A four-cigar flight built around Arturo Fuente's new Black Pink Signature — the 6 x 46 figurado from the Vintage 1960's Series — paired with Nick Melillo's Aksum Maduro Robusto, a Fuente Chateau Maduro, and El Titan de Bronze's Miami-rolled Redemption Corona Gorda. Available only at Tinder Box Haverford.
This sampler is anchored by the Signature vitola of Fuente's brand-new Black Pink installment and surrounded by three maduro-forward and darker-wrapper companions — three distinct houses, three distinct maduros, one well-structured flight from Dominican to Nicaraguan to Little Havana construction.
What's in the Pack
1. Arturo Fuente Black Pink Signature
The Signature vitola from Fuente's new Black Pink Vintage 1960's Series — the darker, fuller follow-up to the Rare Pink line. A 6 x 46 figurado wrapped in dark Connecticut Habano, hand-rolled at Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic, and dressed in the series' signature band. Full-bodied, allocation-only, and part of the limited lineup that debuted at PCA 2025 as the second installment of the Vintage 1960's series.
2. Foundation Aksum Maduro Robusto
Nicholas Melillo's tribute to the ancient Aksumite Kingdom of Ethiopia, hand-rolled at AJ Fernandez's Tabacalera Fernandez in Nicaragua. The Maduro expression wears an Ecuadorian Sumatra Maduro wrapper over a Connecticut Broadleaf binder, with Nicaraguan fillers drawn from Estelí and Jalapa. A 5 x 50 Robusto that leans into the darker end of Aksum's dual-expression range — richer, denser, and more cocoa-forward than the Claro side of the same blend.
3. Arturo Fuente Chateau Maduro
The maduro expression of Fuente's workhorse Chateau Fuente line — a 4⅝ x 50 classic Robusto in a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper over aged Dominican binder and filler. Hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic and finished in Fuente's signature cedar sleeve, the Chateau Maduro brings mellow-to-medium construction with cocoa, toasted nuts, and gentle spice — the Fuente factory's accessible daily driver, wrapped in dark leaf.
4. El Titan de Bronze Redemption Corona Gorda
From Sandy Cobas's Little Havana factory in Miami — the only cigar in this pack rolled on U.S. soil. The Redemption is El Titan de Bronze's General Cigar-distributed national release, bringing the shop's Level 9 Cuban-trained torcedores to a wider audience. A 5⅝ x 46 Corona Gorda wrapped in Sun-Grown Ecuadorian Habano, over Nicaraguan Estelí binder and Nicaraguan Estelí + Jalapa filler, hand-finished in the traditional Cuban entubado style.
Why This Pack
Four cigars, three distinct maduros, three different countries of construction (Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and the United States). The flight pairs Fuente's full-bodied Black Pink Signature with three complementary wrapper traditions — Aksum's Ecuadorian Sumatra Maduro, Chateau's Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro, and Redemption's Sun-Grown Ecuadorian Habano — giving you a hands-on survey of how different premium houses approach darker, richer construction. Each pairs cleanly with the darker whiskies and coffee drinks the season brings.
