Making its debut at the PCA Convention & Trade Show 2025 in New Orleans, Outcast Cigars, is a brand built for those who defy the norm, embrace boldness, and live on their own terms.
The Outcast Cigar is crafted with a rebellious spirit and an eye for the uncommon. The blend is described as:
- Wrapper – rare Brazilian Cubra wrapper, a hybrid of Cuban-seed Corojo (often called Brazilian Habano)
- Binder – Spicy Ecuadorian Sumatra
- Filler – Premium Dominican filler
The company does note that there is a slight bit of pipe tobacco in the blend also which, together with the cigar leaf, results in a cigar that is a complex, smooth, and unforgettable smoke with notes of cedar, hay, and chocolate.
Jason Wood Vice-President of Sales & Marketing at Miami Cigar & Co. said:
“We created this cigar for those who defy the norm and embrace the journey less traveled. Outcast Cigars forges its own path—bold, unapologetic, and destined for greatness. Outcast Cigars isn’t just a smoke; it’s a statement.”
Outcast Cigars will be available in four bold sizes, each packaged in sleek 10-count boxes:
- Robusto (5 × 50) – MSRP $10.50
- Corona Gorda (6 × 47) – MSRP $11.50
- Toro (5.5 × 54) – MSRP $11.50
- Gran Toro (6 × 58) – MSRP $12.50
For this review, I sampled 3 of the Outcast Robustos which I received from the company for the purpose of reviewing on Stogie Press.
Pre-Light Examination
The Outcast cigar is draped in a dark brown and slightly marbled wrapper. It exhibits an oil over its slightly rugged look with noticeable veins and a few bumps throughout the barrel. The packing is firm with no noticeable soft spots and is finished with a simple sweet tip cap.
Two Bands adorn the cigar. The primary band is bright yellow and black, boldly displaying the company logo (black panther) and the words OUTCAST CIGARS encircled around it. The band also states on the left side, “Be Unique Be Yourself Outcast”. There is also a secondary black footer band.
Running the cigar along the nose, the first thing you will notice is the rich chocolate notes off the barrel and foot. Even if you don’t like infused cigar, this is one you may want to pay attention to.
I sliced the cap straight across the shoulder of the cigar and proceeded to give it some cold draw puffs that offered sweet chocolate notes with a growing peppery spice in the background.
Using my dual flame torch, I warmed the Outcast to an even orange glow as I drew in buttery chocolate notes to start the journey. Follow along as I break this one down.
Cigar Review Notes
- Buttery chocolate starts the journey
- The burn is good with a solid white ash developing on a thin mildly wavy char line
- A little spice appears on the retrohale
- After an inch of burn the infusion level begins to tone down as slight woody notes join the early profile
- The draw is smooth and the smoke is mouth filling
- The ash dropped in an excellent chunk revealing a well formed burn cone
- Natural tobacco notes enter in the second third with just mildly infused chocolate aromas
- Unlike other infused cigars, there is no pastiness on the palate
- The peppery spice intensifies deep in the second third
- Mild vanilla notes getting close to final third
- Dark Chocolate and earthy notes in the final
- Medium plus in strength
- Total Smoking time was 1 hour and 20 minutes
Final Analysis
The Outcast Cigar delivers a surprisingly refined and balanced experience for such a blend. The opening buttery chocolate note draws you in immediately, but it never overwhelms the palate. Instead, the flavor eases into a well-orchestrated mix of cocoa, wood, and spice that keeps your attention from start to finish.
What makes this blend stand out is how it respects the tobacco — the pipe tobacco enhances rather than dominates. There’s no syrupy or artificial aftertaste, and no cloying film left behind on the tongue, something that sets it apart from the pack. The natural tobacco essence builds steadily as the sweetness softens, creating a smooth, evolving journey that rewards slow puffing. This is worth grabbing a fiver of to add to your rotation for something different.
