Crux Cigars is expanding its Marblehead line with a new maduro version that will begin shipping to retailers in May 2026. The Marblehead Maduro will feature a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Nicaraguan tobacco blend and will be available in two sizes: Gordo (6 x 60) for $8.99 per bundle of 20, and Toro (6 x 50) for $7.99 per bundle of 20.

Why it matters

The Marblehead line is Crux's signature value-priced brand, and the addition of a maduro option provides consumers with more wrapper choices at an affordable price point. Crux's focus on quality and consistency in its budget-friendly offerings has helped the brand build a loyal following.

The details

The Crux Marblehead Maduro will be produced at Tabacalera Pages de Nicaragua S.A., the same factory that makes the original Marblehead blend which debuted earlier this year. The new maduro version will ship to retailers in 20-count clear PVC bundles, with each bundle containing four five-pack sub-bundles. Retailers will also receive a refillable 60-count display tray for the Marblehead line.

  • The Crux Marblehead Maduro will be showcased at the 2026 PCA Convention & Trade Show in New Orleans from April 18-20.
