Apostate The Zarahemla

Named for the ancient city described in the Book of Mormon, Apostate The Zarahemla gives the brand a blend built around contrast, including dark Broadleaf richness, Cameroon warmth, and a filler recipe split between the Dominican Republic and Mexico. It also marks Apostate’s first box-pressed cigar, bringing a new shape to a portfolio already known for leaning into religious and historical references.

The cigar is rolled at Tabacalera Palma in the Dominican Republic in a box-pressed format. A Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper gives The Zarahemla its darker foundation, while the Cameroon binder adds a layer of spice and texture. Dominican and Mexican fillers round out the blend, giving the cigar enough body to support the wrapper without letting it become one-dimensional.

With The Zarahemla cigar, expect a medium to full-bodied profile of dark chocolate, cedar, roasted nuts, sweet spice, and lingering natural sweetness. The name gives the cigar its story, but the blend does the heavier lifting, offering hobbyists a gritty box-pressed Apostate release with a mix of new-world depth and old-world Cameroon character.
