At this years' IPCPR Battleground Cigars had an interesting set up, their display was basically a small pup tent, but inside they had plenty to offer....let's get right to it:
Battleground has decided to play around with Honduran Puro Mardo wrappers , and have resurrected a few brands with new wrappers and new packaging artwork.
The original Undercrown Shady was released in collaboration with Shady Records for their 20th Anniversary in 2014 to 10 Detroit area retailers. The blend was a stronger version of the Undercrown like the Corona Viva and came in soft packs of 10 cigars. Now, the company is following that release with the Undercrown ShadyXX to celebrate Shady Records 20th Anniversary. It will be shown off at IPCPR.
Crux Cigars is shipping their Limitada Gunner this week. This is their second line extension of the Limitada series, with the Redline being the first that shipped this year. Gunner was originally shown off at the IPCPR show in 2018.
Camachos historically have been Honduran puros, but the brand has lately been branching out with new tobaccos. Later this month, the newest example—Camacho Ecuador—will hit the market, bringing a Havana-seed Ecuador wrapper around what's being described as a powerful blend.
2018 Marks the 50th Anniversary of Davidoff Cigars. Zino Davidoff opened up his flagship store in 1968 which over the last 50 years has grown into one of the largest cigar brands in the world. To celebrate this mile marker, Davidoff is re-releasing the Diademas Finas, which was first released in 2006 which would have been Zino Davidoff's 100th birthday. This limited edition comes in four vitolas, each with it's own porcelain jar. Each jar is numbered and has it's own humidification device. Each jar is it's own art designs, created by French artist Mariane Léger. These designs are also used in the new Davidoff 50th anniversary “Caves du Monde” humidors, exclusive lighters, Limited Edition ashtray, pipes and pipe tobacco.

Today, Drew Estate announced that they would be rebranding their Herrera Esteli lines as well as releasing two new line extensions. The two new versions are the Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro and Herrera Esteli Miami. The entire line will be shown off later this week at the IPCPR trade show.
Alec Bradley Cigar Co. has announced that they bringing back their proprietary triangular shaped Trilogy line of cigars in very limited quantities. Alan Rubin came up with the idea for Trilogy during a fishing trip with some other cigar manufacturers. The topic of cigar shapes came up and one of the others told Rubin that he just cannot come out with another round cigar. Rubin took the statement to heart and started brainstorming until he made his way to a South Florida Home Depot, where he created the triangular mold.
