Tula: A Victory Day Premiere

On Victory Day, CONNOISSEUR gathered at the 19/72 lounge for the official premiere of Tula — the fifth release in the Hero Cities — Victory Cigars project.

The cigar was presented by Andrey Loskutov, president of the Russian Cigar Union. The grey band symbolises Tula weapons steel, while the Torpedo format evokes the shape of a projectile. The release was created by Anton Reyes, owner of the Taino factory.

Members learned about the project’s thirteen planned cigars honouring the Hero Cities and about the Russian Cigar Union, which brings together clubs across 65 regions of the country. The meeting connected the memory of Victory, historical reflection and contemporary cigar culture.
