Cigora’s Big Brand Sampler
Even if you aren’t a cigar smoker, there’s a very decent likelihood that you’ll be familiar with some of the biggest and most respected names in the space like Montecristo and Cohiba. The Cigora Big Brand Sampler features a hand-picked selection of sticks from eight of these established — and highly eminent — brands. Alongside Cohiba Red Dot and Montecristo White Series cigars, this sampler also contains other noteworthy stogies like a CAO Flathead v660, a Macanudo, and a Robusto from one of our personal favorite distilleries, Buffalo Trace. Featuring both smooth and full-bodied cigars, this eight-cigar sampler makes it abundantly clear why each of these respective brands have garnered the reputations that they have — and will more importantly have you nubbing in no time.
