Island Airlines are the largest cigars. This 6” cigar is a full-bodied blend of tobaccos from Nicaragua, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. However, the Miller Ferry offers a more mid-body taste with a blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos.

The mild Niagara Corona, where Dominican and Brazilian tobaccos meld to make a truly delicious and also lighter taste. Niagara Coffee Cigars are a smaller stogie with dark notes of chocolate and coffee. Looking for the perfect 20-minute smoke? Opt for the Niagara Short Robusto.

Consequently, the Monument was specially introduced to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Monument and it’s mild with a Brazilian Cubra Wrapper. On the other hand, the Mojito Bay was developed to pair perfectly with the sweet, citrusy drinks at the Mojito Bay tiki bar in downtown Put-in-Bay. A wonderful, mild smoke.

Each cigar can also be purchased individually or in a set, perfect for Father’s Day or for celebrating the birth of a new child.
