LEAGUE OF FAT BASTARDS SERIE O 6×60
A box-pressed brute from Fabrica Oveja Negra. Dark Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, rugged and ready, and 40% of proceeds go to men's mental health. The stick carries weight, literally and otherwise.

FERIO TEGO TIMELESS SUPREME 650
Oily, reddish-brown Nicaraguan wrapper over all-Plasencia construction. Toffee, cocoa, and toasted marshmallow from first light to nub. A cigar that quietly becomes a go-to.

Someone handed it to me with no explanation. I took it on a sunset cruise on Tampa Bay, and by the final third the sun was gone and this cigar had my full attention.

CASA CARRILLO ASCEND SADDLE
Some cigars tell you what they are the second you pick them up. This one makes you work for it, unfolding a third at a time like a trail you didn't know you'd started.

H. UPMANN NICARAGUA SUNRISE
Don't let the Connecticut wrapper fool you. This is a Nicaraguan heart wrapped in orange and gold, the third AJ Fernandez expression, and the easiest of the three to love.

ROCKY PATEL SAPPHIRE
Six-to-seven-year-old Nicaraguan fillers and a first-ever Honduran Jamastran binder. Rocky's chasing old-world Cuban sweetness with new-world construction, and you can taste the chase.

THE CIGAR THAT NAMED A DYNASTY
A father, a son, and a story that started in Cuba sixty years ago. Three Cigars of the Year and 20 million sticks a year out of Esteli. If you've smoked premium, you've smoked a Garcia blend.

TÜBR GORDO ALÜMEN
Aircraft-grade anodized aluminum with a double O-ring seal. It survives the golf bag, the boat, and the car ride. Crush-proof, odor-proof, and yes, it floats.

ABBINA CRAFT SIPPING SODA
The first craft soda built to pair with a cigar. Four flavors made to amplify what's already in your smoke instead of fighting it.
