Our team of cigar aficionados and connoisseurs have experienced almost every part of the cigar world around the globe. They know better than anyone how complicated cigar blends have become. Almost all cigars claiming to be from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, or Ecuador are actually rolled with tobacco derived from multiple different countries. This has created an overwhelming array of complex blends and sophisticated flavor profiles.

The Gold Standard isn’t intended to compete with these powerhouses. It was made with the goal of getting back to the real value of cigar appreciation. As a pure blend of 100% Dominican-grown tobacco, it offers a chance for cigar aficionados of any level to experience the true value at the heart of this now international currency.

Other cigars crafted by master blenders from different regions of the world have earned their fame fairly. And connoisseurs are right to appreciate the endless flavor profiles available today. Yet, a puro, indigenous blend made with the filler, binder and wrapper all from the same country of origin also has merit. The Gold Standard is a taste of authenticity, providing a moment of pure enjoyment without all the distractions.
