What's in My Cigar Pack? March 2022 | My Cigar Pack
A Month Built on Variety and Momentum
March is often where the year starts to stretch its legs. Winter is still present, but the edges soften, and cigar selections tend to reflect that in both mood and range. The March 2022 My Cigar Pack release leans heavily into variety, offering subscribers a wide cross section of styles, origins, and personalities.
This month is also designed with inclusivity in mind. Whether subscribers selected mild to medium or medium to full preferences, every pack includes five cigars, curated around individual taste profiles. March serves a dual purpose. It introduces newer subscribers to standout releases from previous packs, while still keeping long time members engaged with fresh combinations.
The result is a lineup that feels energetic and slightly chaotic in the best way possible. It is a reminder that discovery has always been one of the strongest pillars of the My Cigar Pack experience.
Leading Off With a Trilogy Favorite
The opening cigar for March is one that sets the tone, even if it does not physically appear on camera. The first round of the Knockout trilogy anchors the month. Created through a collaboration between the Hot Ticket Podcast and Rodriguez Cigars, this cigar represents the beginning of a three part project built with care and long term vision.
Round one of the Knockout lands in every pack. It is wrapped, finished, and positioned as a cigar made with intention rather than speed. The emphasis throughout the discussion is on effort. The people behind this project invested significant time and energy, and its inclusion across all packs reflects confidence in the result.
For newer subscribers, this cigar serves as an introduction to one of the more talked about collaborations in the My Cigar Pack ecosystem. For returning members, it is a welcome revisit to a cigar that has already earned goodwill.
Returning Hits and Cult Favorites
March also functions as a highlight reel. Several cigars included this month are widely recognized by dedicated cigar enthusiasts, particularly those who follow boutique releases and media driven projects.
Crowned Heads
Le Patissier Lonsdale
Le Patissier makes an appearance in Lonsdale format, bringing with it a reputation that precedes the cigar itself. Known for its rich personality and polarizing reception in formal reviews, this cigar has developed a loyal following among smokers who value experience over scoring systems.
Its inclusion is framed less as validation from critics and more as affirmation from the community. This is a cigar that resonates on a visceral level, and that resonance is exactly why it earns a place in March’s lineup.
Kazdagli Cigars
Villa Kazdagli Corona
Costa Rican cigars remain relatively uncommon in many collections, which makes Villa Kazdagli a notable inclusion. Produced in Costa Rica using tobaccos sourced from multiple countries, including the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Peru, this cigar offers a truly international profile.
The cigar is framed as expressive and memorable, often described by those familiar with it as playful and character driven. Its presence in the pack adds geographic diversity and reinforces the theme of exploration.
The Return of a Familiar Tiger
Mysterious Tiger returns once again, reinforcing its status as a recurring favorite. Featuring a mystery blend and a Corojo Rosado wrapper, this cigar is positioned as a reward. It appears not as a teaser, but as a gesture of appreciation.
The conversation hints at what is to come, with the second part of the Duality project on the horizon. For now, this version is described as sweet, chewy, and aromatic, offering a comforting yet engaging smoke.
Its inclusion reflects how My Cigar Pack often treats certain cigars as ongoing narratives rather than one off appearances. Subscribers are invited to follow along, building anticipation organically rather than through forced scarcity.
A Heavy Presence From John Huber
March carries a noticeable imprint from John Huber’s work, and that is very much intentional. Known for pushing boundaries and cultivating strong identities within his blends, his cigars appear multiple times throughout the pack.
Rather than spotlighting a single release, the selection leans into the broader philosophy behind his projects. These cigars tend to be bold in expression, creative in presentation, and unapologetic in style.
Their inclusion adds intensity and personality, ensuring the pack never feels predictable.
Adventure and Illusion
Adventura Cigars
The Queen’s Pearls Lancero
The Queen’s Pearls arrives in Lancero format, bringing elegance and precision into the mix. Produced in the Dominican Republic, this cigar is framed as refined yet assertive, requiring attention from start to finish.
