This month is an introduction to EGM Cigars. A high value non-yard gar line of cigars.
Thanks to Cigar Page, a fiver worth $180.00 can be yours by simply adding a comment.
Yes, you heard that right. These are $36 cigars. Wow.
The horrible maraschino cherry on top is I will also include a few Katman stickers and a Katman fridge magnet.
Leaf Stats:
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican
Size: 5.625 x 54 Laguito #5
Strength: Medium/Full
Price: $36.00 per cigar
Winner will be chosen using the random wheel of fortune. I will post it on October 6.
THE RULES:
1. Winners must live in the contiguous U.S.
2. YOU MUST PROVIDE YOUR FULL NAME IN YOUR COMMENT. IF YOU FORGET, OR DON’T PAY ATTENTION, YOUR ENTRY WON’T BE COUNTED. I AM NOT THE SHERIFF SO YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN.
3. One entry per person. Make it count.
6. Contest ends on October 5, 2026, at 11:00am CT.
7. Winner will be chosen randomly.
8. Good luck.
And whatever you do, don’t subscribe to my blog! Kidding. I don’t care. In three months, I’m chucking it in and retiring to a luxury island in the Strait of Hormuz.
Cigar Page recently began selling this boutique cigar that most of us can’t afford. But true to their mission, they have knocked $5 off per cigar. Of course, if you can afford $180 for a fiver, you probably don’t give a shit about discounts…or do you?
From EGM Cigars:
“Introducing Alexander Kraft Private Reserve by EGM Cigars: A distinguished extension of the celebrated, highly successful first collaboration between renowned entrepreneur & connoisseur Alexander Kraft and EGM Cigars. This edition continues the legacy of excellence established by their previous releases, crafted with in-depth know-how, meticulous precision, and long-standing passion for an outstanding smoking experience.
“The latest batch of Alexander Kraft Selection cigars has benefitted from further attention to create one of the best smoking experiences in the world, with the best value for money to be found anywhere in the world. The tobacco has undergone an even more stringent selection process as is evidenced in the beautiful, immaculate Connecticut wrappers which will delight any true cigar aficionado. The years-long aging process has been optimized to provide for an even more nuanced spectrum of flavors and a perfect burn and draw.
“Alexander Kraft Selection Cigars also feature pig tails which put in visible evidence the completely hand made nature of the Alexander Kraft Selection Cigars and gives them a little, unique twist in nowadays‘ cigar market. Naturally, it doesn’t alter the smoking experience in any way as the cut will take off the pigtail in any event. As a side-note, we might add that Mr. Kraft’s personal preference is a guillotine cut for an easy, powerful draw which enables him to savour all the nuanced flavours in an optimised matter. However, obviously all other cuts, like the V-cut favoured by Mr. Kraft‘s grandfather from whom he inherited his passion for cigars, or a punch cut can be used for these cigars.”

I feel like I was gifted access to your chronicled keen sense of taste, as it matches mine, while developing my obsession with cigars. Please be aware of how much you mean to so many smokers as you enter retirement. Peace be with you, brother.

Greetings, Katman! Your reviews and your angst will be missed. Over the years, you taught me to rest my cigars (amazing results) and to take a healthy pause between puffs. God bless. 🙏
