Renfield Remastered OGT Cigars Exclusive drops today, Monday, October 13th at 6pm pst/9pm est
What has been my favorite Halloween exclusive we have ever released is finally returning to Oak Glen Tobacconist, but in a new way! The same blend but a different vitola will haunt the OGT Society once again! Re-introducing the fan-favorite Renfield Cigar, however, this year’s iteration is known as ‘Renfield Remasted.’ We had gotten a lot of requests to bring Renfield back, and we didn’t want to until we got it perfectly right. The blend is so immortal that it has lived on since its inception in 2023. What makes this cigar so special? Let’s dive into it!
The original Renfield cigar was a 6.25×48 box-pressed ‘Thin Toro’, while the new Renfield Remastered is a 6×54 box-pressed Perfecto. I use the term Perfecto, a little loosely. While there is a taper on the head and foot of the cigar, the foot is somewhat subtle. The thicker ring gauge allows a heartier, fuller smoke in a classic favorite size. The blend remains the same with a dark, textured Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a Criollo 98 binder, and packed with a mix of Nicaraguan fillers. The combination is an absolute masterpiece, one of my favorite cigars that spotlights a broadleaf wrapper.
In terms of flavor notes, upon lighting up, there is a mixture of black pepper spice and dark cherry-like or dark fruit sweetness. This is followed by a sweet, bread note, perhaps sourdough, with deeper notes of oak, espresso, stone fruit, bread pudding, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and a finishing sweetness. The duality of forceful spice and complementing sweetness is an excellent balance. The cigar offers a wide range of flavors and complexity that really elevates the blend to a new level. It would be difficult for me to choose which size is my favorite, this new 6×54 Perfecto or the original 6.25×48 thin toro. They both have such an incredible experience; they are on another level.
The official launch of Renfield Remastered is today! We are dropping it Monday, October 13th at 6pm PST/9pm EST! However, it is important to note, this cigar is also our OGT Cigar Society blend for October! All members of the Society Cigar Of The Month Club will be receiving this cigar! If you are not a member, join now to secure your 5 or 10 pack! Whether you are a member or haven’t joined yet, this is a cigar to stock up on. With the number of requests we have received, it is finally returning, and this cigar shines as it ages! Speaking from experience, one to two years of age works really well on this blend!