Its presentation, construction, and overall execution are emphasized as part of the experience. This is not a passive smoke. It rewards engagement and patience, fitting well within a pack designed for variety.
E.P. Carrillo
Epilogue or Illusion
An all Nicaraguan cigar with a medium bodied profile, this box pressed release delivers familiar comfort with thoughtful refinement. Notes associated with dessert like elements such as chocolate chip cookie, cashew, vanilla bean, and toast are highlighted as part of the experience.
The rounded edges of the box press are noted for comfort, while the practical benefit of stability on a table is mentioned with a nod to cigar photography. This cigar balances function and flavor without overstating either.
Oscar Valladares and Controlled Chaos
Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co.
2012 Barber Pole
The 2012 Barber Pole stands out visually and conceptually. Featuring Candela and San Andrés leaves, it immediately signals something different. The flavor profile is described as green, peppery, and balanced by sweetness.
This cigar is framed as unconventional, but well executed. It adds contrast to the pack, proving that experimentation does not have to come at the cost of enjoyment.
Superfly
Oscar Valladares appears again with Superfly, a cigar that embraces its theme fully. Funky by design and expressive in flavor, it reinforces the brand’s reputation for creativity.
Its inclusion further strengthens March’s identity as a month that celebrates personality as much as polish.
Familiar Faces With New Context
Villiger Cigars
Atlà King
Returning from the December packs, the Atlà King appears again, this time not as a seasonal choice but as a gesture of appreciation. Fruity, sweet, and approachable, it earns its spot simply by being well liked.
The cigar’s distinctive band design is noted for its uniqueness, adding a lighthearted visual element to an otherwise robust lineup.
Oliva Cigar Co.
Serie V Melanio
The Melanio requires little explanation. Its reputation precedes it, and its inclusion is framed as a reminder rather than an introduction. Sometimes the right choice is the obvious one, and this cigar exemplifies that idea.
Lost, Found, and Right on Time
Caldwell Cigar Co.
Lost and Found 22 Minutes to Midnight Habano
This release leans heavily into narrative. With a name that invites curiosity and a blend that delivers richness, it stands out as both playful and serious.
The cigar is Dominican made and positioned as reliable without being boring. Its mystique adds texture to the pack, especially for smokers who enjoy cigars with a story attached.
Patina Maduro
The Maduro version of Patina rounds out this section with a focus on cocoa forward richness. Blended with Nicaraguan and Mexican tobaccos, it is described as an ideal morning cigar when paired with dark coffee.
The emphasis remains on balance rather than intensity, reinforcing March’s theme of range over extremes.
A Touch of Elegance From La Galera
La Galera Cigars
1936 Box Press and Assorted Releases
The final component of the March packs comes from La Galera. Assorted cigars, including the 1936 Box Press, are included as finishing touches.
These cigars are described as elegant, well constructed, and expressive. They bring a sense of refinement to a pack that otherwise thrives on diversity.
Looking Ahead Without Losing Focus
Before closing, the episode highlights two upcoming developments. The second part of the Mysterious Tiger Duality project is on its way, building anticipation without overstating it.
Additionally, the introduction of the My Cigar Pack Mystery Pack program adds a new layer to the subscription experience. Offered as a first come, first serve add on, these packs emphasize value and surprise, extending the discovery aspect beyond the core subscription.
A Pack That Refuses to Be One Thing
March 2022 does not attempt to define itself by a single theme. Instead, it embraces contradiction. Familiar names sit beside lesser known releases. Bold cigars share space with refined ones. Humor and seriousness coexist comfortably.
That refusal to narrow the experience is what makes this pack memorable. It trusts subscribers to find their own favorites and to appreciate the journey as much as the destination.
As the year moves forward, March stands as a reminder of what My Cigar Pack does best. Curating cigars that encourage exploration, conversation, and enjoyment without prescribing how they should be experienced.
