OZ Family Maracana Brazil Releases From Ozgener Family Cigars

Perhaps one of the best-known cigars in the industry is the CAO Brazilia. Known for its full flavor and favorable price point, the cigar has built a respected reputation. But did you know it was originally blended by Tim Ozgener of Ozgener Family Cigars? He sold the brand CAO to General Cigar many years ago. Now that Tim has returned to the industry, he has created an ode to the famous Brazilia, and it has now been added to the Oz Family Cigars portfolio! This cigar is more powerful in body but uses incredibly aged tobaccos to accomplish the mission. Showcased at the PCA tradeshow, let me introduce you to the new OZ Family Maracana! This is a cigar that blends tradition, nostalgia, and modern craftsmanship into one memorable smoking experience.

Tim Ozgener is one of the most respected names in the premium cigar industry; this new release pays tribute to the rich character of Brazilian tobacco while introducing a fresh blend for today’s cigar smokers. For fans of bold flavors and expertly crafted cigars, the Maracana Cigar is a release worth exploring.

Before launching OZ Family Cigars, Tim Ozgener helped create some of the most iconic blends of the early 2000s. With the Maracana, he revisits his passion for Brazilian-wrapped cigars while putting a modern spin on the concept. The Oz Family Maracana is named after the legendary Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, one of the most famous soccer venues in the world. Produced at My Father Cigars Honduras, the project also marks the first time the García family has worked with a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper, making this release especially unique.

The OZ Family Maracana features a dark Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper over a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan binders and fillers. The result is a rich, medium-to-full-bodied profile with a peppery start, followed by notes of fig, cocoa, espresso, garden soil, cedar, and natural sweetness. As the cigar progresses, flavors of roasted nuts, black pepper, and subtle baking spices begin to emerge, creating a balanced and engaging smoking experience. The combination of Brazilian richness and Central American complexity gives the cigar a distinctive character that keeps you coming back for another draw.

Available in several box-pressed vitolas, including Robusto, Robusto Extra, Gordo, and Toro, the OZ Family Maracana is truly a special release. Whether you’re a longtime follower of OZ Family Cigars or discovering the brand for the first time, this blend showcases the craftsmanship, creativity, and attention to detail. Don’t miss the new Maracan cigar, a blend brimming with rich flavor, a great story, and plenty of personality. The OZ Family Maracana is not to be missed!
