The Black Market Estelí is a bit more complex in style than the original. Prensado, first released in 2011, now has a new addition to its lineup, the Prensado Lost Art. It’s a completely different profile from the first release and contains three different tobaccos from Nicaragua.
As with a few other companies and a trend noticed at this year’s show, the company showcased a branded lighter that will go on the market later in the year. With fewer cigar releases, the new trend appears to be brands like Alec Bradley completing the cigar experience–from cigars to branded accessories like lighters. Also, though they require testing and paperwork before making it to the market as with any product, lighters are a smart move because they won’t be impacted by the FDA deeming regulations.
