KOTL Cigar of the Month Club April 2025

KOTL Cigar of the Month Club April 2025

Greetings to Our Union of Aficionados,

To our cherished members—those who’ve been with us for months or even over a year now—we salute you. We hope you’ve been enjoying each month’s hand-curated offerings. Behind the scenes, we continue to hustle hard, tracking down the rarest, most collectible cigars to keep your humidor stocked with the good stuff.

But as our empire grows at a rapid pace, challenges naturally arise. We've had a few infiltrators—folks signing up for just one pack, then canceling immediately after. That kind of behavior goes against the spirit and terms of the club. These monthly packs aren’t one-time freebies—they’re exclusive curations crafted specifically for our committed members. We’ve identified those individuals and have permanently banned them from returning. Our packs are in high demand, yes—but they belong to you, our loyal union.

Now, onto the good stuff…

This month’s drop is nothing short of excellent. In fact, it’s exceptional. We’re including six cigars instead of the usual five—a special treat long-time members know pops up from time to time.

KOTL’s exclusive cigar, Love Hurts, originally intended for our February Valentine’s pack, is finally here. Delayed by factory and customs hurdles, it’s made its way into April's lineup. This refined blend from last year, aged over a year and condensed into a bold 5x50 vitola, is an absolute powerhouse. A true gem that was worth the wait.

Even better? Four of this month’s six cigars are limited editions. That’s serious value and serious flavor. Were talking The Crowned Heads, Room 101, Sinistro Limiteds! Get the detailed information on all included cigars below.

And don’t forget—at the end of this page, you’ll find this month’s exclusive secret word, unlocking a 15% discount code valid at both cigardagger.com and kingoftheleaf.com all month long. We’ve noticed a lot of members aren’t using their codes when checking out—don’t miss out on one of your core benefits!

Be sure to follow us on Instagram, share your box reveals, post your smoking experiences, and tag us or collaborate—we love seeing our community in action.

And always remember…

We are ALL Kings of the Leaf!




ROOM 101 15TH ANNIVERSARY KING OF THE LEAF CIGAR CLUB

ROOM 101 - 15th Anniversary Limited Edition

A milestone moment deserves a memorable cigar—and Room101 delivers with the release of the Room101 15th Anniversary, a bold 6x52 Nicaraguan puro crafted by none other than AJ Fernandez.

Limited to just 2,000 boxes, this exclusive release continues the brand's celebrated anniversary series, following in the footsteps of previous hits like the 10th, 12th, 13th, and 14th Anniversary editions.

In classic Room101 fashion, Matt Booth playfully compared this release to a Quinceañera—a spirited celebration of legacy, growth, and transformation. This cigar embodies that energy, representing both a nod to Room101’s roots and a step toward a vibrant future.

Crafted entirely of Nicaraguan tobaccos and packed with rich complexity, the 15th Anniversary is a collector’s must-have and a smoker’s delight.

Brace yourself—Juarez is back. The Crowned Heads delivers a powerhouse with the Juárez Bulldozer LE 2025, a bold, box-pressed 5 1/2 x 58 Gordo crowned with a pigtail cap.

This limited edition is crafted to elevate the Juárez experience with a richer, deeper, and more intense flavor profile.Wrapped in a dark Mexican San Andrés leaf and bound with Ecuadorian Sumatra, the blend takes a daring twist with the addition of Mexican filler tobaccos—a departure from the core Juárez line. Combined with Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers, the result is a full-bodied, flavor-forward cigar designed for seasoned palates who crave complexity and strength.

Limited to just 1,500 boxes of 12, the Bulldozer LE 2025 is the first limited Juárez release since 2022’s "Shots." But this time, Crowned Heads went big—literally.

Co-founder Jon Huber explains, “We wanted a big-bang, flavor-forward profile to match the hefty 58 ring gauge... so we amped up the original blend, box-pressed it, and finished it with a pigtail.”If you’re a fan of Juárez or simply looking for a limited edition that hits with authority, this is a must-smoke.

SANCHO PANZA EXTRA CHIDO KING OF THE LEAF CIGAR CLUB

SANCHO PANZA - Extra Chido

Bold, flavorful, and undeniably smooth—Sancho Panza Extra Chido is crafted for those who crave a cigar that stands apart from the rest. "Extra Chido" is Spanish slang for “extra cool,” and this cigar lives up to the name with a standout blend that’s as refined as it is robust.

Developed by renowned cigar makers Matt Booth and Justin Andrews, the blend features a rich Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and a distinctive filler blend of Dominican Piloto seco and ligero tobaccos aged in tercios—a traditional aging method using royal palm leaves to enhance depth and complexity.

From first light, expect a vibrant and complex flavor profile—with prominent notes of cedar, leather, and a touch of spice, delivering a medium-to-full-bodied experience that’s both smooth and satisfying.
