Quesada Unveils the Highly Anticipated 2023 Oktoberfest Cigar Line, Featuring a Unique Salomon Press Shape

One of the more popular cigars from Quesada is the annual release of the Oktoberfest, cigars blended to be paired with beer. And at the PCA Convention & Trade Show, Quesada will launch the 2023 version of the cigars, including one with an unusual shape.

As expected, the 5½x52 Bavarian will make its return, just as the 6×52 Das Boot and the 6×60 Uber. 5000 cigars of each size are made, packed in boxes of 10. But the real kicker is an event only Salomon press. The cigar has the size of a toro extra, 6¾x50 but is shaped in a unique way with a head and foot that bulge out and a flatly pressed tapered mid-section. Quesada used this shape once before, in 2014 for their 40th Anniversary release.

The blend consists of Dominican tobacco under a Mexican San Andres wrapper and the cigars are made at TABADEX, the factory owned by the Quesada family in the Dominican Republic.
