Altadis U.S.A. and Churchill Downs® Continue Celebrated Partnership with Romeo y Julieta 152nd Kentucky Derby®

In continued partnership with Churchill Downs® and the Kentucky Derby®, Altadis U.S.A. is proud to unveil the Romeo y Julieta 152nd Kentucky Derby® limited-edition cigar, continuing a tradition that unites two iconic institutions founded in 1875.

Building on the success of previous releases, the 152nd edition honors the elegance, tradition, and celebratory spirit that define the Kentucky Derby, while remaining true to the craftsmanship and heritage of the Romeo y Julieta brand.

“The Kentucky Derby is one of the most iconic celebrations of tradition and excellence in American culture,” said Mariana Hinestrosa, Senior Brand Manager for Romeo y Julieta. “This release was designed to reflect that same sense of occasion, through refined presentation, thoughtful details and a blend crafted to recognize one of the most memorable events of the year.”

The limited-edition Romeo y Julieta 152nd Kentucky Derby is presented in a white collector’s box accented with gold detailing and red rose artwork, paying tribute to the iconic blanket of red roses that is draped over the winning thoroughbred. The meticulous design draws inspiration from the Derby’s most recognizable visual elements, while remaining true to the timeless aesthetic of Romeo y Julieta.

The Romeo y Julieta 152nd Kentucky Derby will be available in two box formats:

A 10-count collector’s box, offered through select premium retailers nationwide; and A 1-count commemorative coffin, available exclusively at kiosks throughout Churchill Downs® during Derby Week.

This limited edition features a medium-bodied cigar crafted with Nicaraguan tobaccos, offering a balanced and flavorful profile with notes of vanilla, white chocolate, and a clean, refined finish.

Designed to be enjoyed throughout Derby Week and beyond, the cigar delivers enough complexity to engage seasoned aficionados yet remains refined enough for those seeking a celebratory smoke that does not overwhelm.

Production is limited to one thousand 10-count boxes nationwide, reinforcing the collectable nature of the release. Shipping will begin in April, in advance of the Kentucky Derby, which is held annually on the first Saturday in May at the historic Churchill Downs® in Louisville, Ken.

As part of this longstanding partnership, Altadis U.S.A. is expanding its role and will be the exclusive provider of premium cigars at Churchill Downs during Derby week. This will allow for elevated on-site engagement experiences with some of the most highly regarded brands including Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, H. Upmann, Trinidad and Aging Room.

“This is a strategic effort to strengthen our presence at one of the most prestigious events in the country,” said Oliver Hyams, Vice President of Marketing at Altadis U.S.A. “It allows us to connect our brands with a highly engaged audience.”

LOFB Cigars Announces “Department of Honor” — First PCA Exclusive Release Honouring First Responders and Armed Forces

LOFB Cigars (League of Fat Bastards) proudly announces the release of its first PCA-exclusive cigar offering, Department of Honor, a limited-edition pack dedicated to first responders and the six branches of the United States armed forces. 

This special release underscores the company’s mission-driven focus on supporting men’s mental health and recognising the pressures faced by those who serve on the front lines of society.

Founded on the principles of brotherhood, resilience and open dialogue around mental wellbeing, LOFB Cigars views the Department of Honor project as a natural extension of its core values. 

Founder Adam J. Levine commented on the significance of the launch: “

This release fits perfectly into our mission. First responders and armed forces operate under high pressure. These situations can have severe consequences for their mental wellbeing and can lead to depression, PTSD and other mental illnesses. That’s why we chose to release a PCA exclusive pack to support them.”

The Department of Honor pack contains four cigars presented in a paper-wrapped bundle and features two distinct blends: one milder profile and one stronger profile, both offered in a corona format. 

The decision to use a shorter vitola was made following internal discussions with both the LOFB cigar team and the company’s mental health advisors. Levine explained the rationale:

“We decided to go for a shorter format — something that can be smoked relatively quickly after a job while getting ready for the next one. It offers a short mental break on the spot that can help these heroes relax a little before heading into the next situation.”

The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for the Department of Honor four-pack is set at $46.24. The initial production run will consist of 400 packs, with the option to expand production should demand exceed expectations. A Nicaraguan cigar of the highest quality, which has become synonymous with LOFB Cigars,  the specific blend compositions remain undisclosed at this time. 

LOFB Cigars anticipates that shipping will commence in mid-May.

