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 Empire Maduro Blend is a medium-full-strength cigar featuring a San Andreas Maduro wrapper, Sumatra binder, and filler from Jalapa and Esteli, Nicaragua. It’s available in Maduro size with 5, 10, or 20-count purchase options. This blend aims to offer a balanced and robust smoking experience.

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.

Our Cuban Porrón got its name because of its unique double figurado shape, similar to the pointed spout of a porrón used for communal wine drinking. The pleasant aroma of this cigar is apparent from the very beginning. You'll taste notes of hay, leather, and cream.
