Nutcracker 2024 Black Edition

A Bold Holiday Classic, Reinvented

At Blend and Bond, we live for cigars that tell a story—and Nutcracker 2024 Black Edition is a seasonal tale with a wicked twist. It’s our strongest, boldest Nutcracker to date, built to ignite the senses and leave you dreaming of sugarplums... and maybe whiskey barrels.

This 6x48 corona gorda is dressed in a triple-fermented, ultra-chocolatey San Andrés Maduro wrapper, layered over Nicaraguan binder and fillers aged 6 to 12 years—including a dose of our beloved Medio Tiempo ligero, the richest tobacco we know.

From the first spark, you’re hit with an avalanche of flavor: extra-dark chocolate, caramel, ancho chili, and buttercream frosting melt into cocoa, raw leather, hazelnut, and a warming note of whiskey barrel. The finish? Sweetened with brown sugar and just enough heat to keep things interesting.

As the cigar unfolds, the second third reveals a silky richness—heavy cream, roasted coffee bean, black peppercorn, and a pinch of nutmeg balance beautifully with milk chocolate and European-style butter, creating an indulgent, layered body.

The final third brings the grand finale: Tootsie Roll, candied almonds, custard, and red oak evolve into notes of cabernet wine, Vietnamese cinnamon, and clove. It’s a complex crescendo worthy of holiday nights and celebratory pours.

Nutcracker 2024 Black Edition isn’t just a winter release—it’s a full-bodied, full-strength statement cigar made for seasoned palates and unforgettable toasts. Whether you're lighting it up by the fire or gifting it to a fellow aficionado, this one’s destined to be a standout of the season.

Rare, bold, and unrelentingly flavorful—this Nutcracker is cracking all the rules.
