Quesada Oktoberfest Returning For 2025
The world’s most popular beer festival, Oktoberfest, is still several months away but Quesada Cigars is getting into the spirit a little early. The seasonally themed Oktoberfest cigars were on display at this year’s PCA trade show in New Orleans and are scheduled to ship this August.
Quesada Oktoberfest is made at the Quesada factory in the Dominican Republic, and has been blended to pair with German beer ever since the brand’s debut in 2011. When it was first released, Oktoberfest was all Dominican (some limited editions were made with Nicaraguan tobacco as well), but the core blend changed in 2021, and now the cigar consists of a dark, Mexican San Andrés wrapper with Dominican binders and fillers.
The 2025 edition of Oktoberfest is available in five sizes: Bavarian, measuring 5 1/2 inches by 52 ring gauge ($12.08); the box-pressed Kaiser Ludwig, 6 by 49 ($10.50); Das Boot, a 6-by-52 torpedo ($12.08); the hefty Uber, 6 by 65 ($12.60); and the Salomon Box Press ($12.60), which has a length of 6 3/4 and a double-tapered body that swells to a 50 ring gauge at its widest point. The Salomon Box Press was previously an event-only cigar, but Quesada says it was incorporated into the regular line due to customer demand.
The cigars come in boxes of 10. Only 500 boxes of each size are being produced.
