“Red Pill”
BOCA RATON, FL – Patina Cigars is proud to announce the first line extension to its acclaimed Red Pill series. Making its debut as the company’s official PCA release, the new vitola introduces a traditional round format to a line previously defined by its box-pressed presentation.
A New Dimension for a Bold Blend
The Red Pill line, known for its rich profile and Patina’s first foray into box-pressing, is expanding to include a 6 x 52 Parejo. This move allows enthusiasts to experience the nuances of the Red Pill blend through a different combustion and airflow profile.
"The introductory vitolas of the Red Pill line were in a box press format which was a first for Patina," said Mo Maali, founder of Patina Cigars. "The cigar nerd in me loves to see how the same blend smokes in different formats and so I decided to release it in a parejo format so Patina consumers can experience it as well."

The Red Pill Parejo maintains the robust, dark tobacco architecture that has made the line a favorite among full-bodied smokers:
