vitola as well, satiating the need for a cigar that everyone, including new cigar smokers, could enjoy.” Crafted by hand at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua, Dissident’s cigars are distributed domestically by Oveja Negra Brands.
The Oveja Negra family of brands are available from Privada Cigar Club and other select retailers.
