When it was first launched back in 2013, the Dissident Soapbox was billed as “a cigar brand for a new generation of smokers.” And it still holds true. It has a very modern flavorful profile, but it is handmade using time-honored cigar rolling methods. The Soapbox is a full-strength cigar that’s packed with flavor. Its three-nation blend features a Nicaraguan filler sheathed in an Ecuadorian binder and covered by a Sumatra wrapper. Fabrica Oveja Negra in Nicaragua is the crafter behind the Dissident Soapbox. In 2021, the Dissident brand was taken over by Cynn and Joshua Coburn, a husband and wife team, known for their innovative approach to marketing cigars. The Coburns are taking Dissident to the next generation of cigar lovers, while staying in touch with the cigar’s traditional roots.
