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.
Our first cigar, the 19th Hole features a well-aged dark maduro wrapper. The Nicaraguan filler and binder mingle with this Ecuadorian wrapper to create a medium smoke with a hint of spice, complimented by notes of cocoa and nutmeg.

The Front 9 is a medium-bodied cigar with loads of spice and black pepper. The spice backs off after the first inch or so and is replaced with a complex intermingling of nuts, wood, and black tea.
