Southern Draw Cigars and Cigars International today announces the release of two NEW sizes of Fraternal Order White (Lancero) and Fraternal Order Black (Solomon) and a new blend - Fraternal Order Blue (Toro) which have been produced by Southern Draw Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua. Exciting news for consumers, the Fraternal Order blends are no longer retail exclusives as Southern Draw and Cigars International will debut all three new releases at the 100% free event - Virtual CIGARFest 2020 on October 16^th and 17^th and provide the Fraternal Order portfolio to all retail store locations and online store for those consumers that are unable to visit one of the exciting retail store locations. https://www.facebook.com/CIGARfest

“It’s been a trying year for most all of us, and as we all adjust to the ever-changing environment in which we live, the Southern Draw family takes this opportunity to fellowship by sharing an integral part of our Fall Release Collection. The process for selecting the new Fraternal Order releases was unique in that we worked closely with members of Cigar Internationals product, marketing and merchandising teams (2019 we worked with the retail sales and management staff to make final decisions on the releases) and now we are pleased to share the expanded Fraternal Order cigar line as part of the innovative Virtual CIGARFest 2020. Cigars International has provided an ideal opportunity for consumers to learn more about these new releases via a special virtual appearance by Southern Draw Cigars at 3pm ET on October 17^th where we can share a cigar and maybe even offer some prizes and raffles during our scheduled 1 hour virtual visit. https://fb.me/e/1Lo1pCCVV Southern Draw is just a small part of a stellar line-up of brands so make plans to join Virtual CIGARfest for both days,” said Robert Holt on behalf of the entire family. “We would also like to extend our prayers and very best wishes for a full recovery to our friend and brother, Richard L. Monts, General Manager, CI Retail Superstore (Hamburg, PA).”

Jeffrey Kocher, VP of Merchandising: “Cigars International is proud to once again collaborate with the folks behind Southern Draw Cigars on these new, exciting projects made exclusively for CI Nation. Last year’s Fraternal Order releases at our retails stores were huge successes, and with the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from our customers, we knew we needed to keep the project going and open it up to a larger audience. Robert Holt, Sharon Holt, and AJ Fernandez Cigar Co. have crafted three great cigars in this batch that we are sure will become go-to favorites for fans of Southern Draw across the country. “
