To Smoke Cigars Is Divine.

Crafted in Honduras using all Honduran tobaccos, it features a unique Connecticut Shade variety grown in Honduras. Paired with tobaccos from the Talanga Valley, Jamastran, and Copán, it creates a silky-smooth smoke with roasted nuttiness, earthiness, and cream.

An Ecuadoran Connecticut wrapper aged at least six years, then aged in a bourbon barrel six months more. Aged long-fillers from Condega, Jalapa, and Estelí deliver a rich, creamy blend with the subtle influence of the barrel on the finish.

Crafted by the team behind Liga Privada using Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers beneath an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper — a medium blend with smooth, rich cedar, oak, cream and spice.

Deep notes of coffee and rich tobacco complemented by the slightest hint of pepper and sweet tones on the finish. Medium in body but full in flavor — a satisfying, anytime treat with genuine Nicaraguan boldness.

A beautifully dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper over Connecticut River Valley broadleaf binder and Nicaraguan fillers — medium to full-bodied, with richness, spice, and sweetness.

A dark Honduran Habano maduro wrapper surrounding Honduran Habano leaves throughout the binder and filler. High in flavor, medium in body.
A full-bodied experience that ensnares the senses with a robust earthy, woody profile showcasing notes of chocolate and pepper.



The Cigar Dinner was born thirty years ago, primarily through the efforts of Mark Mandeville and Tony Heckenkemper, whose combined goal was to provide an event for the men of our community to gather and to raise funds for the Christ the King Education Endowment Fund.
From its humble beginnings in a small tent on the east side of the Christ the King gymnasium, the Cigar Dinner quickly became an annual favorite and graduated to a much larger multi-tent affair on the west side of the old Early Childhood Development Center. After a multi-year run in this location, the Cigar Dinner moved to the Rucker Warehouse.
Over its history, the Cigar Dinner has annually brought several hundred men, both from within and from outside the Christ the King community, together in a fun, albeit somewhat smoky atmosphere. In addition to the fun and the many stories, the Cigar Dinner has raised well in excess of $500,000 for the CTK Education Endowment Fund.
From the annual raffle ticket buying frenzy to win the much sought-after Hasty-Bake, to the women of the community who donate their time to help serve and sell those tickets, to Mark Mandeville's bad jokes and constant jabs, to Phil and Brent who so often entertained us, and to all who have consistently supported this event — we and the children of this community offer our sincere thanks.
Since the passing of Mark Mandeville in 2010, all proceeds are added to the Mark Mandeville Bursar of the Christ the King Education Endowment Fund — in recognition of his contributions to this event, and of the ever-positive faith that endured throughout his battle with ALS.
We are all truly blessed, and this event is an example of what, over time, the efforts of a small community can accomplish together.
