Having scored high points in the last Havanascope, the Línea Maestra series of 3 cigars finally hit the Canadian shops. Unfortunately for Canadians, the cigars come with the high price tag, but without the beautiful blue boxes that the Linea Maestra line are normally housed in. Thankfully, the distinctive blue and gold bands are under the Canadian plain packaging bands.

Prices are up there. Maestro is CAD$136 (approx. €85), Rito CAD$150 (approx. €94) and the Origen at CAD$125 (approx. €78).

The same week, the Bolivar Regentes Limited Edition 2021 was also made available to the shops. The great looking, dark and oily cigars are priced at CAD$97 (approx. €60) and come in boxes of 25.

The silver lining is that all 4 of these cigars look and taste great, and passionate cigar lovers can treat themselves for a special occasion without having to purchase a whole box.
