At last year’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, Drew Estate showed off two new sizes for its Nica Rustica line: Belly, a large torpedo, and Short Robusto. There wasn’t a release date described back then and it wasn’t until May that we heard anything else about the cigars. Turns out, the Belly would change size—now a 7 1/2 x 54 instead of 7 1/2 x 50—and it would be released in late July at an event at Cox’s Smoker’s Outlet. At that time, there was still no update on the Short Robusto. That update came a few months later when it was announced the Short Robusto would ship alongside the Belly in August. Both cigars were on display at this year’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show. It was shown off with a new retail display tray that will hold all three vitolas.
