Aganorsa Leaf has announced a new addition to their Aniversario Series, the Aniversario Connecticut will debut this summer at the PCA Tradeshow in Las Vegas. The blend uses thes same Aganorsa Leaf tobaccos grown in Jalapa and Esteli as the corojo and maduro versions, but this will be wrapped in an Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf. The Aganorsa Leaf Aniversario Connecticut will comes in two sizes: a 5 x 54 box-pressed Gran Robusto and a 6 1⁄4 x 52 boxed pressed Toro. Both comes in 10-count boxes. The new cigar will be a regular production cigar, although exclusive to PCA attendees and Aganorsa Select Accounts for 2023.
Aganorsa Leaf is rebranding their core lines Corojo, Maduro, Habano, and Connecticut in the new La Validación Series. The blends for the cigars remain unchanged but they have been repackaged with more prominent Aganorsa Leaf branding, and the box counts and sizes have been standardized. All four lines will now be comes in 15-count and be offered in the same three vitolas: Gran Robusto 5 x 54, Toro 6.25 x 52, and Gran Toro 6 x 58. In keeping with the original versions, all sizes will be box pressed with the exception of the Habano, which will continue to be rolled as round parejos.
For the first time in five years, Aganorsa Leaf is adding a new size to the original JFR line: Mi Favorito. The new size measures 5 x 70 and, like the rest of the line, has a thick pigtail. Mi Favorito will be offered in both the Corojo and Maduro blends.
The Oktoberfest by Quesada Cigars is making a return for 2014. While the blend will remain the same, but as usual will feature a different vintage crop. The big change will be that the cigars will feature a new band. The company is also adding a Salomon Press vitola that will be made available at events only. The cigars are expected to be showcased at the 2014 IPCPR Trade Show.

Stateline comes in one size, a 6 x 50 toro.
The name Bayern is the German name for Bavaria, which is one of the sixteen states in Germany. Bayern is the state where the Oktoberfest celebrations first originated. For the Oktoberfest Bayern, Quesada Cigars reaches back into its past and uses the Cuban-style pyramid shaped vitola based on the classic Fonseca Triangular format. The 2017 Quesada Oktoberfest Dominican blend was then tweaked to work with this unique vitola - delivering a one-of-a-kind smoking experience.
