On June 2016, as part of its 20th Anniversary celebration and by popular demand, PIO has officially released its hidden jewel, the PIO classic, which until today and since its creation in 1996, was only being sold at very few, select cigar shops.

“We are now going to share it with the rest of the world.  Same blend, aroma, and taste of the last 20 years but rightfully decorated with the commemorative band and the label name “PIO 1996 Series” previously released for our 10 year anniversary in 2006.” Stated PIO in an email to Cigar & Spirits Magazine.

The PIO 1996 Series is offered in the same original five sizes or vitolas, box of 20 Cigars each size (Robusto 6×50, Churchill 7×48, Toro 6×52, Torpedo 6×52, and Toro Extra 6×54) and in the same original presentation (Ecuadorian Sumatra Maduro binder and wrapper, with a filler blend of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Mexican tobacco.
