Fellow Sovereigns of Smoke,
First off, thank you for being a part of the King of the Leaf Signature Tier—where the cigars are mighty, the vibes are elite, and the palates are spoiled (rightfully so). We don’t take your membership lightly—and in true royal fashion, we’ve assembled a lineup this month worthy of a coronation and a celebratory toast of barrel-aged bourbon.
Now, brace yourselves. August’s pack hits harder than your morning coffee—and leaves you wanting more. This isn’t just a selection…it’s a summoning of greatness from across the cigar realm. Five legends. Five flavor journeys. One box. Let’s break it down:
1. Isla del Cocodrilo by Warped
The island formerly known as Cuba’s spirit lives on in this rare gem. Wrapped in an Ecuadorian Habano Deflorada and packed with attitude, Isla del Cocodrilo slaps your palate with dried fruit, leather, cream, and a hit of spice that’ll make you double-check your birth certificate for a Cuban passport. It’s a crowd favorite for a reason—fast to sell out, slow to forget.
2. JFR Lunatic Torch by Aganorsa Leaf
Let’s get weird—in the best way. The shaggy foot on this lunatic means you start off smoking straight filler and binder before the wrapper joins the party. It’s like reverse-engineering a cigar. Once it kicks in fully, prepare for a peppery, nutty, woody rollercoaster with Estelí fire and Jalapa sweetness. Genius move by Aganorsa. Absolute flavor chaos.
3. The Wise Man Maduro by Foundation
A blend that could out-think your college philosophy professor. Wrapped in San Andrés Mexican dark magic, and rolled by the Garcia family at My Father Cigars, this smoke is rich, structured, and a little mysterious. Think black licorice, wood, and baking spice with an earthy undercurrent. A cigar that puffs like a proverb.
4. Mr. Sinistro by Sinistro Cigars
This cigar doesn’t whisper—it commands attention. Crafted with ligero from four regions and wrapped in a smooth Ecuadorian Habano, Mr. Sinistro offers a bold, full-bodied experience with rich notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and oak, balanced by a hint of black pepper. Perfect for those who appreciate a cigar with depth and character. Enjoy thoughtfully.
5. CAO Fasa Sombra
We wrap it up with something sleek, stylish, and totally unexpected. Fasa Sombra delivers creamy cedar, subtle sweetness, and toasted nuts wrapped in a complex Ecuadorian Habano Sombra with a Cameroon binder hiding beneath. It’s the kind of cigar that whispers sweet nothings and then hits you with a bassline of flavor you’ll be humming for hours.
So, here’s to you, dear fam. You’re not just getting cigars—you’re getting the best of what this beautiful, smokey world has to offer, handpicked by a crew who lives and breathes this stuff.
Until next month…may your ash stay long, your draws stay perfect, and your humidor stay full.

Isla del Cocodrilo - Warped
This month’s Signature Tier pack brings you a true standout: Isla del Cocodrilo by Warped Cigars—a cigar that captures the essence of Cuban heritage and artisanal craft in every draw. This release from Warped has become one of the brand’s most sought-after cigars—selling out quickly upon its debut and earning widespread praise across the industry. A true favorite among aficionados and insiders alike.
Handcrafted at Tabacalera La iSLA in the Dominican Republic under the eye of Kyle Gellis, this 5 1/2 x 46 Corona Gorda showcases a rare Ecuadorian Habano Deflorada wrapper—sourced for its depth, nuance, and rich character.
Expect a luxurious flavor profile with notes of dried fruit, cream, aged leather, oak, cedar, and a complex medley of spice, delivering an unforgettable, Cuba-inspired experience with a modern Warped twist.
JFR Lunatic Torch - Aganorsa Leaf
A standout in the pack, the JFR Lunatic Torch (6 1/2 x 52) by Aganorsa Leaf is a masterclass in Nicaraguan craftsmanship and innovation. Featuring a distinctive shaggy foot—where the wrapper is intentionally left off the first half-inch—this cigar invites you to experience the rich, raw flavor of the Estelí and Jalapa-grown fillers and double binders before transitioning into the full-bodied harmony of the blend.
Once the Corojo '99 wrapper from Jalapa joins the party, the cigar transforms into a smooth, savory profile layered with notes of roasted nuts, aged wood, and a gentle peppery spice. Bold yet refined, the Lunatic Torch is a rare chance to smoke a cigar from the inside out—and one that consistently earns high praise from seasoned smokers.
Mr Sinistro - Sinistro Cigars
Mr. Sinistro (5 1/2 x 54) is a bold and unapologetic full-bodied cigar crafted for seasoned aficionados who crave intensity, complexity, and character. Produced at the renowned Artista Cigars factory in the Dominican Republic, this standout blend showcases Sinistro’s signature edge and flair.
Expertly constructed, Mr. Sinistro features a dark and oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a hearty Pennsylvania Broadleaf binder, and a powerful blend of fillers from Paraguay and the Dominican Republic—including Dominican olor ligero, piloto cubano ligero, and corojo ligero. The result is a dynamic profile that balances strength with sophistication.
From the first light, expect deep and rich flavors of dark chocolate, espresso, and charred oak, layered with black pepper, earthy undertones, and a subtle touch of sweetness. Its slow and cool burn ensures each draw delivers evolving nuances from start to finish.
The Wise Man Maduro - Foundation Cigar Company
The Wise Man Maduro 5 1/2 x 50 is a blend steeped in cultural legacy and rich tobacco tradition. Inspired by the legendary lineage of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, this cigar pays tribute to their son Menelik, a symbol of wisdom and rulership. Foundation brings this storytelling to life through with flavor-forward blending.
Produced at the renowned My Father Cigars factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Wise Man Maduro is wrapped in a dark and oily San Andrés leaf from Mexico. Beneath lies a carefully selected combination of Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa—some of the finest growing regions in the country. The result is a medium-bodied profile that delivers deep complexity with refined balance.
Expect bold notes of wood, hickory, and earth up front, followed by a dark sweetness reminiscent of black licorice and baking spices. The construction and burn are as impeccable as the flavor transitions—building in richness while maintaining nuance and harmony.
Fasa Sombra – CAO
Rounding out this month’s Signature Tier is the bold and refined CAO Fasa Sombra 6x50 Toro—a standout blend that masterfully balances power and elegance. Wrapped in a luxurious Ecuadorian Habano Sombra leaf, this cigar takes its name from the distinctive wrapper that delivers both character and depth. Beneath, a rare Cameroon binder adds a touch of natural sweetness and spice, while the fillers—a blend of aged Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos—create a smooth, yet dynamic smoking experience.
From the first draw, Fasa Sombra unveils a layered flavor profile—earthy undertones, black pepper, and warm wood, accompanied by a subtle sweetness that lingers on the palate. The complexity builds without overwhelming, striking a perfect balance between full flavor and refined smoothness.
Expect a medium-bodied cigar that delivers rich notes of cedar, toasted nuts, and a creamy finish, with just enough peppery spice to keep your palate engaged. Whether you're a longtime CAO fan or discovering the brand anew, Fasa Sombra is a compelling addition to your humidor—and a fitting finale to this month’s exceptional lineup.
