In an effort to get more retailers to attend the annual IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, manufacturers have been offering cigars that can only be purchased at the show. Quesada Cigars is lending their hand to that cause this year, announcing today that the Casa Magna Jalapa Claro will be a show-only exclusive release. The cigar retains the same binder and filler as the original Casa Magna, but uses a caramel-colored claro leaf grown in Nicaragua’s Jalapa valley. The new line will come in three sizes, Toro (6 x 58), Box Pressed Toro (6 x 50) and Robusto (5 1/2 x 54), with prices between $6.65 and $7.65.
