Patina Cigars Announces Line Extension for “Red Pill” Ahead of 2026 PCA Convention

Mar 19, 2026

“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."


Blend & Product Details

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

  • Wrapper: Mexican San Andres Oscuro

  • Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf

  • Filler: United States & Nicaragua

  • Vitola: 6 x 52 (Parejo/Round)

  • MSRP: $14.00 per cigar

  • Packaging: Boxes of 20


Availability

While the cigar is designated as Patina’s featured release for the PCA (Premium Cigar Association) trade show, retailers and consumers won’t have to wait long to get their hands on it. The Red Pill Parejo is scheduled to begin shipping the first week of April.
