Today, we examine the contents of the 2024 Smoke Inn Advent calendar for day 22. Warning: spoiler alert.
An Advent calendar counts down the days until Christmas. This tradition is believed to have originated with the German Lutherans. The calendar features moveable parts, such as flaps, doors, or pockets, that reveal a daily surprise. In 2021, Smoke Inn released its first Advent calendar, where the “surprise” is a different cigar daily. For the first time since 2021, Smoke Inn has redesigned the packaging.
Today’s reveal is the Red Meat Lovers Ribeye by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust. Back in 2019, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust’s Steve Saka created a cigar for a meat-eating social group known as The Red Meat Lovers Club. Originally, this was an exclusive that South Florida retailer Smoke Inn released in several small batch runs. Last year, Saka took the Red Meat Lovers line national. The Ribeye size is a 6 x 52 prensado that was first released as “Meat Box Pressed” to Smoke Inn.
