About this cigar
Garo 1887 Box Press BPT 6.5x54 Garo has quietly built a reputation for thoughtful blending and meticulous construction, and the 1887 line distills that philosophy into a box-pressed format that commands attention. Named for the brand's founding year, this vitola measures 6.5x54, a generous parejo that allows the blend to develop complexity across a longer smoking session. The BPT wrapper, a Broadleaf variant, delivers the darkness and natural sweetness you'd expect while maintaining enough texture to feel substantial in hand. The smoking experience unfolds in layers. Initial notes pivot between cocoa and leather, with a peppery backbone that keeps things from turning one-dimensional. By the second third, subtle spice emerges alongside hints of caramel and subtle wood tones. The box-press silhouette ensures even burn and that satisfying structural integrity that experienced smokers appreciate. Strength sits in the medium-plus range, making it an ideal after-dinner expression without becoming overwhelming. This is a cigar for lounges and retailers stocking a curated collection. The format invites 90 minutes of focused smoking, perfect for a steakhouse closing time or the contemplative end of a weekend. A box of 24 sits comfortably in inventory, offering enough consistency to become a house favorite among discerning customers.
