A legend returns!
The former head of CAO Cigars Tim Ozgener is back, and his first entry promises to bring a smile to your face, introducing Ozgener Bosphorus. After an extended hiatus, the new Ozgener Family Cigars debuted the new blend amongst a slew of upcoming projects headed by the industry legend. Although just released in 2022, all four sizes received '90'+ ratings from Cigar Aficionado in a vertical tasting, with the B52 vitola receiving a '93'!
Bosphorus, which gains inspiration from the Turkish waterway known as the Bosphorus Strait, pays homage to Ozgener’s family roots. An Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper sits atop two binder leaves –– an Ecuadorian Connecticut and Nicaraguan Jalapa –– complimenting a blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers from the regions of Estelí, Jalapa, and Ometepe. Notes of earth, wood, pepper, and natural sweetness can be enjoyed before a satisfying finish steals the show.
Coming in four different box-pressed vitolas, Ozgener Bosphorus is a must-try for fans of pre-General Cigar CAO, or just fans of premium cigars!
Ranked #22 on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 cigars of 2023!
