The latest drop from the LCA (Limited Cigar Association) is by far one of my most favorite. Since the beginning, when we first opened the doors to Oak Glen Tobacconist, Southern Draw has always been in our humidor. Robert and Sharon Holt have done an amazing job with their cigars. Working with tobacco legend AJ […]
Oak Glen Tobacconist has been a part of the Limited Cigar Association (LCA) since the beginning. The LCA is a subsidiary from the highly sought after cigar subscription Privada Cigar Club. The first stick we received was in the fall of 2020, the Death Bucket Cigar by Matt Booth. Since the first drop, we have […]
I am very excited to have the latest Privada Cigar Club / LCA release arrive at Oak Glen Tobacconist, even more excited it is a maduro. Typically that’s my wheelhouse. The last Maduro we received from LCA was the Paul Stulac El Nuevo Comienzo duo, and those smoked like a dream. This one seems equally […]
Oveja Negra Brands and Black Works Studios releases the latests limited for March 2021: The Hyena. Offered in two sizes, the corona 5 x 46 and Lonsdale 5.5 x 42, this slim beauty is sure to appeal to a wide audience.

The newest LCA release hits the shop on March 5th. This cigar is definitely one that has my attention. My palate tends to lean toward medium-plus to full, and either dark notes of coffee, espresso, cocoa, or something peppery, woodsy, and earth. That’s perhaps a long-winded way of saying I often prefer a kick in […]
Wrapper • Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade. Binder • Indonesia. Filler • Nicaraguan & Dominican. 5×50 Short Perfecto Roma Craft is no stranger to the OGT humidor, in fact, we are happy to say we are fortunate to carry most of their lines. Whether it’s the Cromagnon series, Intemperance, or even neanderthal, Roma Craft’s blends are rich, […]
Wrapper • Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade & Nicaraguan Maduro. Binder • Honduran. Filler • Honduran & Dominican. 6×50 Toro The only barber Pole in the OGT humidor- there is a reason for this; many barber poles are prone to burn awful or are flavorless. This one, however, normally has a better burning, better smoke, better taste. […]
I apologize; as much as I wish this was a review, it is not. The cigar in question, the Cigabon by Jochy Blanco, arrives next week. As I have told our regulars, I play fair, and I won’t try it until our official tasting night. However, it doesn’t mean I can speak on it. Jochy […]
Wrapper • Ecuador Habano. Binder • Cameroon . Filler • Nicaraguan. 6.5×52 Diademas (Figurado) This cigar is beautifully shaped, I believe it’s what he calls a Diademas. Tapered at both ends, it’s striking, to say the least. The wrapper is a medium, earthy brown, with faint, but visible veins. This is a Habano wrapper, which […]
Wrapper • Ecuadorian Corojo. Binder • Honduran. Filler • Nicaraguan. 6×60 Super Gordo At first sight, this 6×60 gargantuan offers a splendid shade of medium earthy brown. Its veins are visible, covered in a sprinkling of toothy bumps up and down the wrapper. The leaf that dresses this cigar is Cojo grown in Ecuador. The […]
