Two of the most popular cigars ever released from boutique brand Emilio Cigars—AF1 and AF2—are now being overhauled, set to hit the market later this month.
Following the limited makeover/re-releases of certain Emilio brands in 2018 (produced at Black Label Trading Company’s Oveja Negra factory), it was then announced earlier this year that the two companies would be merging. Today’s announcement signals the first Emilio releases after the merger, showcasing all-new artwork and cigar blends for both the AF1 and AF2 cigars.
