Welcome to the November 2026 box for the OGT Cigar of the Month Club, the OGT Variety Club. November is a time when the air chills, Thanksgiving food is imminent, and the leaves change, much like my palate. This is when certain blends come to life when paired with seasonal beverages like apple cider, coffee, and, as some don’t want to admit, pumpkin spice lattes. We have several BANGER highlights in this month’s drop; two very special ones are our NEW Limited Exclusive Oversized Gobbler and the NEW Crowned Heads Las Calaveras Decimo 2026
I am very excited for this month’s lineup of amazing cigars! Featuring brands like Crowned Heads, Black Label Trading Company, Warped Cigars, El Mago, and the newest from the Shadow Factory! As I mentioned, the Oversized Gobbler is a highlight in this box. It is dark, full, and a monster of a vitola! We also wanted to include Crowned Heads’ hottest cigar of the season, hence the Decimo. And for anyone who has not experienced our Mage 7th Anniversary, made by El Mago Cigars, you are in for a treat. It’s currently in the running for my top cigar from OGT this year!

No. 1 – OGT X El Mago Cigars Exclusive The Mage Toro Box Press 6×50
PAIRING HINT – Black Tea or Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond
•Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés maduro
•Binder: Ecuadorian Sumatra
•Filler Nicaragua
•Undisclosed: From MGE Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
“Limited Edition. The El Mago Mage celebrates the Oak Glen Tobacconist Community’s seven-year anniversary. We launched it as our official anniversary cigar in August and as our first collaboration with El Mago Cigars. This cigar is so many things we have come to love with El Mago Cigars and the blends we look for. On the first light, there are intense notes of black pepper spice, chocolate brownie, leather, whiskey barrel spice, earth, charred oak, and light sweetness. One of El Mago’s signature expressions is this luscious, juicy quality that brings a salivation to your palate. It’s an incredible note underneath the flavors you experience, a quality I don’t often find in other blends. The El Mago Mage LE is a full-flavored, full-bodied, medium-plus strength blend that is both bold and refined, complex and rich.”
No. 2 – Crowned Heads Las Calaveras Decimo 2026 D54 5 7/8×54
•Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro
•Binder: Nicaragua
•Filler Nicaragua
•Undisclosed: Garcia Family from The My Father Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
“Limited Edition. While Crowned Heads releases a limited edition Las Calaveras each year, this one is very special. The original Decimo was first seen in 2024 as a 10th anniversary to the Las Calaveras blend. Many have been asking for it, so Jon Huber has brought it back! This brilliant blend features the talents of the Garcia family at My Father Cigars Factory! As Jon Huber says, “The response to Décimo two years ago was overwhelming. That blend is something special to the story of the Las Calaveras series as it harkens back to the original Las Calaveras EL 2014 blend, and we’re excited to expand the vitola options to give more Crowned Heads supporters the opportunity to experience Décimo.”

No. 3 – Shadow Factory Exclusive Oversized Gobbler Short Gordo 4.5×60
PAIRING HINT – Zacappa Rum Or Coffee With Hazelnut Creamer
•Wrapper: Undisclosed Maduro
•Binder: Nicaragua
•Filler Nicaragua
•Undisclosed: Undisclosed blender from the Shadow Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
“Limited Edition. Our first-ever Thanksgiving exclusive blend from the Shadow Factory, and this one is a MONSTER. Wrapped in a luscious, smooth but very dark Maduro wrapper, this is what we call the Oversized Gobbler. This cigar is meant to be enjoyed after that big Thanksgiving meal. You are stuffed from too much Turkey and great food; the best way to chase it is a ‘meaty ‘ feast of a blend like this one. While I don’t usually lean toward a 60 gauge, this blend really comes to life; it’s a cigar you can sink your teeth into! The official release will be on Black Friday; Variety members get to try it first!

newest cigar from Warped is remarkable, and we had to include it. This cigar comes in two sizes, and we chose the larger one, the Robusto, for the box. This new, dark take on the blend is crafted at the NACSA factory and uses a dark, textured Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over a selected Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Nicaragua. Warped Cloud Hopper Black is full-flavored and full-bodied, with medium-plus to full strength. Experience notes of light pepper spice, dark chocolate, dark roast coffee, alfalfa, backing spices, and soaked cedar.

No. 5 – Black Label Trading Company Lawless Toro 6×50
•Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano Rosado
•Binder: Nicaragua
•Filler Nicaragua
•Undisclosed: James Brown from Oveja Negra Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
“The Lawless is one of the pillars of the very impressive portfolio from Black Label Trading Company. Wrapped in a beautiful Habano Rosado wrapper, the Lawless cigar brings an intense experience of power and flavor, with deep notes of black pepper spice up front, moving into cinnamon and cedar, baking spice, cocoa, earth, and a touch of creamy sweetness on the back end.”
