Quesada Oktoberfest 2026 Ships

Quesada Cigars has shipped the latest release in its Oktoberfest line to retailers.

This is the 15th year in a row the company has released the limited-edition cigar, which is named after the annual beer festival that takes place in Munich, Germany. The blend of a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican fillers is designed to be paired with Märzen-style beer that is made for Oktoberfest. The cigars are being made at the Tabacos de Exportación factory in the Dominican Republic.

For 2026, the company is releasing the same five vitolas that were available in 2025. That includes the three core sizes of Oktoberfest that are typically released each year—Bavarian, Das Boot and Über—as well as the box-pressed Kaiser Ludwig. The fifth cigar is the Salomon Press vitola, a double perfecto with round, tapered ends on both sides of its nearly seven-inch-long body and an aggressive box press in the center.

Compared to last year’s release, pricing has increased by $1-3.50 per cigar, and Quesada says this will be the last year the line uses this version of the packaging. Next year’s release is said to be getting an all-new look, which will incorporate the company’s new logo that was shown off during the 2026 PCA Convention & Trade Show.

“Reaching 15 years with Oktoberfest is especially meaningful for us,” said Patricia Quesada, co-owner of Quesada Cigars, in a press release. “It’s one of the first blends developed with the involvement of the fifth generation of the Quesada family, which makes this release particularly special as we look both at where we started and where we are.”

Boxes of the Quesada Oktoberfest 2026 started shipping to stores on Monday.
