Principle Cigars Unveils Haberdasher Limited Edition
Principle Cigars has launched Haberdasher, a playful limited edition cigar release wrapped in vintage neckties. The project blends humour, craftsmanship, and small-batch production in a festive five-pack format.
A Playful Concept With a Serious Cigar
Principle Cigars rarely follows convention. Haberdasher proves that point immediately. The name references a traditional men’s outfitter. It also nods to the often-mocked necktie gift.
For this release, Principle Cigars leans into the joke. Each five-pack arrives wrapped in an actual tie. The result feels light-hearted but deliberate. The presentation still respects premium cigar culture.
Blend and Construction Details
Haberdasher uses a bold 6 x 55 format.
The size allows the blend to develop fully.
Wrapper, Binder, and Filler
The wrapper comes from Ecuador. It uses a habano hybrid varietal. The binder originates in the Dominican Republic. Specifically, it comes from the Cotuí region. The filler blend mixes complexity and balance. It includes three Dominican varietals. U.S.-grown tobacco completes the recipe.
Factory and Craftsmanship
The Kelner Boutique Factory produces the cigars. The factory operates in the Dominican Republic. It has a reputation for tight quality control. Construction consistency remains a core strength.
Design Inspired by Classic Menswear
The band design reinforces the theme. It mirrors a 1960s shirt tag aesthetic. Clean typography replaces ornate graphics. The look feels retro without becoming kitsch.
Packaging plays a central role here. Each tie makes every five-pack slightly unique. That detail adds collectability.
It also strengthens the gift appeal.
Pricing, Availability, and Future Plans
Principle Cigars prices Haberdasher at $60 per five-pack. That positions it firmly in the boutique segment.
The cigars are already shipping. Select retailers carry the release now. Direct availability also exists through Principle Cigars.
Founder Darren Cioffi sees potential beyond this run. He described the project as a test. He also called it a Christmas experiment. Thousands of ties remain in storage.
A return remains possible. For now, Haberdasher stays deliberately limited.
