HVC Hot Cake Fresh Out Of The Oven Broadleaf Returns For 2025
HVC Cigars is bringing back its Hot Cake Fresh Out of the Oven Broadleaf series, but the sizes for its 2025 release have changed. They’re expected to start shipping to retailers in the middle of next month.
Produced in limited quantities, Hot Cake Fresh Out of the Oven Broadleaf debuted at last year’s PCA trade show. The cigars are made at Fabrica de Tabacos HVC S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua, and the defining component of the blend is its broadleaf wrapper grown in the Connecticut River Valley. The rest of the cigar is all Nicaraguan with a binder grown in Jalapa and fillers from Estelí and Jalapa.
According to HVC, the cigars are medium-to-full in terms of strength.
Last year, HVC released Fresh Out of the Oven Broadleaf in a Torpedo and Toro Extra format. This year, it’s coming in different sizes: Gran Torpedo, measuring 5 1/2 inches by 56 ring gauge ($17); and Coronas Gigantes, 6 7/8 by 50 ($16). Both are packaged in 25-count boxes.
Production is limited to 350 boxes of each size for this year’s edition.
