Foundation Cigars | The Wise Man

Wrapper: Nicaragua

Binder: Nicaragua

Filler: Nicaragua


Foundation Cigar Company has proudly expanded its acclaimed Wise Man series. Honoring Menelik I, son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, these releases reflect the deep heritage and masterful craftsmanship that define Foundation Cigars.


This cigar is a Nicaraguan puro cloaked in a Corojo 99 wrapper, crafted with premium tobaccos from Estelí and Jalapa. It delivers a bold yet balanced profile, layered with spice, cedar, and natural sweetness.


If you're a fan of Foundation Cigars, you won't want to miss our Foundation Cigar Dinner on Thursday, September 18, 2025. If you haven't already, join our email list to get first dibs on tickets when they go on sale.

J.C. Newman | El Baton

Wrapper: Ecuador

Binder: Nicaragua

Filler: Nicaragua


El Baton is one of J.C. Newman’s classic brands, first crafted by founder J.C. Newman in 1914. Originally hand-rolled in Cleveland, Ohio with Cuban tobacco, this nickel cigar enjoyed years of popularity before fading from shelves in the 1920s as machine-made cigars took over the market.


Nearly a century later, in 2008, J.C.’s grandsons, Eric and Bobby Newman, brought El Baton back to life, this time as the company’s first Nicaraguan cigar. Grown in Nicaragua’s most fertile soils, El Baton delivers a smooth yet hearty smoke with a touch of spice. What began as a single Double Torpedo vitola has expanded into a full lineup. The revival has been met with glowing praise, including a 91 rating from Cigar Aficionado.


Make no mistake, this isn’t your grandfather’s cigar. El Baton is the boldest blend in the J.C. Newman portfolio, packed with full-bodied Nicaraguan tobacco and a spicy kick that delivers an experience far richer than its price tag suggests. It’s proof that a cigar can carry a century of heritage while still surprising the modern aficionado.



Kristoff | JT Signature Series

Wrapper: Habano Vuelta Abajo (HVA)

Binder: Sumatra

Filler: Dominican Republic & San Andres


The Kristoff JT Series is crafted for the true cigar connoisseur. Named for Kristoff’s Executive Vice President, Jarrid Trudeau, this blend embodies the same bold character and complexity as its namesake. Expect a rich medley of flavors: deep espresso, sweet dried apricot, smooth chocolate, and a lingering sweet-spicy finish. A refined, full-bodied smoke that earns a spot in every cigar lover’s humidor.



Crowned Heads | Las Calaveras 2024 Limited Edition

Wrapper: Ecuador Habano Oscuro

Binder: Nicaragua

Filler: Nicaragua


In anticipation of the 2025 release of Las Calaveras, this limited edition cigar is a reminder why this line is so sought after. It's a homage to life, legacy, and the traditions of Día de Muertos. Inspired by the art of José Guadalupe Posada, this release embraces the holiday’s spirit of celebrating loved ones rather than mourning their loss.


An oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper surrounds premium, aged Nicaraguan binder and filler, delivering a layered flavor profile of mocha, licorice, cedar, and spice, with subtle notes of roasted nuts and vanilla. Even the packaging tells a story: the three rows symbolize life’s beginning, middle, and end, while the rows of eight represent new beginnings in biblical numerology.


Las Calaveras is more than a cigar; it’s a ritual, a moment to reflect, and a way to honor those who have shaped our lives, one refined draw at a time.



Black Label Trading Company | Lawless

Wrapper: Ecudar Habano Rosado

Binder: Nicaragua

Filler: Nicaragua


Many boutique cigar brands quietly craft hidden gems that only a lucky few discover, but Black Label Trading Co. refuses to stay under the radar. Founded in 2013 by James and Angela Brown with a “less is more” philosophy, the brand has been making waves in the cigar world, and Lawless is at the center of the buzz.


Wrapped in an oily Ecuadorian Habano Rosado leaf over Nicaraguan binder and filler, Lawless is a medium-to-full-bodied smoke that commands attention. Bold notes of cocoa, coffee, earth, wood, and pepper collide in a flavor profile that breaks all the rules in the best way possible.