With Department of Honor, LOFB Cigars combines craftsmanship with purpose, delivering a product that not only celebrates premium tobacco but also highlights the importance of mental wellbeing among those who serve under extraordinary pressure.

“Bloody Good Cigars for a Bloody Good Cause.”

Azorian Robusto by Tradecraft Cigars (5 x 54)

Video review HERE.

(Description provided by Tradecraft Cigars)

The Azorian, blended by Rob Blumenthal & Wiber Ventura is Tradecraft Cigars Medium-Bodied full flavor offering designed to capture the essence of relaxation and warm tropical sunshine. This cigar delivers a smooth, carefree escape with every draw.  The name Azorian also pays homage to one of the most daring covert mission, Operation Azorian- where the CIA successfully recovered a russian nuclear submarine from the bottom of the Pacific.

Produced by Wiber Ventura at Tabacalera William Ventura in Tamboril, Dominican Republic, The Azorian features the finest tobaccos and flawless construction.

The Azorian is wrapped in a beautifully oily, reddish-brown 7th priming Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, draped over an Ecuadorian Sumatraninder with fillers of PA, Ecuadorian Puntiao, Corojo & Criollo 98'.

The Azorian is wonderfully complex yet balanced, with tasting notes of rich caramel, earth, subtle baking spice and sweet rum. 

Available in 5x54 Robusto and 6 x 54 Toro.

The cigar is nicely made and has a nice feel in the hand.

The test draw after cutting the cap was good. The initial flavors at light up were unripened peach, a little brown sugar, and a lot of earthy black coffee. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2. The lead flavor needs to develop and increase in sweetness.

At the first third (20 minutes) the unripened peach flavor has a touch more brown sugar. But there's a lot of earthy black coffee. The cigar is medium bodied. The finish is unripened peach with very good lingering black pepper. I'm not a fan of the lead flavor but the brown sugar helps. I rated the first third 92.

Moving through the second third (45 minutes) there's a little more earthy black coffee which pulls down the sweet notes, which are already a little lower than I'd like. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is unchanged. The front end lead flavor is not developing. I rated the second third 91.

The cigar lasted 1 hour 4 minutes. The peach notes finally developed but in a rather low version. There is a touch of brown sugar there and the earthy black coffee pulled back a little. The cigar is full bodied. The finish is a peach note with black coffee and very good lingering black pepper. The cigar slightly improved. I rated the final third 92. 

Overall Score: 91.67

Gladius Robusto by Tradecraft Cigars (5 x 50)

Video review HERE.

(Description provided by Tradecraft Cigars)

The Gladius is the cornerstone of Tradecraft Cigars core line.  It exemplifies everything we love and look for in a blend.  Crafted by Wiber Ventura at Tabacalera William Ventura, the Gladius boasts perfect construction in all it's vitolas.  The cigar pays homage to the history of the mighty Roman Empire, and the sword yielded by it's Legionaires in battle.

The Gladius features a fire cured San Andres Maduro wrapper grown and supplied from the famed Turrent Family that has been aged from 3-5 years prior to application.  Under the wrapper an Ecuadorian Sumatran Binder encases fillers of Pennsylvania Broadleaf, PA, Ecuadorian Puntiao and Corojo.  

The flavor profile of The Gladius is clean, consistent, full and unlike anything we have smoked.  Expect robust notes of bakers chocolate, meaty savoriness, bakers spices and earth.  The retrohale is equally as complex, with notes of citrus and cinnamon.  The smoke of this cigar causes a pleasant mouth watering effect that keeps you wanting more.  

Available in 5x50 Robusto and 6 x 54 Toro.

The cigar is nicely made and has an average feel in the hand.

The test draw after cutting the cap was very good. The initial flavors at light up were lime, apple, brown sugar, a little earthiness, and black coffee. There was black coffee rated at 7 1/2. Nice start.

At the first third (18 minutes) the cigar is mixing very well. The same notes are in play along with a little toffee. The mix is very sweet. The cigar is medium bodied. The finish is lime and apple with very good lingering black pepper. I rated the first third 95.

As I moved through the second third (34 minutes) the black coffee rose and there was an element of citrus peel in the sweet mix. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is lime, apple, and black coffee with very good lingering black pepper. The cigar is still very good but the citrus peel and elevated black coffee took away a little. I rated the second third 94.

The cigar lasted 55 minutes. In the final third it pretty much reverted back to the way it was in the first third. The citrus peel went away and the black coffee toned down. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is unchanged. The thick sweetness is back and it's very good. I rated the final third 95. For a first cigar from a new company this is a great start.

