This 5-pack is not a “try these once” sampler. These are the cigars I reached for again and again throughout the year. If it made this list, it is because I personally smoked a lot of them, reordered them, and never hesitated to light another. These were the sticks that stayed in rotation, not just showed up once and disappeared.

Every cigar in this pack proved itself through consistency, availability, and the simple fact that I kept choosing it over everything else.  Some I burned through by the handful, others became regular go-to picks when I wanted something I knew would deliver every single time. This pack represents what actually got smoked, not what just looked good on paper.

Included in the pack:
Stolen Throne – Castle 919
Hermanos De Armas – Veiled Mutiny Robusto
Catelli – Boxare Sumatra
Powstanie – Connecticut Justice
Oz Family – Karatoba

If you trust my palate and my time behind the counter, this pack is the shortcut. These cigars earned their spot the hard way by being smoked, restocked, and smoked again.
