June 2026 King of the Leaf Cigar Club
Welcome to the New King of the Leaf Monthly Blog Format
This month marks a few exciting changes to the King of the Leaf Cigar Club experience.
First, we've combined both the Signature Tier and Grand Tier into a single monthly blog post. Previously, our monthly blog focused only on the Signature Tier, but moving forward, members of both tiers will find all of their monthly cigar information right here in one convenient place.
We've also upgraded the information cards included in your monthly shipment. Both tiers now receive a postcard-style insert. One side features all of the cigars included in your pack, while the reverse side provides basic information such as the cigar name and vitola size.
Most importantly, you'll now find a QR code on the card that links directly to this monthly blog post. Here, we can go beyond the basics and provide additional details about each cigar, including blend information, factory origins, tasting notes, and the stories behind some of the cigars you've received.
Don't toss that card! Each month's insert contains the Members-Only Code Word, which unlocks your lifetime 15% member discount on both KingoftheLeaf.com and CigarDagger.com. There are no restrictions on the discount, and the code changes every month, so be sure to keep your cards handy. Consider them part cigar guide, part membership passport. đŸ‘‘đŸ”¥
Finally, because we ship our monthly packs during the first few days of each month, we wanted to make sure our members had their patriotic smokes in hand before Independence Day. Rather than including our Fourth of July celebratory cigars in July's shipment, we've included them in June's pack so you'll be ready when the fireworks begin.
And yes... once again, Signature members are receiving SIX cigars this month.
Let's dive in.
