DBL Cigars Unveils 12th Anniversary and Chengo Releases for PCA 2025

April 8, 2025 Inspector X 2 min read

DBL Cigars celebrates its 12th anniversary with two bold new cigars—the 12th Anniversary and Chengo—each offered in two wrapper styles and set to debut at PCA 2025 in New Orleans.

DBL Cigars is marking a major milestone in 2025 with the release of two exciting new blends—the DBL 12th Anniversary and Chengo—in honour of the company’s twelfth year in the premium cigar industry. These cigars will officially debut at the upcoming PCA Trade Show in New Orleans, and both are offered in two distinct wrapper options: Mexican Sun Grown Habano and Mexican Sun Grown San Andrés Maduro.

Chengo – A Tribute to a Key Figure

Named after DBL’s lead farmer, Chengo, who has overseen the company’s agricultural efforts in the Cibao region since its inception, this full-strength, full-bodied cigar reflects the hands and heart behind DBL’s unique Dominican-grown T-13 hybrid tobacco. This standout tobacco is central to the filler, paired with a Sumatra binder and finished with a closed foot and pigtail cap for a punchy, aromatic start.

• Vitola: 6 x 52
• MSRP: $13.00
• Strength: Full

According to DBL, the Chengo offers a black pepper spice and depth of flavour rarely found in Dominican blends.

DBL 12th Anniversary – A Landmark Cigar

To mark twelve years of craft and growth, DBL presents the 12th Anniversary, a medium-to-full strength cigar lauded by Dominican master smokers as one of the country’s finest. The blend features an organic Corojo ’99 binder, paired with Criollo ’98 and Carbonell fillers, all cultivated on DBL’s own farm.

• Vitola: 5 7/8 x 56 (Box Pressed)
• MSRP: $13.00
• Strength: Medium to Full

Both cigars showcase DBL’s evolving expertise in organic farming and Dominican innovation, offering aficionados two compelling reasons to visit the DBL booth at PCA 2025. Whether you’re drawn to the bold spice of Chengo or the elegance of the 12th Anniversary, these new releases promise to make a lasting impression.
