Accessories and Design
- Cigar Boxes: The boxes for the Limited Edition (10 cigars) and Flagship Exclusive (24 cigars) are made of dark-toned, natural wood with the auspicious red color of the Lunar New Year. Inside, they feature a stitched green frame (like a saddle pad) and a removable strap (like reins).
- Accessories Gift Set: This set includes a white golden porcelain ashtray for two cigars, a red-and-green cigar leather case, and a golden double blade cutter (RG 60) designed to cut the big ring gauge of the toro especial. Only 328 pieces of the accessories are available as part of the Gift Set.
