Powstanie Cigars has announced the latest release in its War Bear seriesโ€”the 2025 War Bear of Mass Destruction. The cigar brings back the Wojtek-inspired theme while introducing new packaging and a revised size for the annual limited edition.

This yearโ€™s War Bear arrives in a 5 7/8″ x 60 perfecto format, packed in boxes of eight cigars. Production has been limited to 1,000 boxes, with an MSRP of $200 per box ($25 per cigar).

The blend maintains the barber pole-style wrapper seen in previous War Bear releases: Ecuadorian Habano and Mexican San Andrรฉs, with what the company describes as a slight adjustment to accommodate the larger format. The interior blend features an Indonesian binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

Packaging is a major part of the 2025 release. Each box comes inside a custom camo-painted metal sleeve featuring a cutout Powstanie logo. The sleeve is designed to be mounted to a wall, giving the cigar presentation a collectible, display-ready element that the company says ties into the War Bearโ€™s military theme.

Powstanie Cigars is beginning to ship PCA orders this week, prioritizing retailers who placed orders at this yearโ€™s trade show.
