El Mago Cigars, A Must Try Cigar Brand

It’s been quite the weekend and start of the week! We are very grateful for the amazing response to our recent custom cigar! In case you haven’t heard, or maybe you have been living under a rock, we just released our Oak Glen Tobacconist 7th Anniversary Cigar called the El Mago Mage. This is a brilliant, limited 6×50 box press toro maduro crafted with a luscious Mexican San Andres wrapper over a Sumatra binder, and fillers from Nicaragua. I have received several questions about why we chose El Mago and how this project came together. I will tell you, this was one of the smoothest-sailing exclusives we have ever done in Oak Glen Tobacconist history!

We met El Mago Cigars’ owner, Nick Fusco, at the recent PCA trade show and immediately hit it off! His passion for cigars, packaging design, and blends completely impressed Mallory and me. From the get-go, we knew they would have a home at OGT Cigars! Not only did we bring El Mago Cigars to Oak Glen Tobacconist, but we also started talking about custom projects right then and there on the showroom floor. That was the beginning of what is now the OGT Cigars X El Mago Mage Cigar. We went through several iterations, even a Sumatra version. Nick and I both share a fondness for Sumatra and Nicaraguan Tobacco. But we both agreed the San Andres blend we have now was king!

What’s one of the aspects that impresses me so much about El Mago Cigars? The signature flavor. Whether it’s a Maduro, Cameroon, Sumatra, or even Connecticut Shade cigar, the blends coming out of the MGE Factory in Nicaragua have some sort of special sauce. There is a juicy, ‘unctuous’ quality that causes your palate to salivate, much like a sweeter blend or what you might find on a Corojo 99-dominant cigar. Furthermore, the balance, or should I say ’roundness,’ of the cigars demonstrates a complexity and maturity you don’t often find in new cigar brands. This is a company that not only has something to say with their packaging, but also their creations!

The El Mago Mage has officially become my August ‘binging’ cigar. I can’t seem to get enough of it! Yes, it’s our 7th Anniversary cigar, so yes, I am biased. But I sort of need to be. It would not be the official cigar to celebrate seven years if it wasn’t that good! This is also the cigar coming for all our OGT Cigar Society Club members. Not a member? Sign up now!
