Our hearts are broken. Jim Cass, our family patriarch, slipped the bonds of this earthly existence yesterday, December 27th, at 11:11 a.m.

Jim touched the lives of so many people – both personally and within the cigar community – and was the catalyst for what has become known as Tinder Box of the Carolinas.

To say we miss him already is probably the most colossal understatement ever.

Please keep Martha, our matriarch, in your prayers at this difficult time.

Love to you all,
Our Tinder Box Family

What do you get when you make a cigar from the best rare to***co in the world, chosen by hand by the most skilled blenders, with every stage of production performed with the highest possible degree of devotion and attention to detail? A masterpiece is what you get. And that’s exactly what’s waiting under the lid in every box of Montecristo Ci**rs Epic No 2 Premium Selection 2007. The blend consists of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers beneath a Nicaraguan binder, wearing a creamy Ecuador Habano wrapper. You’ll be greeted at the outset by prominent notes of vanilla and nuts, and will find varying amounts of spice, wood, toast, caramel, and pepper as the burn travels down to your fingers. This is the second time this fantastic cigar has hit the market, and it went quick the first time around. Act fast, and make sure you don’t miss out on this one of a kind experience.
