Welcome to Tinder Box
Distinguished Reviewers

Welcome to the Tinder Box Cigar Review! This is a totally biased, selfish and self serving page put together by our panel of distinguished reviewers who are just dying for you to try the cigars they are so wholeheartedly reviewing and recommending to you!

Some of these cigars are only available at the reviewer's Tinder Box store...others might be well known and national, not to mention, international frontmarks. Others might be that obscure little one shape brand with a perfecto from a factory well off the beaten (if any)path from some remote corner of an unknown island in the Caribbean.

So, check your hygrometer, make sure you have room in your humidor and take a walk on the wild side. This fun little page is not for the faint of palate or the stodgiest of cigar smoker! Lighten up...or should we say, "Light Up" and have some fun!

Now you might say, "How do I lay my hands on some of these little beauties?" You won't be able to order any of these puppies online. After each review, there will be a contact e-mail of the reviewer, who happens to be a franchisee who just happens to own a Tinder Box somewhere in this great country of ours who just happens to want to sell you the cigar they are proclaiming to be the best that will ever touch your lips. He or she will be happy to respond to your inquiry and personally take your order! (Yes.....we did say personally!) Your cigars will be on your doorstep faster than you can say Fuente Fuente Opus X!

Wild Mustangs

The Wild Mustangs is a most unusual cigar: Although Ecuador is known throughout the world as "the home of wrapper tobacco", Wild Mustang is one of the very few Ecuadoran Puros available anywhere. Even more unique, it’s an Ecuadoran Maduro. The dark, sun grown Ecuador Sumatra wrapper is triple fermented and aged a minimum of 8 years. Unlike some maduros, it is never "cooked" or "colored". Its dark color, leathery appearance and rich, peppery flavor is the product of time and nature.

The filler tobaccos (Ecuadoran N5, Santa Lucia and Criollo leaf) are all grown in the lush Quevedo valley in central Ecuador , by the oldest family of tobacco growers in the country. Unlike tobaccos for any other cigar, these are blended before fermentation, and piled in the aging barns together. They ferment together and achieve a distinctive marrying of flavors that cannot be accomplished any other way.

Finally, Wild Mustangs cigars are rolled entirely without the use of molds. After hand bunching of the filler, each individual cigar is perfectly formed by hand, and rolled very tightly in a sheet of paper instead of using a mold and press. Even the elegant torpedos are made this way.

And yet, every single cigar is draw-tested before it receives its wrapper leaf, so a perfect draw is unconditionally guaranteed.

Wild Mustangs is a most unusual cigar, created, blended and rolled exclusively for Tinder Box of Reno , Nevada .

The Wild Mustangs Cigar is available only at the Tinder Box store in Reno, Nevada. Our franchisee John Abram would love to tell you more about these special stogies in person! You can contact him by clicking here!

Cigar Review

Miguel y Tiziana

About a year ago, after judging the popularity of our Half Moon Cigars (a mild enjoyable smoke) at a reasonable price, I decided to add to our offering of cigars made exclusively for my Tinder Box store in Rockford Illinois. I started smoking and testing various blends looking for a medium bodied cigar that we would be proud to recommend and our customers would be happy to smoke. My search ended in the lush Jamastran Valley near Danli Honduras , where the wrapper, binder and filler are grown and then rolled by hand. The Sun Grown Wrapper makes this a delicious smoke. The name was chosen with pride. My son Michael will be married to Tiziana this summer and will be one of our family’s proudest moments. I developed this cigar to celebrate this very special event.

Miguel y Tiziana is available only at the Tinder Box stores in Rockford, Illinois. Our franchisee Dennis Lambert would love to tell you more about these special stogies in person! You can contact him in his store by clicking here!

Aiello

Marvelous taste and great value describes the infamous Aiello Cigar. Handmade in the country of Nicaragua, this beauty can be had with a variety of wrappers from Connecticut to a Cameroon or even a Maduro. The Aiello Maduro Torpedo has quickly become the best selling cigar at the Tinder Box in St. Charles because of it's rich taste without crushing the pocketbook. There are three sizes available in each line from a 5 X 50 to a 6 X 50 to a torpedo. Prices range from $79 to $90 for 25 cigars. Why not stock up today. As I tell my customers, Nicaraguan tobacco is the best kept secret!

These cigars are available only at the Tinder Box store in St. Charles, Missouri. Our franchisee Joe Aiello would love to tell you more about these special stogies in person! You can contact them and their store by clicking here!

Northwest Territory

Ecuador has been providing cigar tobacco for many years, however, its strength and texture has been more suited to wrappers and binders. The Ramos family has been experimenting for years to develop filler tobacco. We are pleased to announce they are there. Our NORTHWEST TERRITORY cigar is a result of their efforts. The Connecticut Shade version is a medium bodied cigar with nutty flavors. The true PURO with a Maduro Sumatra wrapper adds an element of spiciness to make this version a fun cigar.

Two more special features of the NORTHWEST TERRITORY cigar is they are rolled by experienced Cuban rollers that Fidel sent from his ROBAINA factory. And just as special is the price, more than half of most popular cigars.

The NORTHWEST TERRITORY is currently available in two sizes (more coming) in both wrappers in very nice ten count wooden boxes.

These cigars are available only at the Tinder Box store in Williamsville, New York. Our franchisee Steve Dvorak would love to tell you more about these special stogies in person! You can contact them and their store by clicking here!

Store and Product Photos
"The Tinder Box in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is by far the best cigar shop I have ever been in. The atmosphere alone, with its cigar lounge and friendly staff, makes cigar shopping, and smoking for that matter, an even more wonderful experience. I am extremely impressed with the overall quality of this Tinder Box and am now a frequent patron. GREAT JOB. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK."
