Crafting modern classics with a nod to tradition.
Founding and Philosophy
Crux Cigars was founded in 2014 by Jeff Haugen and Robert Rasmussen, emerging from a desire to create cigars that honored classic traditions while appealing to contemporary palates. From its inception, the brand chose to partner with Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua, leveraging their extensive expertise in tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing. This collaboration allowed Crux to maintain strict quality control and consistency across its product lines, quickly establishing a reputation for reliable, handcrafted cigars.
Signature Style and Blending
Crux cigars are generally characterized by a medium body and a profile that emphasizes balance, complexity, and smoothness. While they utilize a variety of wrapper types, including Ecuadorian Habano, Connecticut Broadleaf, and even unique Ometepe tobaccos, the core often features Nicaraguan fillers and binders. Enthusiasts can expect nuanced flavor transitions, clean burns, and a consistently comfortable draw, reflecting the brand's dedication to a refined and approachable smoking experience.
Key Series and Innovations
Among Crux's notable offerings are the Epicure, known for its smooth and flavorful profile, and the Limitada series, which features limited annual releases often incorporating rare or specially aged tobaccos. The Guild and Bull & Bear lines also stand out for their distinct character and consistent performance. Crux is also recognized for its commitment to traditional vitolas, often releasing cigars in sizes that pay homage to classic cigar dimensions, appealing to purists and modern aficionados alike.
