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.
This full-bodied smoke is a Nicaraguan bombshell wrapped in lush a San Andreas maduro leaf. Most enjoyed by the seasoned veteran smoker, flavors of rich dark chocolate, nut, dark roasted coffee, and spice make for a combination similar to a Mexican hot chocolate.
View CigarOur Finca Santa Fe is one of our most loved cigars and the Finca Santa Fe Maduro is just as aromatic as the Original, with a lot more spice and strength. The spice is subdued by notes of cream, cocoa, and earth. This is a cigar that'll pair perfectly with any scotch or even a dark beer.
