Ventura Cigar Company has announced the next chapter of its Archetype Saga. The new series will be known as the Archetype Fantasy Miniseries and consist of three cigars: Crystal, Curses, and Cloaks. The cigars will be produced at Tabacalera Oliva in Nicaragua.

The Archetype Fantasy Miniseries continues Archetype’s theme of telling the narrative of a heo’s journey through a common storytelling arc.

“We’re telling a story at Ventura Cigars,” says Michael Giannini, General Manager at Ventura Cigar Company in a press release. “And although Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell would agree that there are similarities within any tale, it’s the particulars that set every story apart. The Archetype Miniseries reveals more details of the hero’s journey. Really of every smoker’s journey. We’re all heroes on our adventure through life, and we’ll all uncover different nuances, flavors, and essences from these cigars. And that uniqueness is the beauty of this release.”

Crystals features a sun grown Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan Habano binder and filler. It will be available in one size – a 5 x 50 Robusto featuring a closed foot and pig-tail cap.

Curses features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over Nicaraguan Habano binder and filler. It will also be availabininn a 5 x 50 Robusto featuring a closed foot and pig-tail cap.

Finally, Cloaks is described as having a Broadleaf wrapper over a Nicaraguan Habano binder and Nicaraguan filler. While it is also available in a 5 x 50 Robusto, this one is in a square press format.

All three releases are available in 20-count boxes with pricing of $9.00 SRP per cigar of $180.00 SRP per box. The price point of the Archetype Fantasy Miniseries offerings brings a more affordable option to the Archetype Series. Tabacalera Oliva becomes the fourth factory to produce an Archetype Cigar joining La Gran Fabrica Drew State (Axis Mundi and Initiation), Davidoff (Dreamstate and Sage Advice) and Diadema Cigars de Honduras, S.A., (Strange Passage).
