1 / 5
A rich, full bodied cigar that immerses your palate.
EGO Red is a full flavored line of cigars. The careful blending of tobaccos from Jamastran, Jalapa and Indonesia are brought together to create a full flavor cigar that is further enhanced by “pressing” the Tobaccos together and aging them carefully before boxing them and shipping them to their eventual home, your humidor. EGO Red cigars range from a Perfect perfecto shape of 52 x 5 to the powerful Passion torpedo of 6 ½ x 58. EGO Red cigars also features a cedar lined box of 100 EGO Shots; a cigarillo of 24 x 5 when you don’t have the time or when you simply have the need for a Shot of EGO.
Suggested pairingA Negroni, or an Old Fashioned made with rye.

Reviews
“Overall, this was a very good cigar and worthy of its name. This is a cigar I would smoke on a regular and a great addition to any rotation.”
A video review of the Spirit.
“The first time I smoked a Felix Assouline cigar I was so taken aback that I immediately contacted him and asked "why have I never heard of you".”
“Full and complex; spicy with notes of cedar and sweet cream, with a warm leather and cocoa finish. Rating of 91.”
“It is a great cigar that offers solid flavor and a rich full body.”
“Full of sweet earthy notes”
“There is no doubt that Felix knows his cigars as the construction on this baby was flawless. Great draw, even burn, gorgeous layered ash.”
“I would definitely smoke more of these and would consider it box-worthy. It wasn’t strong enough to scare away anyone, but enough to make it exciting.”
