What's in My Cigar Pack? July 2022 | My Cigar Pack
A Packed Month With a Confident Pace
July 2022 arrives with momentum. The tone of this unboxing is relaxed but assured, reflecting a month that is both stacked and purposeful. There is no attempt to oversell what is inside the packs. Instead, the confidence comes from selection. July feels like a point where multiple threads My Cigar Pack has been developing begin to converge, Factory Direct innovation, long awaited brand inclusions, and a continued focus on global cigar culture.
This episode walks through the July lineup with clarity, highlighting why each cigar belongs and how the overall curation balances excitement with structure. While not every subscriber receives every cigar mentioned, the breakdown provides a full picture of what defines the month across the different pack types.
Factory Direct Returns With Mulberry and Spring Habano
The starting point for July is Factory Direct, and the spotlight lands on the second entry in the Mulberry and Spring project. This time, the focus is the Habano version, included as the featured Factory Direct cigar.
Mulberry and Spring Habano represents what Factory Direct was designed to do. It allows cigars to be created in the moment, using tobaccos available now rather than forcing compromises required for long term production. That flexibility is described as both rare and valuable.
The Habano version uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, staying true to its name. The blend includes San Vicente, Dominican tobacco, Criollo 98, and Corojo 99 fillers, all held together by a Honduran Corojo binder. This cigar is the result of a collaborative effort involving the Diademas team and partners connected to Davidoff and Camacho.
Rather than positioning this cigar as a permanent offering, the emphasis remains on its immediacy. It exists because the materials exist now. That makes it special, not scarce by design, but finite by nature. The Habano version continues the Mulberry and Spring philosophy while offering a distinct expression within the same project.
A Long Awaited Arrival From My Father Cigars
One of the most anticipated developments in July is the inclusion of cigars from My Father Cigars. Their arrival in the packs is framed as a milestone, not just another brand placement.
Several releases make their way into the lineup, including La Promesa, La Opulencia, and Centurion H2K. Each brings its own identity, but together they represent the craftsmanship and consistency that has defined the Garcia family’s work over the years.
Centurion H2K is noted for its Connecticut Habano wrapper, offering a profile that stands apart from expectations often associated with the brand. La Opulencia carries recognition as a highly regarded cigar within the industry, while La Promesa is positioned as a blend that leans into an old world sensibility.
Rather than focusing on accolades alone, the discussion centers on how these cigars fit into the broader experience. Their inclusion reflects both demand and timing, making July feel like the right moment for their arrival.
A Literary Classic in Cigar Form
Alongside My Father, another iconic name appears in the packs, Arturo Fuente, represented through the Hemingway line.
An assortment of Arturo Fuente Hemingway cigars is included across the packs. These cigars require little explanation. Their reputation is long established, and their presence reinforces a sense of continuity within the lineup.
The Hemingway series is known for its Cameroon wrapper, Dominican fillers, and consistent construction. From the perennially back ordered Short Story to other formats in the line, these cigars bring familiarity and confidence. Their inclusion acts as a stabilizing element in a month filled with experimentation and innovation.
Mexico’s Growing Voice: Casa 1910
July also highlights Mexico’s expanding role in premium cigar production. The conversation turns to Casa 1910, a brand positioned as both innovative and culturally significant.
The Cuccio Paradiso release is described as entirely distinct from what many smokers may be accustomed to. Featuring San Andrés fillers and binder paired with a Mexican Sumatra wrapper, the cigar stands apart visually and experientially.
Flavor impressions focus on savory and roasted elements, with meaty and herbal characteristics shaping the profile. Rather than framing this as an outlier, the cigar is presented as evidence of Mexico’s ability to produce world class tobacco with its own identity.
The broader mission of Casa 1910 is acknowledged. The brand is actively invested in redefining cigar culture in Mexico, and that commitment is reinforced through firsthand experience visiting and filming with the team. This inclusion feels educational as much as it is enjoyable.
Continuing the Tatuaje Momentum
Momentum from June carries into July with another appearance from Tatuaje Cigars. The Selección de Cazador Nicaragua is highlighted as a cigar aimed squarely at fans of bold Nicaraguan profiles.
This blend pairs Nicaraguan tobaccos with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, resulting in a cigar described as punchy, spicy, and savory. It is framed as a ride rather than a casual smoke, reinforcing its place within the medium to full side of the lineup.
The inclusion reflects ongoing appreciation for Pete Johnson’s work and the consistency he brings to the brand. It also adds continuity to the monthly narrative, showing how certain relationships deepen over time rather than appearing once and disappearing.
A Harvest Worth Marking: Plasencia Cosecha 146
Closing out the July selection is a cigar that carries both technical and historical significance, Plasencia Cigars Cosecha 146.
This release commemorates Plasencia’s 146th harvest, referencing tobacco planted in 2011 and harvested in 2012. While the numbers anchor the cigar historically, the experience itself is framed as approachable rather than ceremonial.
The blend includes Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos, with a wrapper from Honduras’ Jamastran Valley. Flavor impressions range across earthy, spicy, savory, citrusy, and dough like notes, creating a layered profile that invites attention without demanding it.
Often labeled a special occasion cigar, Cosecha 146 is treated here with a more personal philosophy. Every cigar can be a special occasion, depending on perspective. That mindset reflects the tone of July as a whole.
Understanding the Segmentation
A key reminder is woven into the breakdown. Not every subscriber receives every cigar discussed. The July lineup is segmented across mild to medium, medium to full, MCP3, and other curated selections.
This segmentation is intentional. It allows My Cigar Pack to place cigars where they make the most sense, aligning strength and profile with subscriber preferences. The transparency around this process reinforces trust and clarity.
The value of the breakdown lies in understanding the month as a whole, even if individual packs differ.
The Introduction of My Cigar Pack Elite
Before closing, attention shifts briefly to a major development, My Cigar Pack Elite. This new tier is introduced as a limited offering focused on the highest end selections possible.
Elite members will receive access to rare, limited, and exclusive cigars, curated with the same philosophy but elevated in scope. While open to anyone, availability is intentionally limited, reinforcing the concept without leaning on hype.
This announcement adds forward looking energy to the episode, signaling that July is not just a strong month, but part of a larger evolution.
A Month That Reflects Confidence
What defines July 2022 is confidence. Confidence in Factory Direct as a creative platform. Confidence in partnerships with established and emerging brands. Confidence in subscribers’ curiosity and taste.
The selection moves fluidly between innovation and tradition, global exploration and familiar comfort. There is no single headline cigar trying to carry the month. Instead, July works because everything supports everything else.
Closing the Unboxing
July’s unboxing invites participation. Viewers are encouraged to share which cigars they are most excited about, reinforcing the community driven nature of My Cigar Pack.
As the lineup settles in, one thing is clear. July 2022 is not about easing into summer quietly. It is about stepping forward with intention, offering cigars that reflect where My Cigar Pack has been and where it is going next.
The packs may differ, but the message is consistent. This is a month built to be enjoyed, explored, and talked about.
