A new release from United Cigars, the Bandolero Series C Colosales Ashtray Set, will make its first appearance at the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show in New Orleans, scheduled for April 12-14, 2025. The set, produced in collaboration with Nelson Alfonso of Selected Tobacco, pairs five Bandolero Colosales cigars (6 x 54) with a single-cigar ashtray designed by Alfonso, known for his work in blending and packaging.
The cigars are rolled in Costa Rica using an Ecuadorian wrapper, a Peruvian binder, and a mix of Dominican, Brazilian, and Peruvian filler tobaccos. After production, they are sent to Madrid, Spain, for a cedar-aging process lasting one to two years. Each cigar comes in an aluminum tube, and the set is packaged in a custom dress box. Production is limited, though exact quantities were not specified.
The ashtray set will be available for purchase immediately after the trade show, with a retail price of $128. United Cigars, based in Hudson, New Hampshire, has been in operation since 1901 and distributes a range of brands, including Selected Tobacco’s Atabey, Byron, and Bandolero lines, alongside offerings from Jose Dominguez and Arnold Andre.
