AUGUST '26 COTM

AUGUST 2026 CIGAR OF THE MONTH CLUB

August came to throw hands.

This month’s Cigar of the Month lineup is a five-cigar wrecking crew loaded with dark tobacco, big flavor, cult favorites, proven classics, and a couple of house blends you simply aren’t finding anywhere else.

We’ve got BLACK CUPCAKE, OLIVA MASTER BLENDS 3, JSK CRNA NOK, ROCKY PATEL THE EDGE, and CHICK MAGNET.

Translation: clear your schedule.

BLACK CUPCAKE (PRE-RELEASE!)

Dessert is served...and this thing is DARK CHOCOLATE OVERLOAD.

BLACK CUPCAKE is one of those blends that reminds us why we became cigar lunatics in the first place. Rich, dense, chocolatey and ridiculously satisfying, it pours out layers of dark cocoa, espresso, toasted nuts, earth and natural tobacco sweetness.

Think chocolate cupcake without the sprinkles and birthday candles. This one grew a beard, bought a motorcycle and started making questionable decisions.

OLIVA MASTER BLENDS 3

If you know, you KNOW.

The Oliva Master Blends 3 is arguably one of the most underrated cigars in the entire Oliva portfolio. Originally created using select tobaccos reserved for the Oliva family, MB3 combines a gorgeous Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan ligero fillers.

The result is classic old-school Nicaraguan goodness: dark chocolate, creamy coffee, earth, leather, spice and brown-sugar sweetness.

Rich. Refined. Powerful without being obnoxious.

There’s a reason cigar geeks keep coming back to this thing.

JSK CRNA NOK

Now things get weird.

And we mean that as the highest possible compliment.

Crna Nok comes from the wonderfully twisted minds at Jas Sum Kral, a brand that has never shown much interest in playing it safe. It’s bold, dark, complex and built for smokers who want something with some serious personality.

Expect a deep, savory profile with waves of earth, dark sweetness, pepper, espresso and spice rolling through the smoke.

ROCKY PATEL THE EDGE

There are cigars that come and go.

Then there are cigars that become institutions.

The Edge put Rocky Patel on a whole different level when it debuted, built around a simple idea: deliver a ton of premium tobacco, flavor and horsepower without attaching a ridiculous price tag.

More than two decades later, The Edge is still going strong.

This is the kind of cigar you light when you're not interested in overthinking anything. Earth, pepper, cocoa, wood and spice come charging out of the gate with that unmistakable Edge attitude.

CHICK MAGNET

Finally, we're closing August with one of our own creations...

CHICK MAGNET.

This blend was built around the kind of rich, balanced profile that makes you immediately reach into the humidor and wonder if you've got another one. Creamy sweetness, cocoa, roasted coffee, earth and warm spice come together in a ridiculously smooth, flavor-packed smoke.

FIVE CIGARS. ALL DAMN LEGENDARY!

August is exactly what the Cigar Federation COTM Club is supposed to be: exclusive stuff, legendary blends, boutique insanity and cigars we genuinely think you need to smoke.
