Viaje Birthday Blend 2023 and Viaje Scotch Bonnet

Unfortunately not much is known about the official release of these two cigars; however, I will state what I do know. I hope this sheds light on these two awesome blends from Viaje Cigar Co. The concept of the Viaje Birthday Blend was first introduced in 2016, and it was the company’s founder, Andre Farkas, […]

Artesano Del Tobacco El Pulpo Toro Grande

It’s an exciting time to be a cigar smoker. I have said this a few times. Why? The volume of great cigars coming to market is impressive. While many old reliables bring consistency and flavor, many new cigars this year raise the bar. One such cigar is the newest line, the Artesano Del Tobacco El […]

Cigar Clowns Aftermath 2023

The official Cigar Clowns release for 2023 is here! Introducing the Cigar Clowns Aftermath. This rustic cigar is wrapped in a very textured Broadleaf wrapper. What type of Broadleaf? That remains a mystery. We do know that there is Nicaraguan and Dominican tobacco in this cigar. While the official release says a 6×50 Vitola, it […]

Aganorsa Elixir by Aganorsa Leaf and OGT Cigar Society

Finally, after long last, the search is over! It is no secret we here at OGT Cigars enjoy Aganorsa Leaf. Nearly every day, my first cigar has something to do with Aganorsa; whether it is their brand or another using their tobacco, there is something about Corojo 99 tobacco that pops with a good cup […]

Aganorsa Leaf Rare Leaf Reserve Maduro

The newest line from Aganorsa Leaf Cigars is coming soon to Oak Glen Tobacconist. Known for their success with Corojo 99 and Criollo 98 tobacco, Aganorsa is one of the industry’s biggest suppliers of Nicaraguan tobacco. The two tobaccos are hybrids of an original Corojo seed from Cuba and the primary ingredients in all their […]

Foundation Olmec Claro Box Pressed Toro

It is somewhat common to see San Andres Negro, or as we hear it said, Mexican San Andrea Maduro. Many cigars on the market use this dark, sweet, spicey wrapper. It blends well, it’s affordable and it seems to be a growing trend. However, as I understand it, during the boom of the 90s, San […]

Foundation Olmec Maduro

I have spoken many times about the talents of Nick Melillo and his blending style. In fact, before opening Oak Glen Tobacconist, Foundation Cigar Company was always one of my favorite brands I had stocked in my personal humidor. Regarding tobacco knowledge, Nick is a wealth of knowledge. And why not? The proof is in […]

Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano Toro by Espinosa Cigars and Guy Fieri

There have been many celebrity cigars in the past, and unfortunately, they don’t have the best reputation. Most of the time, it is just some famous person attaching their name to a cigar they rarely smoke. However, last year everything changed. While good celebrity cigars do exist, they are usually few and far between. But […]

Rojas Breakfast Tacos by Rojas Cigars

Noel Rojas, King of the Small Guage, is back with a new release for his portfolio. Known for his success with the Rojas Street Taco Barbacoa and Rojas Street Taco Carnitas, Rojas has expanded the line. Released during the TPE 2023 trade show, Noel rolled out his Breakfast Taco Trio – a 4.5×46 Petite Salamon […]

Artesano Del Tobacco Viva La Vida

Let’s talk about that jester, joker-looking cigar. Released initially as a one-off, the Artesano Del Tobacco Viva La Vida has always been an absolute favorite of mine. Originally it was distributed by AJ Fernandez and could not be purchased online. However, as Artesano Del Tobacco has grown, certain avenues have opened up! Now, the company […]
