Top Cigars to Smoke on Halloween
Whether you’re dressing up as Wolverine or sporting a pair of Groucho glasses for Halloween this year, a cigar is a mandatory prop for your costume. But you don’t have to settle for a cheap machine-made cigar from a convenience store. Smoke a premium handmade that tastes great and burns evenly. If you’re a novice who only smokes once a year when you’re getting into your Halloween character, you’ll want to stick with something milder, especially if you plan to tote your cigar around and puff on it for most of the night. To all the “Terminators” and “Tony Montanas” out there, here’s a list of the best cigars to smoke this Halloween.
1. Tatuaje Monster Series
The Tatuaje Monster Series takes the cake as the top Halloween cigar. Brand founder Pete Johnson releases an anticipated limited-edition cigar every year for Halloween. For 2025, Mummy Redux is a new take on the original Mummy, which was the fifth official Tatuaje Monster cigar back in 2012. The cigar is named for the main character in the 1932 horror classic, The Mummy. Legendary British actor Boris Karloff portrays the ancient Egyptian mummy, Imhotep, in the film. Mummy Redux is a 7.5-by-47 Churchill blended from a reddish-brown Nicaraguan Criollo wrapper leaf and premium Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos grown on select Garcia family estates. The cigars are produced at the My Father factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Savory notes of leather, cedar, cinnamon, and earth characterize this spooky, small-batch smoke. The Mummy Redux is available in limited-edition boxes of 13, which sell out fast. Only 5,000 boxes were produced for 2025, so grab the original “boo-tique” cigar from Tatuaje this Halloween before they vanish.
2. Ashton Classic
While there’s nothing creepy or macabre about Ashton Classic, it’s an ideal Halloween cigar to smoke if you tend to enjoy a cigar on a rare occasion. This iconic mild blend offers elegant flavor and aroma without overpowering your palate or your tolerance for nicotine. Creamy and silky tasting notes of almond, cashew, coffee bean, and cedar accompany a delightful aroma. A golden-blond Connecticut Shade wrapper covers vintage Dominican long-fillers aged for three to five years. The blend is handmade in a wide variety of sizes that burn for different amounts of time. Get into character with the top-rated, top-shelf taste of an Ashton cigar.
3. Punch Diablo
Punch Diablo is referred to as “The Dark Side of Punch.” Master cigarmaker AJ Fernandez blends the full-bodied profile of Punch Diablo, featuring a dark and oily Ecuador Sumatra wrapper and a complex recipe of Connecticut Broadleaf binders with Nicaraguan and Honduran long-fillers inside. A bold amalgam of spicy, sweet, and leathery flavors is bound beneath a black-and-red cigar band, perfect for a Halloween prop. But beware, Punch Diablo packs a wallop and is best served after dinner due to its intense taste.
4. Nub Corojo
Nub Corojo makes our list of Halloween smokes with its pumpkin-orange cigar band and short, digestible shape. Notes of cocoa, leather, and pepper emerge courtesy of an oily Corojo wrapper and a well-aged core of Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, throughout a nutty and zesty finish. Nub cigars are easy to smoke outside if the weather’s a little cool because their plump and abbreviated size doesn’t require hours to consume. Plus, Nub is handcrafted from the finest premium tobaccos at the award-winning Oliva factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Practice your best Max Cady laugh while big billows of smoke erupt from your face like a chimney stack, thanks to the cigar’s girth.
5. Deadwood Girl With No Name by Drew Estate
Deadwood Girl With No Name is a creamy and aromatic smoke from Drew Estate. If you’re intimidated by the natural taste and aroma of a traditional premium cigar, this 7-by-44 Lonsdale offers a mellow profile infused with sweet flavor and aroma. Tasting notes of cocoa, oak, vanilla bean, and marzipan layer the palate in an easygoing cigar. A San Andrés wrapper surrounds a proprietary blend of long-fillers from head to foot. The cryptic cigar band fits the mood, too. Deadwood cigars celebrate the Wild West mining culture of the Black Hills in South Dakota, and they’re ideal for fans of the Acid brand or flavored cigars in general.
6. Rocky Patel Mulligans Caddy's Choice
Rocky Patel Mulligans Caddy’s Choice is a perfect Halloween cigar, thanks to its reliable flavor and aroma, as well as its inexpensive price tag. You’re getting a brand name for an affordable price in a 20-count bundle that you can share with your pals at your next Halloween herf. A glistening Sumatra wrapper leaf embraces a tasty Cuban sandwich blend in a trio of classic shapes. If you need a well-made, knock-around cigar with delicious taste to go with your costume, turn to Rocky Patel Mulligans.
