PCA 2023: Nomos Cigars

Last year was the first time that Nomos Cigar exhibited at the PCA Convention & Trade Show, and while the company was showing off a cigar that shipped in 2021—the Nomos Toro—I was told then that there would be new releases for this year’s PCA Convention. That proved to be the case, as Nomos added two more vitolas to its Nomos line: a lonsdale and a robusto.

Although the Nomos booth was very similar to what I visited last year, the company added a large sign with the Nomos name and logo prominently displayed. In addition, I could not help but notice that compared to last year, there seemed to be quite a few more people in and around the booth every time I walked by.

The Nomos brand was founded by two lawyers from New York named Jerrold Miles and Corey Turner. According to Turner, the tobacco that is in each Nomos cigar includes Dominican seco that has been aged for eight years as well as Nicaragua criollo tobacco that has been aged for five years.

Nomos Lonsdale

Like the company’s debut release, the new Nomos Lonsdale was blended by Manuel Inoa, La Aurora’s master blender. The Lonsdale vitola features the smallest ring gauge in the line so far and is the only size sold in 20-count boxes.

  • Wrapper: Cameroon
  • Binder: Indonesia (Sumatra)
  • Filler: Dominican Republic & Nicaragua
  • Nomos Lonsdale (6 x 42) — $14.50 (Box of 20, $290)

Production: Regular Production

Release Date: July 2023

Nomos Robusto

As is the case with all of the company’s debut releases so far, the new Nomos Robusto was blended by Manuel Inoa, La Aurora’s master blender.

  • Wrapper: Cameroon
  • Binder: Indonesia (Sumatra)
  • Filler: Dominican Republic & Nicaragua
  • Nomos Robusto (5 x 50) — $14.25 (Box of 18, $290)

Production: Regular Production

Release Date: July 2023

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
