Quesada Oktoberfest Turns 15 and Raises Prices

The Quesada Oktoberfest, the cigar world's longest-running seasonal beer pairing, has shipped its 2026 edition to retailers. The recipe stays put: a Mexican San Andres wrapper over Dominican binder and filler, blended to stand up to a malty Märzen, in the same five vitolas as last year including the box-pressed Kaiser Ludwig and the oddly elegant Salomon Press. Prices are up $1 to $3.50 per cigar, landing between $13.25 and $15 depending on size, which puts the line right at the ceiling of what the community currently calls fair for a limited annual. The real deadline is packaging: 2026 is the final year for the current look before the line is reborn with the new Quesada logo shown at PCA this summer. Fifteen consecutive years makes Oktoberfest a franchise, and collectors know final-edition packaging tends to age well in the humidor and on the secondary market.
