WHAT’S IN MY CIGAR PACK OCTOBER 2022 – VIDEO RECAP | MY CIGAR PACK
Halloween Cigars, Wild Origins, and One Very Serious Tease
October is never just another month for us.
It is the start of a new season. It carries tradition, celebration, reflection, and a little bit of chaos in the best way possible. It is also a month where we allow ourselves to push boundaries, introduce unfamiliar territory, and lean into cigars that spark conversation.
This year’s October pack does exactly that.
From tobacco grown in places most people never expect, to classic brands doing things they have never done before, to one of the most talked-about teasers we have ever put in someone’s hands, October 2022 is a pack built to surprise, challenge assumptions, and reward curiosity.
Let’s get into it.
October Energy Hits Different
October has a personality of its own.
It is Halloween season. It is Oktoberfest season. It is a moment where people loosen up, try something new, and lean into flavor. That spirit is reflected directly in how we built this pack.
This is not a safe selection. It is not meant to be predictable. It is meant to feel seasonal, bold, and intentional. Every cigar here earns its place, not just by reputation, but by how it fits into the bigger picture of what October represents.
And yes, there are bats, pumpkins, and a little mischief involved.
The Cigar Nobody Expected to See
One of the most striking inclusions this month is a cigar that challenges long-held assumptions about where premium tobacco can come from.
This is a cigar built entirely around Haitian-grown tobacco.
That alone makes it a conversation starter.
Historically, Haiti has not been part of mainstream cigar discussions, especially when compared to its neighbors. Yet geographically, culturally, and historically, it shares deep roots with regions that helped shape early tobacco traditions in the Caribbean.
What makes this cigar important is not just its origin, but the fact that it works. It proves that great tobacco is not confined to a short list of familiar places. Soil, climate, care, and intent matter just as much as reputation.
For many of us, this is our first direct encounter with Haitian tobacco in cigar form, and that moment of discovery is exactly why it belongs in the pack.
If you have smoked it, we want to hear from you. If you never thought you would, welcome to October.
When a Heavyweight Goes Connecticut
Casa Magna is a name typically associated with weight, density, and presence.
That is why seeing a Connecticut-wrapped version immediately raises eyebrows.
This is not a cosmetic decision. Putting a Connecticut wrapper on a traditionally powerful blend is risky. If done poorly, the wrapper disappears. If done right, it elevates the entire cigar.
In this case, the choice makes sense.
The wrapper selection supports combustion, balance, and integration with the underlying blend. Rather than muting the cigar, it reframes it. You still get the chewiness and complexity Casa Magna is known for, but with a different texture and rhythm.
This is not a Connecticut for people who only smoke light cigars. This is a Connecticut for people who want to see what happens when strength and refinement meet halfway.
Patina, Turned Up a Notch
Patina has become a familiar name in our packs for a reason.
This particular expression pushes things further.
The Sumatra wrapper adds a layer of depth and richness that changes how the blend behaves. There is more oil. More presence. More structure. It feels bolder, more complex, and slightly more assertive than other versions.
It is not overpowering, but it definitely announces itself.
This is the kind of cigar that rewards attention. The copper accents are not just aesthetic. They match the personality of the smoke itself. Warm, dense, and layered.
For Patina fans, this one stands out. For newcomers, it makes a strong first impression.
Oktoberfest, the Right Way
Some cigars belong in October no matter where you are in the world.
The Oktoberfest cigar is one of them.
This is not just about beer pairing, although it does that extremely well. It is about versatility. One cigar, multiple experiences. Different beers bring out different sides of the blend, making it a cigar that encourages experimentation.
It also holds up on its own, which is why it earns its spot in the pack.
This is a cigar that understands celebration without sacrificing quality. It fits October not because of branding, but because of how it smokes.
Dessert Without Apology
Sobremesa Brûlée has become known for one thing above all else.
Sweetness.
This is not sweetness as a gimmick. It is sweetness as balance. Caramel notes, vanilla impressions, buttery aromas, and a pastry-like richness that feels intentional rather than artificial.
Some people debate how this sweetness is achieved. What matters is the result. It is cohesive, enjoyable, and unmistakable.
Think of this as dessert in cigar form. Not heavy. Not overwhelming. Just satisfying.
This is the kind of cigar that changes how people think about sweetness in premium cigars.
Matt Booth, Reimagined
LSD Los Tatos Deluxe marks a new chapter.
This cigar takes an older name and gives it new life through thoughtful design, careful construction, and a very deliberate aesthetic. The paper wrapping alone signals intention. It protects the cigar, but it also elevates the ritual of opening it.
Flavor-wise, this cigar plays with earth, nuttiness, subtle sweetness, and a gentle floral or herbal presence that keeps it interesting from start to finish.
It feels modern without chasing trends. Creative without being chaotic.
This is a cigar that invites you to slow down and actually pay attention.
The One We’re Not Telling You About Yet
And then there is Quantum.
This is not an accident. This is not a last-minute idea. This is a project that has been in development for a long time, through changes, refinements, and hard decisions.
What you are holding is a teaser.
A smaller vitola chosen because it smokes exceptionally well. Rich espresso notes, dark fruit, mocha, cocoa, and depth that immediately signals this is something serious.
The Maduro version is coming first. The Habano version will follow, made at a different factory.
Details are coming. Bands are coming. The full story is coming.
For now, consider this an invitation rather than an explanation.
Why This Pack Matters
October 2022 is not about any single cigar.
It is about range.
It is about showing how wide and interesting cigar culture can be when you are willing to look beyond the obvious. From unexpected tobacco origins to established brands taking risks, this pack represents what we believe My Cigar Pack should always be.
Curated, intentional, and driven by experience rather than hype.
Final Thoughts
This October pack reflects who we are right now.
Curious. Confident. Willing to take risks. Willing to surprise you.
If you smoked these cigars, we want your feedback. If one stood out, tell us why. If one challenged your expectations, even better.
That conversation is the point.
Happy October. Stay safe. Smoke well.
