OGT Cigar Society Gets Shipped The Bleak Midwinter IV For March 2026

I am very excited to announce that, for the first time, our annual Bleak Midwinter cigar will be the March highlight for our Cigar of the Month Club, the OGT Cigar Society. Each year, we release a very limited amount; however, we have been unable to feature it in the membership until now! This newly released 5.5×56 Box-Pressed Belicoso is one of our most interesting, most complex versions to date, and it’s the perfect cigar for the membership! What makes it so special? It’s the combination of Brazilian Mata Fina and a Candela wrapper that creates the blend’s overall character! Not only do you save quite a bit as a member, but you also guarantee the release!

The original Bleak Midwinter was a 5×54 Torpedo, while the new Bleak Midwinter IV is a 5.5×56 box-pressed Belicoso. This is also a first: we have box pressed the cigar! The thicker ring gauge allows a heartier, fuller smoke in a bolder format. The blend, as I mentioned, has been updated slightly with a dark, textured Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper over a full Nicaraguan filler. The combination is an absolute masterpiece, one of my favorite cigars that spotlights a Mata Fina wrapper. At the foot and accented by a twist at the head, hints of candela contribute a sweet, creamy aspect.

Crafted exclusively for OGT Cigars, the Bleaker Midwinter IV is the perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. It is, and has always been our official Saint Patrick’s Day Cigar. The term Bleak Midwinter is a nod to two things: the first being a peripheral reference to the famed Netflix show. The second is a sign of the seasons changing from a dark, cold, some might say, bleak temperature to a warmer spring. I have said many times, in colder, crisper weather, my palate seems to turn to darker, maduro blends, and Bleak Midwinter does just that, but in a most impressive way! But I can’t help but notice the impressive sweetness at the light up of the candela foot.
