ALFA Brands set to unleash Sopranos cigars – 03/08/05

USA. Cigar manufacturer CAO International is to unveil a cigar box called The Sopranos Edition at the Retail Tobacco Dealers of America trade show in New Orleans this month.

CAO The Sopranos Edition, handled by ALFA Brands in travel retail, marks the first time that Home Box Office has officially licensed a cigar to commemorate the award-winning series.

“Both Home Box Office and CAO stand for high quality and innovative products in their respective fields,” said Richard Oren, Home Box Office Director of Licensing. “It just made sense for us to develop a cigar line around The Sopranos series with CAO; they have the expertise, quality, and creativity to make this a successful part of our licensing business.”

The limited-edition cigar is described as a bold, full-bodied blend featuring a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, Honduran binder, and an exotic mix of fillers from Nicaragua, Dominican Republic and Colombia.

CAO The Sopranos Edition will be packaged in 20 count boxes and will be available in three sizes: Associate (5″ x 52), Soldier (6″ x 54), and Boss (7″ x 56).
