Ashton announced that they will be adding a new 5 1/4 x 56 to the popular La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor line. The Duque will be the ninth vitola for the Mi Amor family and the first regular release extension since the line’s debut at IPCPR 2010. La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor, the No. 2 cigar in the world as ranked by Cigar Aficionado magazine, has added its first new size since the launch of the brand in 2010. The size is called Duque, a parejo measuring 5 1/4 inches by 56 ring gauge. It has a suggested retail price of $7.25 per cigar.

The Duque is among the fattest of Mi Amors. “It’s the thickest that’s box-pressed,” said Ashton vice president Sathya Levin. The Valentino, a cigar in the round, is the thickest in the line, at 58 ring. La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor is the first from Ashton Distributors to have a Mexican wrapper. The wrapper for this brand is dark and flavorful, grown from Mexican seeds in the San Andrés Valley, and has Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos.
