“This is the fifth size in the line, which was originally created to celebrate ‘s 20th anniversary,” said vice president Sathya Levin. “Like the other sizes in the line, the 24 Year Salute features an ultra-rare, Dominican sun grown wrapper from Chateau de la Fuente. Due to the rare nature of this wrapper, the cigar will be made in extremely limited quantities.”

The line consists of only Dominican tobacco, and is made in Santiago, , by Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. Prices have yet to be established, but in lieu of the existing four sizes, expect the new to retail in the $20 to $25 range.

Though doesn’t anticipate the 24 Year Salute to be released until late this year, some lucky smokers sampled an early version of the cigar at the 20th Annual Smoker for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital charity event held at New York’s Grand Havana Room last week. It is still uncertain whether or not samples of the 24 Year Salute will make an appearance at the upcoming trade show
