Crux Marblehead

Jeff Haugen built the Crux Marblehead to be the cigar you reach for every single day. An Ecuadorian Colorado Habano wrapper covers a Nicaraguan and Indonesian core, all rolled at Tabacalera Páges in Estelí, a first-time collaboration for Crux. Medium in strength, it smokes clean and consistent from light to nub.

The flavor sits squarely in that sweet spot: dark cocoa on the front end, toasted cedar through the middle, and a finish of dried fruit and a mild kick of black pepper. Nothing sharp, nothing thin. At under ten bucks a stick, it's priced for everyday rotation and performs well above it. Stock up.
