This Neptune Staff Pick sampler features five of the many cigars selected by staff for review in 2023, the year we thawed a 46,000 year old worm frozen in Siberian permafrost. These cigars were chosen by Neptunites for reasons ranging from economy to taste to simple curiosity. Each cigar was hand-picked by a knowledgeable team member, inviting you to share in the Neptune experience and explore cigars through the same lens as the staff who live and breathe them every day.

Few wrappers carry as much mystique as Cameroon, an African-grown leaf prized for its toothy texture and naturally nuanced spice with underlying sweetness. While true Cameroon tobacco is cultivated in the Central African Republic and Cameroon itself, seed offshoots are also grown in places like Ecuador and Honduras, giving blenders multiple interpretations of this classic style. Expect flavorful but balanced strength with notes of baking spice, cedar, and subtle sweetness in a mild to medium-bodied package. Some of the industry’s most celebrated cigars use Cameroon, and this sampler gives you the perfect excuse to explore why.