Overall Score: 94.67

Joya Red, White, & Blue announced

Joya de Nicaragua announces the release of Joya Red White and Blue, a limited-edition cigar created exclusively for the United States in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence.

"For decades, American cigar smokers have embraced Joya de Nicaragua and allowed us to grow alongside them,” said Joel Fernandez, SAG Imports National Sales Director, “This cigar is our way of saying thank you. As the United States celebrates 250 years of independence, we wanted to create something that could accompany our consumers during one of the most meaningful celebrations in their history. It also marks a special moment for us, as in 2026 we launch our independent distribution under SAG Imports in the United States — the world’s reference market for premium cigars.”

Joya Red White and Blue features an Ecuadorian H. wrapper over carefully selected binders and fillers from Jalapa & Esteli, crafted as part of the JOYA line alongside Joya Cabinetta, Red, Silver, and Black. True to the line’s signature approachability, it delivers a medium-bodied smoking experience, enhanced by extended aging to achieve

The feel and look of the packaging was crafted in the same spirit as the occasion itself. Patriotic elements and quiet symbols of freedom, ambition, and the pursuit of new horizons shape the band and the box in equal measure — honoring a country that has long inspired the world, and a cigar culture that has grown into one of its finest traditions.

“The packaging reflects the spirit of the celebration,” said Cristhian Lanzas, Marketing Director of SAG Imports. “It gently references American aviation, a symbol of freedom, ambition, and the pursuit of new horizons. The cigar band is also complemented by fifty stars encircling the design, representing the 50 states that form a nation that has long inspired the world.”

With a limited production of 500 boxes, Joya Red White and Blue will be presented in 10-count boxes in a traditional Toro (6 x 52) format, with an MSRP of $13.50 per cigar and $135 per box.

The cigar will make its official debut to retailers at the PCA Convention & Trade Show in New Orleans, at the SAG Imports Booth #3447, with shipments to U.S. cigar shops scheduled to begin in early June 2026, giving consumers time to enjoy it ahead of their Fourth of July celebrations.

Don Emmanuel Cigars to Preview Sun & Moon Limited Edition Ahead of PCA 2026 with Rare Miami Appearance by Eladio Díaz

Don Emmanuel Cigars will preview its upcoming Sun & Moon Limited Edition during a special public event at Empire Social Lounge on Wednesday, March 25 at 7:00 PM, offering enthusiasts a first look at the brand’s newest dual-blend project ahead of the 2026 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show.

The evening will feature a rare appearance by legendary master blender Eladio Diaz alongside Brazilian founder and Master Cigar Sommelier Don Emmanuel. The event marks one of Díaz’s few public engagements outside the Dominican Republic and his first appearance at a cigar event in Miami, where he will join Emmanuel in presenting and discussing the philosophy behind the new project.

Developed in partnership with Díaz and produced at Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera in the Dominican Republic, Sun & Moon explores the concept of dual energies through two distinct blends presented within a single box.

Inspired by the natural balance between opposing forces, Sun & Moon reflects the relationship between light and time, energy and reflection. The Sun blend captures brightness and vitality intended for daytime enjoyment, while the Moon blend reveals a deeper and more contemplative character suited for the evening.

Both cigars are crafted in a 6½ x 50 format and feature tobaccos aged in rum barrels, a rare process that contributes additional layers of aroma, complexity, and depth to the smoking experience.

Blend Details

Sun

Wrapper: Ecuador Connecticut

Binder: Dominican Republic

Filler: Dominican Republic

Moon

Wrapper: Ecuador Habano

Production is limited to 777 numbered boxes, each containing 14 cigars — seven Sun and seven Moon — allowing smokers to experience both interpretations of the concept within a single presentation.

The suggested retail price is $350 per box, with individual cigars priced at $25 each.

For Emmanuel, whose approach to cigars is influenced by symbolism and the rhythms of nature, the project represents a continuation of the brand’s philosophy.

“Sun gives strength. Moon gives time. A cigar is where both worlds meet,” said Emmanuel.

Wrapper - Habano and Oscuro Barber Pole

Binder - Criollo Desflorado

Filler - Esteli, Condega and Jalapa

A medium to full barber pole cigar blended by Miguel Pinto and crafted at MGE factory in Esteli, Nicaragua.

The cigar is nicely made and has a nice feel in the hand.

