Crux Epicure Habano

When Crux Cigars introduced the Epicure line in 2017, it marked a turning point for the brand, a shift toward sophistication that would reshape its entire portfolio. Following the success of the original Connecticut-wrapped Epicure and the Epicure Maduro, Crux completed the trilogy in 2023 with the Epicure Habano, a Nicaraguan puro that brings a new dimension to this acclaimed series.

Crafted at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Epicure Habano cigar shares the same Nicaraguan binder and filler core as its predecessors while introducing a Nicaraguan Habano seco wrapper—a first for the Crux portfolio. This contrasts with the original Epicure's Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and the Maduro's Mexican San Andrés leaf, offering a middle ground that balances smoothness with more assertive character.

Expect a medium-bodied smoke showcasing crisp flavors of walnut and toasted bread with a bright, clean finish. The Epicure Habano delivers the kind of polish and balance that earned the Epicure name its reputation, completing what founder Jeff Haugen calls the "Epicure trifecta." This newcomer holds its own alongside the veterans, offering enthusiasts a refined Nicaraguan experience that honors the line's distinguished legacy.
