Cornelius & Anthony will debut two ad-
ditional lines, Venganza and Meridian
at the 2016 IPCPR Show. The Venganza
delivers an unmatched experience. This
rich and flavorful powerhouse has a
silky Ecuadorian wrapper that is high-
lighted by its Nicaraguan filler tobac-
cos. Venganza starts with a blast of bold
flavor. This spice forward blend has a
lingering sweetness and a long smooth
finish that highlight its bold complexity.
It is the pinnacle of balanced perfection.
Venganza is rolled at the La Zona fac-
tory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Also produced
in four sizes and presented in boxes of
20, the venganza boxes feature an illus-
tration of the 1876 patent form for The
Bailey Machine Gun. Available in Gordo

boxes of 20, this beautiful Rosado has an
oily Ecuadorian wrapper that surrounds
Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobac-
cos. The blend has rich notes of spice
and wood with a lingering sweetness
that creates a creamy refined balance.

that comes in the following sizes: Gordo
(6x60), Toro (6x50), Robusto (5x52) and
Corona Gorda (5.5 x 46).
