gets its name from the City of Chicago’s flag that features four stars across it.
“The Expo” is an homage to The World’s Columbian Exposition, which was held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the New World in 1492. The cigar itself comes in one vitola: a 6 x 52 Belicoso. The blend is a Nicaraguan puro with a Mexican Capa Negra wrapper. It will come packs of 10 that are wrapped in butcher paper-wrapped. Only 400 soft packs were made for this release and will be sold at Binny’s 42 locations in the Chicago area and through its online store. “The Expo” is rolled at Erik Espinosa’s LaZona Factory in Esteli, Nicaragua.
Erik Espinosa says, “I am incredibly happy to be able to work with Binny’s on this project. Our Key Accounts Manager Richie Otero and Binny’s own Jack Spethmann
really brought this project together, and I really excited to bring our brands back into both the Chicago area and Illinois.”
