Two of the core ADVentura lines are getting a small new vitola that will be due out in May.
For The Royal Return King’s Gold, it’s called the King’s Golden Tooth, while for The Royal Return Queen’s Pearls, its called Tear. Both cigars measure a compact 3 1/2 x 44, effectively a half corona that comes in packs of five. Those five packs are notable as they are 3D-printed out of corn, making them completely biodegradable.
The blends of the lines remain the same in these smaller formats; King’s Golden Tooth, which comes in gold packaging, uses a U.S.-grown Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, a Mexican San Andrés binder, and filler from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and the U.S. Each pack of five cigars is priced at $49.
Queen’s Pearls Tear, which comes in white packaging, uses an Ecuadorian-grown, Connecticut-seed wrapper and binder, while the fillers come from the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Nicaragua. It is priced at $47 for a five-pack.
Both cigars are regular production sizes and are produced at Tabacalera Mina del Rey, the company’s factory in the Dominican Republic. They will be featured in the company’s booth at the 2026 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which happens April 18-20 in New Orleans.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and the G-League’s Valley Suns. I was previously the PA announcer for the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League, and Goodyear Ballpark, spring training home of the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I’m a voiceover artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
