Dissident Cigars has announced three small-batch lines – Rant, Rave, and Tirade. These are three new blends that are being incorporated into the portfolio.

If the names sound familiar, they were originally vitola names in the Dissident Soapbox when the brand was first introduced in 2013. When Benjamin Holt acquired the brand, he overhauled the Soapbox line and used more traditional names. Now the Rant, Rave, and Tirade line have all new life.

Rant features a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper over an Ecuadorian binder and a combination of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. It is available in one size – a 4 1/2 x 46 Petite Corona. It is presented in 20-count boxes with each cigar priced at $10.00.

Rave is an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapped blend that uses an Ecuadorian binder and a combination of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Pennsylvania Broadleaf fillers. It’s available in one size – a 5 1/2 x 50 box-pressed Robusto. It is presented in 20-count boxes with each cigar priced at $10.50.

Finally, Tirade is a San Andres wrapped blend using an Ecuadorian binder and a combination of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. It’s available in one size – a 5 1/2 x 46 Corona Gorda. It is presented in 20-count boxes with each cigar priced at $10.00.

“This has been a project that has taken quite some time to bring to fruition. Of course, COVID-19 has created some issues that many of us have had to overcome, but I am happy that these cigars can finally be released. They are all three very distinctly different. There is something for everybody in this line up,” stated Benjamin Holt in a press release.

Holt continues, “I am referring to these as ‘small batched’ cigars rather than ‘limited edition’ because they don’t meet my personal definition of ‘limited edition’. And I intend to release these more frequently than ‘limited edition’ cigars have traditionally been released.”

Dissident Cigars are produced at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua. The brand is distributed by Oveja Negra Brands.
