MIAMI, FL. - (16 June 2011). Forcade Cigars will pre-release its two new cigars “Forcade Robusto Gordo” and “Forcade Cañonazo” at the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers (IPCPR) this July 2011 at The Venetian Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada to satisfy the expectations of cigar connoisseurs who are looking for cigars of considerable ring gage, who will be able to enjoy them starting on September 2011.

The “Forcade Robusto Gordo” will be 5 x 54 and the “Forcade Cañonazo”, 6 x 60 and will be presented in boxes of 20 cigars with gracious “windows in the front”, allowing the smokers to take a quick view of the cigars. Their intense aroma and exceptional flavors, position them between the medium to full body range. Both formats will join the successful “Forcade Toro”, in the market since August 2010. Jaime García blends all the Forcade Cigars, which are made by hand in Nicaragua at My Father Cigar Factory.

“I am really excited about these two sizes, we were looking forward to release them since months ago and now we’ll do it at the show” said Chistrian Forcade, President of Forcade Cigars. “Two new sizes extending the Forcade line, they are two perfect blends for big ring gages delivering an intense smoke. Aficionados will be surprised by the power of the flavors in them” added Claudio Sgroi, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing.

The launch of these new lines is part of a complete renovation of the image of the Forcade brands and their packaging, which started in April 2011, with the appointment of Claudio Sgroi as Vice-President of Sales and Marketing, in order to meet the needs of the most exigent smokers in the market.

ABOUT FORCADE CIGARS
The current generation of the Forcade Family is passionately involved in the creation of wonderful cigars such as: Forcade, Giralda Natural and Giralda Maduro. Jaime García blends all the Forcade Cigars, which are made by hand in Nicaragua at My Father Cigar Factory.

The history of Forcade Cigars dates back to 1887 when Thomas Novales migrated from Palma de Mallorca, Spain to Cabeza-Pinar del Rio, Cuba, where he passed down his knowledge and dedication to the cultivation of tobacco to his four children. They dedicated their lives to the manufacture of quality cigars. The Forcade children and then grandchildren fell in love with the family business and together they were able to continue the company that their ancestors had created, assuring the quality and freshness of their fine cigars. The company is named after the Forcade Family, in memory of Manolo Forcade, who died at sea trying to escape Fidel Castro’s communist regime and to pursue his dream of continuing the Forcade tradition in the United States.
