Cavalier Genève Green Jacket 2026 Churchill ships to retailers in 11-count boxes

Cavalier Genève began sending its annual Green Jacket 2026 to selected U.S. retailers the week publications ran late February, with international distribution to follow as October 2025 pre-orders are fulfilled. The release arrives as an 11-count box that contains ten 7 x 47 Churchill cigars in the 2026 blend and an eleventh muestra - a preview of the Green Jacket 2027 - produced at Fábrica Centroamericana de Tabaco S.A. (FCT) in Danlí, Honduras.

The 2026 cigar is built on a Nicaraguan wrapper from the Jalapa region atop a Connecticut-seed binder grown under shade in Honduras, with fillers sourced from Honduras and Nicaragua. Premium Cigar Association summed the formulation: "The 2026 blend features a Jalapa wrapper over a Connecticut binder with fillers from Honduras and Nicaragua, offering a balanced expression that reflects the brand’s evolving profile." Each of the 2026 cigars measures 7 inches long by a 47 ring gauge, the classic Churchill format Cavalier chose for this Inner Circle program.

The eleventh cigar in every box is a 2027 muestra presented with a plain factory or simple white band to differentiate it from the green-banded 2026 pieces. The muestra shares the same 7 x 47 Churchill size but is built on Honduran Jamastran wrapper and binder, with a filler blend that mixes tobaccos from Honduras, Nicaragua and Paraguay and includes some Ecuador Sumatra. Cigar Aficionado reported those specifics and relayed founder Sébastien DeCoppet’s assessment: "Both cigars are medium-bodied in terms of strength, though the 2027 is the milder of the two."

Packaging leans into the Masters Tournament theme that underpins Green Jacket. This is the third year Cavalier has packaged a current-year blend with a forward-looking preview cigar in the same box, and Halfwheel noted the box artwork includes a drawing of the 16th green, nicknamed Redbud, as an explicit nod to the Masters. The 2026 cigars carry green Inner Circle bands; the 2027 muestra keeps a non-decorative factory band from FCT.

Retail math is simple to follow and a point of purchase decision for gifting. MSRP is $203 per 11-count box. Some outlets divide evenly to report roughly $18.45 per cigar by splitting $203 by 11, while Cigar Aficionado presented a dual figure that treats the ten primary 2026 cigars as $20.30 each and the single 2027 muestra at $18.45. Both calculations reflect the same $203 box price but allocate it differently for collectors who track per-stick value.

If you’re shopping anniversary gifts for a partner who appreciates cigars, a collector or a Masters fan, this Green Jacket box is specific and timely: produced in-house at FCT in Danlí, tied to a three-year Inner Circle program, and priced at $203 for a distinct 10-plus-1 presentation that doubles as a sampler and a keepsake. With selected U.S. retailers receiving stock the week of the late-February announcements and international shipments following pre-orders, availability will hinge on inner-circle allocations and the limited nature of the run.
