Smoke Inn Hanukkah Box Day 6 | The Blog

Today, we continue the reveal of the 2024 Smoke Inn Hanukkah Box with the cigar for day 6 of the Festival of Lights. Warning: spoiler alert.

Like Smoke Inn’s Advent Calendar, a different cigar will be revealed each day for the eight days of Hanukkah. Much like lighting a candle on the menorah for each night of Hanukkah, each “candle” box inside the large Hanukkah box will contain a cigar. The ninth candle of the menorah, known as the Shamash, is used to light the other candles on the menorah. Following that pattern, Smoke Inn’s Hanukkah box contains nine candle boxes – eight representing the eight nights of Hanukkah and one for the Shamash.

Notably, there is one big difference between the Smoke Inn Hanukkah Box and the Smoke Inn Advent Calendar. The Advent Calendar focuses on more commercially available cigars, while the Hanukkah Box focuses on rare cigars with limited production.

Today’s reveal is the Montecristo M Toro by Altadis U.S.A. AJ Fernandez produces the Montecristo M in Nicaragua. The cigar features all Nicaraguan tobacco for the binder and filler. The wrapper is Ecuadorian Connecticut grown by A.S.P. Enterprises. The report and Altadis U.S.A. both say the wrapper has been aged for 20 years. Because of the aging required for the wrapper, the Montecristo M is produced in limited quantities.
