News: Quesada Makes 80th Anniversary Exclusive for Canada’s House of Horvath


Quesada has a new cigar exclusive to the Canadian market. Manuel Quesada’s company has been tasked with making an 80th anniversary cigar for Canadian distributor House of Horvath.

Quesada’s relationship with the distribution goes back to 1980, when he and Joseph E. Horvath began their friendship.

In June, two different cigars will debut in Canada for the 80th anniversary celebration in three sizes.

Cubana Red Label Band

The Cubana Red Label is comprised of Connecticut-grown shade wrapper over a Mexican Sumatra binder and Dominican fillers. Red Label will get a Robusto, Toro (6 x 50) and Corona (6 x 43).

Cubana Black Label Limitada

The Cubana Black Label Limitada features a Honduran Criollo 98 wrapper over Dominican binder and Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. A bulkier Robusto (5 x 52) joins a Toro (6 x 50) and Petit Corona (4 3/4 x 43).

This is not a limited edition, rather just a limited distribution. Interestingly, House of Horvath owns the rights to both names in Canada.

Both lines are sold in boxes of 24 with vitolas ranging from $8.00-$12.00 Canadian. Unlike the Selección España, Quesada will not be distributing Cubana in any capacity in the U.S.

This is one of two exclusive distribution lines Quesada had slated for June, the other being Torcido, a cigar being made for Just for Him Shop of Springfield, MO.

To the Guest that responded, thank you very kindly for responding.  Halfwheel, is it your normal practice to NOT respond to a request for information as I did several months ago?  I am a huge fan of your site - but I won't deny I've been somewhat cranked that you never did respond.

We do reply and comment, albeit less than some other sites. As for this case, none of us live in Canada. I imagine it's the case that we (collectively) didn't know the answer, which is why you didn't get a response.
