Distributor Zander-Greg will add two line extensions to its Nat Cicco HHB and Nat Cicco Aniversario 1965 lines. First up, the company will introduce a Habano wrapper offering to its Nat Cicco HHB line. In addition, two new shapes will be added to the Aniversario 1965 line – a Robusto Grande (5 3/4 x 56) and a Torpedo (6 1/4 x 52) bringing the total frontmarks to five.
The Nat Cicco HHB line is positioned as the company’s super premium line. It has previously been offered in three sizes with an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper. The HHB Habano will be offered in the same three sizes as the Connecticut Shade line. The price range of the Habano is in the $10.00 range
The Nat Cicco Aniversario 1965 pays homage to the year 1965 – when the original Nat Cicco “Rejects” were created. The brand has said they were the first to start introducing the concept of selling “factory seconds” (thus the name “Rejects”). The new sizes will have the same blend as the original three Nat Cicco Aniversario 1965.
Zander-Greg acquired the Nat Cicco brand back in 2007. The company introduced its Aniversario 1965 and HHB brands back in 2012 as more premium offerings.
