Emperors Cut Cigars has announced Prophecy, a new limited-production cigar created in collaboration with La Aurora master blender Manuel Inoa. The cigar is scheduled to begin shipping on August 1, 2026.

Prophecy is offered in a single 7 x 52 vitola and features an African Cameroon seed wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and a filler blend of Pennsylvania, Nicaraguan, and Dominican tobaccos.

The project marks another collaboration between Emperors Cut and one of the industry’s best-known blenders as the Houston-based company continues to expand its lineup of premium cigars.

“Prophecy is a manifestation of all we have learned and what we have strived to produce in a cigar,” said Darnell Streat, Managing Partner of Emperors Cut Cigars. “Every component of this blend was selected with purpose, resulting in a cigar that reflects our vision of premium craftsmanship and our commitment to delivering an exceptional smoking experience.”

Emperors Cut says Prophecy will be produced in limited quantities. The company has not yet announced pricing or packaging details. The cigar is expected to become available beginning August 1, 2026.
