Stallone Cigars And Our Exclusive Stallone Neigh Sayer

One of the most popular cigar brands here at Oak Glen Tobacconist is Tony Barrios’ Stallone Cigars. I feel like this is a boutique brand that is crafted for cigar smokers who love cigars. While the branding of the horse might seem strange to some, it is the seal of approval when it comes to great cigars. I have often heard people refer to the owner and blender of Stallone Cigars, Tony Barrios, as a tobacco genius. I am inclined to agree. Stallone Cigars is that brand that captures a rich, full-flavored experience steeped in Nicaraguan tobacco across the whole portfolio. There isn’t just one cigar from his brand that is good; his whole lineup is amazing!

Alongside Stallone Cigars’ core line, we have had the honor of releasing several exclusive projects with Tony. Our most recent was the Stallone Year of the Neigh Sayer. Neigh Sayer is crafted in a 5.5×54 box-pressed shaggy foot. It boasts a dark Sumatra wrapper. Its dark appearance is attributed to the high ligero priming of the leaf. For years, I’ve wanted to do a Sumatra project with Tony. I think he makes incredible Sumatra cigars, and it’s a wrapper we haven’t used with him before. Inside are several ligero leaves for strength. When Tony was blending this, I asked him to take a similar route to Midnight Ride: easy draw, strong smoke production, and full flavor and body. He did this in spades! This cigar is powerful, balanced, and rich in flavor.

At first, a whirlwind of pepper spice, leather, and sweetness hits. As the binder and fillers of the shaggy foot burn into the wrapper leaf, notes of coffee, black pepper, leather, molasses, baking spices, and a sweet finish linger. Bread notes of sourdough, gingersnap cookie, and black tea mingle in there somewhere, too. The intention of this cigar was for a Sumatra that hits hard in body, with medium-plus strength, and a transition from spicy notes to a balanced bass tone of sweetness and coffee hints. That is what Neigh Sayer delivers.

While we are mostly sold out of the Neigh Sayer, we do have a few left, and it is now available in our exclusive Stallone Cigars Lighter Sampler. This special pack includes 10 cigars: 9 from the Stallone Cigar portfolio and 1 aged exclusive. Each sampler includes a beautiful Stallone torch lighter. Check out this BANGER of a sampler and secure your Neigh Sayer, along with the rest of Stallone Cigars’ best blends. Look for it at OGT Cigars!
