RoMa Craft Tobac will unveil an updated version of its CroMagnon line with a new blend and updated packaging. The original CroMagnon may return at some point, but the company’s focus will be on the updated CroMagnon line, which will feature a Pennsylvania broadleaf wrapper instead of the Connecticut broadleaf that has been used for CroMagnon since its launch in 2011.
Those changes will extend to the regular production vitolas of CroMagnon—the 2024 RoMa Craft price list shows the same seven regular production vitolas for the Pennsylvania version as the Connecticut version—and also the limited production vitolas. There are four limited production cigars listed for the Pennsylvania blend, three of which are not new: Blockhead (6 x 54), Gran Perfecto (5 5/8 x 60) and Mastodon (4 1/2 x 60).
There’s one new name: CroMagnon Clovis.
Clovis is the CroMagnon Black Irish but in the new blend. Like Black Irish, it’s a version of the 5 x 56 EMH size, but with a barber pole wrapper design that uses Ecuadorian candela tobacco as an accent. The internal blend will be the same as the updated CroMagnon blend: a Sumatra hybrid binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
The MSRP is set at $13.15 per cigar, and 2024 production is limited to 500 boxes of 24 cigars. Clovis is expected to ship in April.
