Ferio Tego Cigars

For those who were fans of the Nat Sherman cigar company and were sad to see the company go when they shuttered their doors in 2020, former Nat Sherman employees Michael Herklots and Brendon Scott had other ideas that could keep the Nat Sherman ethos alive. They decided to buy the rights Nat Sherman’s top-rated portfolio, including Timeless Collection and, another one of our favorites, the Metropolitan Selection. Not only have they revived prior Nat Sherman brands, but they are also developing their own new lines under the flagship Ferio Tego brand and saw massive success with the release of the Ferio Tego Elegancia and Generoso.

“I’m proud of the way we were able to balance the need to maintain consistency with core products, while continuing to innovate with new offerings,” Herklots said in a press release upon the announcement of Ferio Tego’s arrival. “Ferio Tego will continue that commitment far into the future.”

Ferio Tego won numerous awards from some of the industry’s most revered publications, like Halfwheel and Cigar Dojo, for their fierce debut. Backed in distribution by the legendary Davidoff company, Ferio Tego is now recognized via their crest, the image of Hercules striking down the mighty Hydra. The name itself is a family motto of the Herklots family. The Timeless selection, the company’s best-selling line, now has four different offshoots, all of which have racked up a slew of 90-plus ratings. The Sterling is a rich and silky smoke that accentuates the cigar’s delectable Dominican fillers, whereas the Panamericana is one of the most unique full-bodied cigars on the market, highlighting Nicaraguan-grown tobacco seed from across central America. Prestige, which combines six tobaccos from three different countries and Supreme, one of the top-rated Nicaraguan puros on the market, have combined to make a dominant and instantly recognizable portfolio of cigars.

Summa, which was conceived and released two years after the Ferio Tego legacy began, became the company’s first regular line separate from the Sherman catalogue and showcased an instant ability to expand on the high-minded ideals of the Sherman company and create a work that is capable of standing firmly on its own two feet.

“The word summa means a ‘comprehensive work,’ a ‘summary or a synthesis of the body of work’ thus far. Ferio Tego Summa is a blend that embodies the diversity and complexity of the Ferio Tego portfolio,” Herklots wrote in a press release after Summa’s debut. “The Summa blend highlights the incredible trifecta of body, flavor and intensity…and maximizes those levels with wonderful balance.”

Summa is a combination of Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper, Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and filler tobacco from the Dominican Republic usher in an incredible flavor profile of roasted cashew, freshly baked bread, a pretzel-like saltiness and sweet cream underneath. Medium-bodied in strength, this cigar was instantly competitive as one of the most flavorful blends on the market regardless of category.

It is safe to say that Ferio Tego is the spiritual successor of Nat Sherman and aficionados everywhere should keep an eye out for what Herklots and Scott come up with next.
