Escobar Ultra Black

The Escobar Maduro cigar stands for rich flavour, creamy texture and modern boutique quality. The blend is based on a dark, oily Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos - a combination that has been finely balanced by master blender AJ Fernandez. The palate is characterised by dark chocolate, espresso and subtle pepper spice, elegantly cushioned by cedar and a fine, natural sweetness. Anyone looking for a characterful yet pleasantly round Escobar Maduro cigar will find a reliable go-to smoke for after work, bar or espresso moments.

Strong & creamy - modern maduro

From the very first puffs, the Escobar Maduro delivers dense, velvety smoke and a clear structure. The strength is in the medium to medium-strong range: enough pressure, without sharpness. Cocoa, coffee, dark fruit and a hint of BBQ spice are evident, but always remain harmoniously integrated. This makes the Escobar Maduro cigar ideal for aficionados who appreciate depth and balance - whether enjoyed on its own or with espresso, dark chocolate or a mature rum.

Robusto & Corona - flexible enjoyment time

The line is available in popular formats such as Robusto 5 × 50 and Corona 5 × 42. Both sizes unfold the maduro profile quickly and evenly, offer a rich smoke volume and are comfortable to hold. Depending on the market, there are box options with 20 or 25 cigars; the selection allows both sampling and stocking up for the humidor. The Escobar Maduro cigar therefore fits effortlessly into both short and long windows of enjoyment.

Origin & development - AJ Fernandez x Nas

The current core line of Escobar Cigars - Connecticut, Habano, Maduro - was relaunched in 2024 in collaboration with AJ Fernandez. Music icon Nas has been a co-owner of the brand since 2021, which has brought Escobar additional attention and reach. Production takes place in Estelí (Nicaragua); the result is consistent premium cigars with a modern signature and reliable quality - exactly what makes the Escobar Maduro so attractive in everyday life and on special occasions.
