Bodega Premium Blends has officially announced the launch of its first line of cigars, Reunion.  The Reunion will feature two blends, Aperitivo and Digestivo.  Both blends will be packaged together in boxes of 20. Reunion will arrive in the United States in December and be available shortly after that.  

At the 2013 IPCPR Trade Show, it was announced that Bodega Premium Blends would become the eighth company to be distributed by Gary Griffith’s House of Emilio Arm. The Reunion was announced at that time, but it was only now when specifics of the line were disclosed. In that announcement it was mentioned how the Reunion line that would have a theme of fellowship, gathering, connectedness, and friendship.

In a press release issued by the company, Chief Brand Officer Ron Plante said, “After a two year long journey of tasting, excluding, qualifying and re-qualifying Blends, we couldn’t be happier with the final product.”

CEO Gino Domanico added, “I can’t believe we’ve finally arrived. It’s the pinnacle of our journey. We believe in our concept, we believe in our product and it’s our way of giving back to our brotherhood.”
