Cavalier Genève has started shipping two of its newest releases to U.S. retailers: the annual LE2026 limited edition and the company’s 10 Years Crafting anniversary cigar. Both shipments began reaching retailers at the end of last week as the brand marks its 10th year in business.
The anniversary release was created to commemorate Cavalier Genève’s first decade, during which the company expanded from working with outside factories to operating its own factory in Honduras while growing distribution to more than 60 countries. Unlike previous anniversary offerings, the 10 Years Crafting project features two wrapper variations packaged together in every box.
Each 6¼” × 52 parejo box contains seven claro-wrapped cigars and seven darker-wrapped cigars. According to Cavalier, both versions use the same blend, with the primary difference coming from the wrapper primings and processing. The company says the cigars were built around a filler blend of eight different tobaccos, including four ligero leaves, two visos, and two secos. Production is expected to continue through the end of 2026 before the release is discontinued.
The blend includes a Habano Jamastran wrapper offered in claro and oscuro versions, a Habano Jalapa binder, and fillers from Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, and India. The cigars are packaged in 14-count boxes with an MSRP of $344.40, or $24.60 per cigar.
Shipping alongside the anniversary release is the LE2026, Cavalier Genève’s annual limited edition. This year’s release comes in a single 6½” × 47 parejo vitola, with the company noting that the size was selected to deliver the intended expression of the blend. As with previous releases in the series, the blend remains undisclosed and will not be reproduced in future years.
Production of the LE2026 totals 1,948 boxes of 10 cigars, with just over 1,000 boxes allocated to the U.S. market and the remainder headed to international retailers. The cigars carry an MSRP of $167 per box, or $16.70 per cigar. Like the rest of the Cavalier lineup, the LE2026 is produced at the company’s Fabrica Centroamericana de Tabaco S.A. (FCT) in Danlí, Honduras.
