At Small Batch, we’re blessed to have too many samplers. Sometimes, great samplers get lost in the mix due to the sheer number of packs on our website. As we work to refill the out of stock samplers, I wanted to highlight a few that you might’ve missed and never knew you wanted all along!
The X-Factor Pack: Barrel-Aged Cigars Sampler
Each of the cigars in this pack were finished in either bourbon, scotch, rum, or sherry casks! When you influence the tobacco with casks that previously held these liquors, there’s just an amazing amount of variety that you can create. Once upon a time, these influences were subtle but nowadays blenders are getting more and more aggressive with their barrel-aged blends.
You can read more about how each cigar was influenced by which cask here in our Top 5 Barrel-Aged Cigars article.
The Name Dropper Pack: Celebration Station Sampler
This sampler has several things going on for it: each cigar was created to celebrate a commemorative event, each cigar showcases incredible blending skills, and every one of them are worthy of being smoked with our own celebrations. Between all five of these cigars, blenders celebrated something like 227 years with us!
The Ladies Man Pack: Chocolate Town Sampler
What’s smoother than Ryan Gosling and more entertaining than Ryan Reynolds? Our Chocolate Town sampler! This pack explores the different chocolate tasting notes in a variety of cigars that each express themselves in complex ways. Like Iron Chef, the secret ingredient for these stogies is chocolate!
You can read more about the specific tasting notes of each cigar here in our 5 Cigars That Taste Like Chocolate article.
The Mad Scientist Pack: Nat/Mad Sampler
Is your curiosity piqued when you hear about a new cigar coming out with a maduro counterpart? This pack lets you smoke five different blends in both the natural and maduro expressions – for science! In some cases, only the wrapper was swapped to create an entirely new cigar experience. In others, a completely new blend was formulated to accompany the new maduro wrapper.
Read more about the cigars we chose as well as bit more about the blends here in our Maduro Throwdown article.
The Over Achiever Pack: MSRP Showdown Sampler
Every now and then, a cigar steps into the ring and punches above its weight class like a welterweight trying to throw down with a heavyweight Champ. This sampler pits cigars against each other like David and Goliath, showcasing Titans of the industry versus cigars that have some of our favorite attributes for less than half as much.
Learn more about the cigars we chose and the characteristics that the affordable alternatives display to make them contenders here in our MSRP Showdown article.
