Ozgener Family Cigars Karatoba

Ozgener Family Cigars has a new release on the block, and by far, I think it’s his best! And to top even that, it’s his lowest price point! There’s something special about a cigar that captures your attention right from the first light—and refuses to let go. That’s exactly what Karatoba from Oz Family Cigars sets out to do. It’s bold, complex, and layered in a way that invites you to slow down and savor every inch. If you’re looking for a cigar that delivers both punch and finesse, Karatoba more than delivers.

Ozgener Family Cigars Karatoba is the fourth release from Tim Ozgener’s growing portfolio. Made in collaboration with Tabacalera Pichardo, Karatoba was created to stand out. “The cigar opens big,” Ozgener explains, “and evolves into a rich, lush profile that I can only describe as having the essence of a hearty, well-seasoned bolognese sauce, with a maple-syrup finish.” It’s a blend designed not just to impress, but to take you on a flavorful journey that keeps your palate engaged from start to finish.

In terms of flavor notes, the Karatoba Cigar begins with a hit of light pepper spice, followed by deep notes of roasted walnut, cocoa powder, and medium roast coffee. As the cigar progresses, subtle layers of toffee, a touch of earthiness, and faint vegetal tones start to emerge. The profile stays rich and smooth, balanced by a lasting sweetness on the finish. It’s wrapped in a dark, oily Sumatra leaf, with a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from both Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic—each component aged and blended with intention.

Since rejoining the Crowned Heads family in distribution, Ozgener Family Cigars have hit the ground running! Karatoba is available now at OGT Cigars in limited quantities. Whether you’re already a fan of the full portfolio or discovering them for the first time, this release is a must-try. A true connoisseur’s smoke, Ozgener Family Cigars Karatoba delivers big flavor with a refined edge—and it’s waiting for you to experience it.
