A yearly release that has been a popular St. Patrick’s Day classic since 2013, the Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole 2022 is a unique treat that you do not want to miss. In case you are unfamiliar, a barber pole cigar features two distinct wrappers that are intertwined up the length of the cigar in much the same way as a classic spinning barber’s pole.

The intricate barber’s pole design makes this style of cigar one of the most difficult to make, which factors into why the design is exceedingly rare. For the Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole 2022, it wears two top-quality Nicaraguan wrappers, a Nicaraguan Habano and a Nicaraguan Candela over an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and long fillers from Honduras and Panama.

The two wrappers add a ton of complexity to the profile, resulting in a rich medium-full bodied bouquet of zesty spice, leather, and nuts over layers of creamy sweetness. Made in small batches, the Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole 2022 is a fleeting experience worth any aficionado’s time.

St. Patrick’s Day occurs just before spring when plants and trees begin to bloom, and Southern Draw Cedrus Toro cigars are named after the wood used to age and house cigars for centuries, cedar.

Southern Draw Cedrus Toro is made with aged Dominican and Nicaraguan long fillers, a Nicaraguan Habano binder, and an Indonesian Sumatra wrapper. Flawlessly brought together by the skilled hands at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez, you will savor a refined medium-full bodied smoke with lush flavors of baking spices, earth, pepper, caramel, floral tones, and tons of cedar. A great late winter/early spring treat!

Inspired by a protest against a heavy tax against whiskey production just after the creation of our great nation, the RoMa Craft Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion 1794 McFarlane will spur a rebellious spirit this St. Patrick’s Day. Ireland has also famously rebelled against the British many times throughout history, something the United States and Ireland share and the basis for a lasting alliance.

To capture that rebellious spirit, this tasty cigar features a top-quality Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a rare Indonesian Besuki binder and long fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua formed into a unique figurado shape. With its tapered cap, its vibrant full-bodied flavors of red pepper, earth, cedar, coffee, leather, cocoa, and caramel will be focused onto the palate for a more impactful experience.

It is tradition to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day, and La Flor Dominicana puts on the finest green leaf with La Flor Dominicana Double Claro 50 cigars. La Flor Dominicana may be famous for its top-notch full-bodied offerings like Airbender and Double Ligero, but the Double Claro 50 dials it back to the mellow-medium range to show off La Flor Dominicana’s softer, more nuanced side.

A beautiful green Candela wrapper from Ecuador surrounds a sturdy Nicaraguan binder and long fillers from the Dominican Republic that have been aged to perfection. Although mellow-medium bodied, the Double Claro 50 serves up bright flavors of sweet floral tones, roasted nuts, coffee, spice, earth, cedar, and leather. This colorful green treat has a unique profile that will delight any aficionado’s palate.
