Jim Cook and the Cordoba & Morales team wanted to make a cigar that really feels like New York. New York is this super cool place that inspired many people to chase their dreams. They didn't just want to throw another cigar out there in a market already packed with choices. They wanted to make something special, something that shouts "New York" and speaks to the dreamer in all of us, the kind of dream that feels big but isn't out of reach.
So, they came up with the Empire Blend Reserve. It's not just any cigar; it's like a shoutout to New York's spirit of making big dreams seem possible for the regular person. It's become more than just something to smoke. It's a symbol that good stuff—real quality and a bit of luxury—doesn't have to cost a fortune. It's about making those "only in New York" dreams feel a bit more within your grasp, no matter who you are.
The Celestina is a cigar that is very near and dear to us and it smokes like a dream. On the first puff, that closed foot 3-year-old Ecuadorian Habano 2000 hits you immediately with spice and a medium to full experience that never backs off.

Our Platino is probably our most quirky cigar. This is a cigar inside of a cigar and we are not kidding! This is a medium-bodied slow burner with some spice, topped off with a little cream, some earth, and notes of coffee.
View CigarThe Empire Blend Pipe cigar features an exquisite wrapper combination of Ecuadorian Habano With Ecuadorian Connecticut or San Andreas Maduro With Ecuadorian Candela. Inside, a rich Nicaraguan binder and filler come together to craft a smoking experience that blends the complex flavors of premium pipe tobacco with the robustness of a finely rolled cigar.
