After blending the Oktoberfest to be paired with beer, Quesada is at it again, this time releasing a new blend in a somewhat unconventional packing in commemoration of St. Patrick’s Day. The Quesada Keg Edition is a 6 x 50 toro that incorporates Nicaraguan tobacco for the binder and filler, and is covered in a broadleaf wrapper from Pennsylvania. Rolled at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Esteli, Nicaragua, the new release retails for $7.95 each and is limited to 250 kegs of 21. According to Quesada, the cigar is blended specifically to be paired with an Irish stout, similar to how its Oktoberfest line is made to be paired with the Märzen style German beer that is enjoyed during Oktoberfest. “Being half Irish I have always wanted to work on a project for St. Patrick’s day,” said Terence Reilly, gm of Quesada Cigars, said in a press release. “Success with our Oktoberfest brand pairing cigars with beer got me excited to do something for St. Patricks.” Cigar Reviewed: Quesada Keg Edition Country of Origin: Nicaragua Factory: Plasencia Cigars S.A.
