Cinco De Mayo is a great holiday, isn’t it? The perfect excuse to enjoy some delicious Mexican food, all the better if you get it from a local Mexican joint. Now I’m sure people who know more about pairing cigars than me can recommend the perfect cigar to go with the spices that Mexican food has to offer. Me? I’m just going to keep that very simple.
As always you can check out all the top new cigars here. Let’s get into it.
Rojas Street Tacos Cinco De Mayo 2025
Wrapper: Ecuador Habano
Binder: Mexican San Andres
Filler: Nicaraguan & US Connecticut Broadleaf
If you wanna talk about some hot off the press stuff, Rojas’ Cinco De Mayo blend is one that I and many other enthusiasts have been looking forward to all year. Street Tacos is a mouthwatering line that truly elicits the food it’s named after and Cinco De Mayo 2025 joins among its ranks. The Connecticut fillers in this blend have been aged for 7 years, and it adds to this profile that lives up to the hype surrounding it. These delicious flavors of pepper, wood, and meat give this smoky and zesty taste that’s hard to beat. There’s a real chance that by the time you see this, they’re already out the door so if you’re of the lucky few who have the opportunity to pick these up, don’t delay even a second.

Topper 1894
Wrapper: PA Habano
Binder: Undisclosed
Filler: Dominican Broadleaf
Another limited-edition blend, this one being 130 years in the making. Topper 1894 stands out for its rare Habano seeds that are grown in Sugar Valley, PA. This cigar is all about legacy, and it’s a mixture that wears that badge with pride. A delicious blend of pepper, cedar, and almond play nicely in a complex package with rich, chewy smoke that really satisfies the palate. So, pick up a blend that’s 130 years in the making and catch it before it’s gone.
Chillin Moose Too
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
The Moose is back. They’ve come back with another smooth, budget-friendly offering. This acts as a perfect companion for the OG Moose. This one adds a bit more intensity and complexity to the Moose’s chill. The blend has this gorgeous dark color with an oily wrapper, and offers a balanced blend with cocoa, spice and this creamy note that satisfies the palate nicely. The Moose is back, and if you know anything about the moose before, you’ll know that this isn’t a blend you’re going to want to sit on.