The test draw after cutting the cap was good with a touch of firmness but it was workable. The initial flavors at light up were lime, pear, brown sugar, dry leather, and light black coffee. There is a lot of sweetness in the lime/pear/brown sugar combination. There was black pepper rated at 7 to 7 1/2. Nice start.

At the first third (24 minutes) the cigar is burning fairly evenly. There is a significant amount of sweetness. I still had the lime and pear as the primary flavors but there is a syrupy consistency when they are combined with the brown sugar. There is also tanned leather and somewhat elevated black coffee. The finish is lime and leather with very good lingering black pepper. The cigar is medium bodied. The syrupy notes are quite nice. I rated the first third 94.

Moving through the second third (51 minutes) the lime and pear notes are a little muffled due to the addition of citrus peel and it has brought some bitterness with it. The black coffee has risen quite a bit. The leather is subtle. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is lime, pear, and black coffee with very good lingering black pepper. The bitterness of the citrus peel and reduction of sweetness hurt the cigar. I rated the second third 91.

The cigar lasted 1 hour 19 minutes. The black coffee pulled back and the sweet notes came out a little more. The syrupy sweetness is not there but the lime, pear, and brown sugar are nice. The bitterness went away. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is lime, pear, and brown sugar with very good lingering black pepper. I rated the final third 93. The Grouchy Monkey website has these priced at $48 for a 5 pack.

Sarzedas Toro (6 x 50)

Video review HERE.

(Description provided by JC Newman cigars)

U.S. Patent Office records show that J.C. Newman first rolled Sarzedas cigars in 1900. A century ago, Sarzedas was widely known as “The Aromatic Cigar.” One hundred and twenty-five years later, J.C. Newman will reintroduce Sarzedas cigars at the Premium Cigar Association Trade Show in New Orleans this weekend. The new Sarzedas cigars are handmade at J.C. Newman’s PENSA cigar factory in Esteli, Nicaragua.

“I have loved the Sarzedas name and the brand’s history as ‘The Aromatic Cigar’ for years,” said fourth-generation owner Drew Newman. “I have been wanting to bring this historic brand back, but had to wait until we could create a blend that lives up to the brand’s legacy. Sarzedas is the most flavorful cigar we have ever made.”

Sarzedas cigars are rolled in four sizes, a 6” x 50 toro, a 4.75” x 52 robusto, a 7” x 48 Churchill, and a 5.5” x 43 corona. They were blended by Rich Dolak, J.C. Newman’s longtime Vice President of Operations who has blending the cigars with the Newmans for 29 years. Sarzedas features a silky smooth Ecuadorian Shade wrapper, and binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. J.C. Newman will set the suggested retail price when Sarzedas is ready to ship this summer but expects it to be between $8 and $10 per cigar.

“Sarzedas is a fun, flavorful cigar that everyone can enjoy,” said Newman. 

The Sarzedas display at J.C. Newman’s booth will feature a vintage Sarzeda cigar box, a 100-year-old Sarzedas ashtrays, and Sarzedas newspaper ads from the early 1900s.

This is the third of five new products that J.C. Newman introduced at the PCA Trade Show.

The cigar is brown and well made. It has an average feel in the hand.

The test draw after cutting the cap was good. The initial flavors at light up were orange citrus, brown sugar, cinnamon, whipping cream, and light black coffee. The whipping cream is very sweet and you can't miss it. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2. A very sweet start and a nice start.

At the first third (17 minutes) the notes are about the same in the same percentages. The cigar is very sweet from the citrus, brown sugar, and whipping cream. The cigar is medium bodied. The finish is whipping cream, a little brown sugar that is thick and almost chunky, with very good lingering black pepper. The flavors are very nice and very sweet. I rated the first third 95.

Moving through the second third (41 minutes) the same notes were there but now there is much more black coffee. Of course, this takes away some of the sweet notes but the cigar is still quite good. The cigar is medium bodied, leaning toward medium to full. The finish is black coffee, brown sugar, hints of whipping cream, and very good lingering black pepper. The cigar has gotten a little darker. I rated the second third 93.

The cigar lasted 1 hour 6 minutes. All the notes are there, as they have been throughout, but now the cigar is what you would call balanced. The black coffee pulled back and the sweet notes came out. The brown sugar is now the lead sweet flavor followed closely by the citrus and whipping cream. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is a hint of whipping cream with a lot of brown sugar with very good lingering black pepper. This is not your typical cigar but if you're looking for something sweet this is it. I rated the final third 94. Priced at around $9 or $10 they are a must-try.

Overall Score: 94
