Black Star Line

When most cigar brands reach a seminal anniversary, they produce a cigar boasting about it. With Black Star Line Marun Toro 6 x 50, the only acknowledgement is in the title—Marun is the Yoruba word for 'five.' This understated boutique brand out of Chicago produced this Toro at the La Zona Cigar Factory, a Nicaraguan outfit that works closely with the famed Espinosa family. The blend features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and filler. Sweet tea, toasted bread, white pepper, and leather are among the cigar’s core flavors, paired with an instantly recognizable black band across an incredibly clean, tan body. The brand is turning heads everywhere, and with one light, the conviction to quality craftsmanship from retired Chicago firefighter Aric Bey becomes clear.
