\"\"<\/a><\/strong>Zander-Greg has just debuted their new Nat Cicco HHB superpremium cigar.\u00c2\u00a0 It comes in three sizes: 7-1\/4″ x 52, 6-1\/4″ x 56 and 5-1\/4″ x 54. They share a pigtail-capped head and a foot that is enclosed within the wrapper.\u00c2\u00a0 Both features are also common to Zander-Greg\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just-introduced Aniversario 1965, which celebrates the year the Nat Cicco (SEEK-oh) \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rejects\u00e2\u20ac\u009d were born … the original value-priced cigar based on the oft-copied \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rejects\u00e2\u20ac\u009d theme.<\/p>\n

HHB has an Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut Shade leaf wrapper, with a Nicaraguan binder and filler.\u00c2\u00a0 The cigar is well-balanced and full-bodied.\u00c2\u00a0 The result is a smoke that the company describes as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153robust, but creamy- smooth, very flavorful and elegantly aromatic.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 The cigar\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s performance and opulent presentation have prompted Zander-Greg to confidently compare it to Cuba\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s vaunted Cohiba Behike, which retails for over $50 a cigar.\u00c2\u00a0 HHB\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s presentation befits its $14.00 manufacturer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s suggested retail price … a black \u00e2\u20ac\u0153piano-finish,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d furniture-grade Spanish cedar humidor-style box, holding ten nude cigars.<\/p>\n

In only five years since buying and reintroducing the dormant Nat Cicco Reject brand, Zander-Greg has systematically climbed the ladder to market recognition and acceptance.\u00c2\u00a0 Rejects are machine-made with homogenized binder, but still trump their short-filler competitors .. Rejects\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 extra-select, medium-length Cameroon, Connecticut, Honduran and Dominican remnants come from some of America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most prestigious and sought-after premiums.<\/p>\n

Cuban Legends, their first 100%-prime-leaf, handmade premium, retailing at under $2.50, has been their next success, fueled by the sagging economy.\u00c2\u00a0 In early 2012, the company unveiled the Nat Cicco Aniversario 1965 vintage cigar, with a competitive retail price of $6.00.\u00c2\u00a0 It is also gaining ground rapidly, according to a company spokesman.<\/p>\n

Zander-Greg\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ambitious 2013 advertising campaign will introduce HHB to smokers and retailers alike, to help build a network of participating shops.\u00c2\u00a0 The company is also actively promoting their cigars with in-store events nationwide.<\/p>\n

Nat Cicco HHB is making a beachhead on the superpremium and Havana market, with smokers being asked to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Just compare it … especially to Cuba\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Cohiba Behike.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
