This project is what happens when a sommelier’s obsessive palate connects with decades of high-level factory expertise at Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera. Instead of throwing random leaves together, these guys focus on layering distinct leaves to highlight their natural, raw depth. Every single stick is handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, pairing old-school methods with a few clever, modern twists. Connoisseurs get to explore different quantities and sizes tailored to how they want to light up. The flagship Anunnaki line pairs a Dominican wrapper with a Mexican San Andrés Negro binder and rich Dominican fillers. Hitting a balanced medium to medium-full profile, it tweaks the ring gauge and length to shift how the flavor hits your palate. Offerings span from single sticks up to 10-count boxes, running from the compact Ki 5 x 50 to the broader Anu 6 x 52. If you are short on time but refuse to compromise on flavor, five-count tins—available in 25-count box displays—pack that exact same heavy-hitting recipe into a compact footprint. Small-batch hunting gets even better with highly anticipated limited editions like the rare Sun & Moon project. Restricted to just 777 numbered boxes worldwide, this dual-blend concept packages two completely contrasting experiences inside a single 14-count box. Early hours belong to the Sun blend, which drops a bright, creamy profile at a mellow-to-medium strength using an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over barrel-aged Dominican filler. Once night falls, the Moon blend takes over, delivering a deeper, spicier medium-to-full character built on an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and a snappy Mexican binder. From these rare boxes to regular production shapes, this portfolio brings plenty of authentic shop talk to your next session. Shop JR Cigars to experience this award-nominated collaboration today.
