I am so excited for this month’s OGT Cigar Society drop! As some know, each month we send out a 5 pack of an exclusive blend or size, sometimes even a limited cigar that is extra special. We smoke it all together on the Oak Glen Tobacconist youtube channel every first Wednesday of the month, at 6pm pst/9pm est. This month’s drop is incredible. Last year we sent out the Dissident Home 2023 made at the Oveja Negra Factory in Nicaragua. The Home was so popular it was voted into our top ten list of 2023. This year, we are following up the cigar’s success with something even more limited than the last, and possibly even richer in flavor. Introducing the Dissident Heretic 6.5×46 Corona Larga Box Press.
This dark barber pole demonstrates the craftsmanship, artistic quality, and incredible flavor both Dissident Cigars and Oveja Negra Factory are capable of. The blend uses a dark Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper coupled with a Rohiso leaf, similar to the event only Black Works Studio NBK Lizard King. Underneath is an Ecuadorian binder and fillers from Nicaragua. Strength wise, it’s a solid medium plus with deep notes of rich leather, earthiness, cream, nuts, dark roast coffee, light pepper, and chocolate. What makes this so limited? Good question, I’ll let owner and blender Cynn Coburn tell you.
“Paying homage to my roots, having a Midwest-exclusive cigar is important to me.” Says Cynn. “From Detroit to Flint, Michigan and small town, Iowa, these places all play a vital role in who I am today. Resilience, perseverance, strength and personal sovereignty run deep in my blood as they do in these cities and states. I go against the grain and choose to see with my own eyes. The Midwest exclusive HERETIC was launched at Iowa Cigar Company and will be available to all supporting Midwest retailers.”
In essence, the Dissident Heretic is an event only cigar and only found in the Midwest. To obtain this blend, you would have to visit a Cigar shop in one of the midwest states that carries Dissident Cigars, attend an event and gain access. Well, Cynn and Josh love the OGT Cigar Society community, and we were able to secure the Dissident Heretic Cigar for all our members! Join the OGT Cigar Society and get a five pack of this incredible cigar! But here comes the fun part: Josh and Cynn are going to be live with us on the show, May 1st at 6pm pst/9pm est! Everyone who is a member of the Society will get a raffle ticket and we will be giving away a 5 pack of Dissident Cigars!
Don’t miss this incredible limited cigar and join the OGT Cigar Society! The Dissident Heretic was easily one of my favorites at the PCA Trade Show. It wasn’t easy securing this cigar for our members and I am so happy we were able to make it happen! The heretic will be shipping out next week, don’t miss it!
