According to the Chinese zodiac, 2021 marks the Year of the Ox, and there’s a Cuban cigar made especially to commemorate the Chinese New Year, the Hoyo de Monterrey Primaveras. This new cigar will fittingly get its global release in Hong Kong, in a virtual launch party engineered for today’s pandemic-ridden times. Next Wednesday, on January 13, the cigar will be unveiled via a virtual party hosted by Pacific Cigar Co. Ltd., the Habanos distributor for most of southeast Asia. The next day, the Primaveras will go on sale throughout the Asia Pacific region. Previewed at last year’s Habanos Festival, the Hoyo de Monterrey Primaveras cigars come in richly enameled 18-count boxes with words “Year of the Ox” printed prominently on the lid. The cigar measures 6 5/8 inches by 48 ring gauge, a size known as Hermosos No. 1 in Cuban cigar factories.
