In 2018, five men that met at LG Cigar Club in Los Gatos, Calif. began working on their own brand. A year later, Casa de Sueños debuted. That means 2024 marks the company’s fifth anniversary. And yes, there will be a fifth-anniversary cigar.
The new cigar is a 5 1/2 x 58 box-pressed robusto gordo that has a pigtail. It uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over a Dominican San Vicente binder and a filler blend that includes Dominican piloto cubano tobacco and other undisclosed leaves. Like the rest of the company’s cigars, this is made by De Los Reyes in the Dominican Republic.
The MSRP is set at $20 and production is limited to 300 boxes of 12 cigars. It will debut at the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place March 23-25 in Las Vegas.
Update — The cigar’s name is The 5th.
Ozhen Arsenous—who also owns LG Cigar Club—Don Araki, Patrick Diaz, Kerry Knight and Chris Olivares are the five men behind Casa de Sueños, which is Spanish for the house of dreams.
