Epoca was originally a Nat Sherman brand circulating during the 1920s Prohibition era. In fact it was their first cigar brand.
With attention to detail, this Epoca Reserva was renamed and relaunched in 2019, but retains its original blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers, a Dominican binder, and a Dominican wrapper leaf. There’s no doubt, the addition of more Nicaraguan leaf makes the cigar stronger and more intense than the original blend. This newer version possesses a mild to medium-bodied strength and and interesting flavor notes highlighted by the pronounced taste of roasted nuts, leather and citrus zest.
We don’t know how long these cigars will be around, but we have them now. Here’s your chance to enjoy one of this country’s most iconic brands from a legendary company.

Leaf by Oscar’s Island Jim is certainly one of the most unique offerings from this renowned cigar maker.
This masterfully crafted Torpedo sized cigar is made in two two blends. With attention to detail, each one yields a very flavorful medium bodied smoking experience. Both contain vintage Honduran fillers and binder leaves. It’s the choice of wrappers that make things very interesting. Pick the Nicaraguan Jalapa one and you’ll taste that Nicaraguan signature of underlying strength. Choose the San Andres version and you get a Ecuadorian Grown Connecticut leaf around the foot. How’s that for complexity!
No doubt, any Island Jim you choose is a top pick. And either can be enjoyed anytime of the day by all smokers.
