Frequently Asked Questions About The Anniversary Cigar Pre-Sale
When are the cigars available for purchase?
Stock will go live on the website at 9 AM Central on 9/20. Last year, we sold out in minutes, not hours. We suggest setting a reminder on your calendar.
How much will the cigars cost?
Each 10-count box of cigars will cost $125.
Can I buy singles?
No, our anniversary release is sold by the 10-count box only.
Why does the cigar show as out of stock on the website?
Until 9 AM Central Time on 9/20, the cigars will be unavailable for purchase and will show as out of stock on the website. We will make the stock live at 9 AM, so we suggest refreshing your browser right at that time.
Can I place my order before 9/20?
To be fair to all of our customers, we cannot accept orders for the XIV before 9/20 at 9 AM. We will also not allow text message orders.
Can I purchase in-store?
Yes, of course! In-store purchases will also be on a first-come, first-served basis.
Did last year’s release really sell out in under 5 minutes?
Yes, last year’s release sold out in under 5 minutes. This is our most popular release every year. We are doing a slightly larger release this year but still anticipate high demand.
Are there any limits on the number of boxes?
We do not limit the number of boxes customers are able to purchase.
What happens if I miss out?
Our anniversary cigar release is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the cigars are sold out, they are gone for good.
When can I pick up my cigars?
The first opportunity to pick up your XIV boxes will be at the Anniversary party on October 4th, after which they will be available for pick-up at the shop.
When will my XIV order ship?
All orders that need to be shipped will be sent out to arrive no sooner than October 4th.
What can you tell me about the cigar?
Like in years past, this cigar was created by Brandon Hayes and Henderson Venture in the Dominican Republic. This year’s release is the result of several trips and many hours of work between the two of us. While I am proud of all the cigars we have created together, this one may be the best.
Size: Corona Gorda
Strength: Medium
Wrapper: San Andres - Colorado
Binder: Besiki
Fillers: Undisclosed
Flavor Profile:
For the Nerds:
First Half: Sweet vanilla, wood, and leather
Second Half: White chocolate, rich tobacco, and smoky flavors
Retro: Mild spice
For Everyone Else:
This is a very complex cigar with a lot of flavor transitions. You can taste the quality and age of the tobacco. It has enough strength that you know you’re smoking a cigar, but it isn’t overwhelmingly strong in terms of nicotine. It also has enough flavor to keep you engaged.
Party Details:
We will continue to release more details about the party in the days and weeks to come. Here’s what you need to know: As always, this year’s party will be an opportunity to celebrate with the customers and staff who make this all possible. There will be raffles and cash giveaways totaling over $20,000, along with fun, food, drinks, and music. You'll also have the chance to meet Henderson Ventura and purchase ADV Cigars at the event. The party will be held at our exciting new venue on October 4, 2024. The only way to guarantee a free ticket is to purchase an anniversary box of cigars.
