Casa 1910 has announced its third line of cigars, the Soldadera Edition, will make its debut at Total Products Expo (TPE) 2023 which takes place February 22-24, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Casa 1910 says the cigars will arrive at select retailers after the Trade Show.
The Soldadera Edition was previewed back in November at Casa 1910’s Casa 1910 Experience Event in Mexico City. The line was inspired by women who fought in the Mexican Revolution. The line consists of three distinct blends, each in a different size and each paying homage to a different female fighter. The line is produced in the Dominican Republic at Hostos Quesada’s Tabacalera La Isla in the Dominican Republic. The Soldadera Edition is the first line Casa 1910 has produced in the Dominican Republic.
The three cigars in the Soldadera Edition include Sampetrina, Teniente Angela, and La Coronela.
“We’re thrilled to introduce the Soldadera Edition as our latest offering,” said commented Casa 1910 in a press release, “The cigars in this line are a celebration of the strength, courage, and determination of the women who played a vital role in shaping Mexico’s history.”
Sampetrina
Sampetrina is a 5 x 50 Robusto with a shade wrapper. It refers to Petra Herrera, who was another soldadera who disguised her sex. She joined the forces commanded by Pancho Villa, adopting the name Pedro Herrera. Herrera would achieve success in Villa’s ranks, but when she did not receive the appropriate recognition, she formed a female-only brigade of soldaderas. The blend features a Connecticut Shade wrapper over a Dominican binder and a combination of Mexican and Dominican fillers. The cigars are presented in ten-count boxes. Pricing for the Sampetrina is set at $16.00 USD. Casa 1910 recommends pairing this with aged rum.
