Quesada Oktoberfest 2025 Cigars Begin Shipping Ahead of Munich Festival
Quesada has released its annual Oktoberfest cigars, timed perfectly for the world-famous beer festival in Munich. The 2025 edition features new sizes, updated packaging, and a blend designed to complement traditional German beers.
A Tradition Since 2011
First launched in 2011, the Quesada Oktoberfest line was created to pair with Bavarian-style beers. The cigars are rolled at the Quesada factory in the Dominican Republic and have become a yearly favourite for aficionados. Each edition introduces fresh tweaks to the blend and presentation, keeping the release both seasonal and collectible.
Blend and Construction
Wrapper and Fillers
For 2025, the cigars feature a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper over Dominican binder and fillers. This combination mirrors the blends of recent years, offering a bold and balanced profile that complements malty German lagers.
Seasonal Presentation
As with every Oktoberfest release, the box and band designs have been updated for 2025. This annual refresh is part of the tradition, making each year’s edition distinct for collectors.
Sizes and Pricing
The Quesada Oktoberfest 2025 comes in five sizes, all packed in 10-count boxes. Production is limited to 500 boxes per size.
Bavarian – 5 ½ x 52, $12.08
Kaiser Ludwig (box-pressed) – 6 x 49, $10.50
Das Boot (torpedo) – 6 x 52, $12.08
