RoMa Craft Tobac announces another new retail exclusive under their existing CroMagnon line. Introducing the all-new Venus, a 6-1/2 x 56 Petite Salamone being made especially for R. Fields in Honolulu Hawaii.
RoMaCraft Tobac co-owners Skip Martin and Michael Rosales have really started to create a buzz with their 3 main core lines: CroMagnon, Aquataine and Intemperance. In addition to these lines, there have been a handful of event-only and retail exclusive vitolas offered as well.
Leaf and Grape is proud to present these pictures to the cigar community for the very first time. As mentioned previously, Venus will be offered as an extension to the CroMagnon line, which means the blend will be identical to other vitolas in the line. A breakdown of CroMagnon Venus is as follows:
- Name: CroMagnon Venus (retail exclusive)
- Brand: RoMa Craft Tobac
- Origin: Nicaragua
- Factory: Fabrica de Tabacos Nica Sueño
- Vitola: 6-1/2 x 56 Petite Salamone
- Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
- Binder: Cameroon
- Filler: Nicaraguan
- Strength: Medium to Full
- MSRP: $10 ($15 Hawaii)

As highlighted on RoMa Craft’s Facebook page, these fertility figurines are thought to have been at the center of a Cro-Magnon religious fertility practice. It is evidence of the culture that differentiates Cro-Magnon as Early Modern Humans from the more primitive Neanderthals.
