Cigar contest winners


A family-owned company with a passion for premium, small batch, boutique cigars – what’s not to love? This family also happens to produce said cigars at the ambitious La Zona factory in Estelí, Nicaragua (One of our favorites!). The close-knit, family atmosphere these companies have cultivated shows through in the products they create.

For Arandoza, that includes the good ol’ Red, White, and Blue! This was the theme behind the brand’s first 3 cigar lines, releasing the Nicaraguan Habano-wrapped Blue Label, full-bodied, Dark Habano-wrapped White Label, and the new Mexican San Andrés Maduro-wrapped Red Label cigars. As can be expected, coming from La Zona, all 3 cigars in the Arandoza lineup are well-constructed and FULL-flavored! (That’s kind of an understatement).

We’d like to note that brand owner Robert Arandoza recently recovered from a successful knee surgery, Cigar Dojo (and Cigar Dojo community) would like to wish him the best while enjoying some Arandoza cigars!

This week’s contest theme is: Enjoy the weekend!

It’s Friday at last! Let’s all kick back and enjoy the weekend. And while you’re out enjoying the fresh, spring air – tossing frisbees, grilling brats, and sipping on cold beers, we want to see you add a cigar to the mix and share what you’re doing on the Dojo!

Some examples of entries may be:

  • Take a cigar to the zoo! (is that legal?)
  • Smoke a victory cigar after a 5k
  • Show us your weekend fishing cigar
  • Go on a weekend hike (and bring the Dojo!)

Use #weekendWarrior with entries
