Essential Blend No. 1

Discover the legacy of excellence with O.M. Boutique Cigars—where every band signifies a promise of unparalleled quality. Since 2019, O.M. has been synonymous with dedication and craftsmanship, never settling for anything less than perfection. The anticipation has been building, and it’s finally here: the release of a small batch cigar adorned with the exquisite Habano vuelta arriba wrapper. It’s not just a boutique cigar; it’s a statement of luxury. Introducing the Essential Blend No.1, a masterpiece that encapsulates the essence of O.M.’s commitment to quality. This blend is a celebration of flavors to Osvaldo’s Mother featuring a robust selection of Dominican criollo 98, Nicaraguan Estelí, and Pennsylvania broadleaf tobaccos. Sun-grown Habana seed tobaccos above the typical corona or ligero priming’s, are carefully chosen and blended to highlight natural spice and earthy undertones in this blend of 3 country fillers, all held together by a flavorful Piloto Cubano binder.
The star of the show, the Habano vuelta arriba wrapper, is a vision of beauty and taste.
Cultivated under the natural cloud cover, it presents a shea butter body with a beldugo appearance, promising a sensory experience that’s both crisp and effervescent. Revel in the sweet spices that mingle with cocoa butter, leading to a citrusy finish with a peppery twist.
The aroma? A savory malted leather that’s subtle, complex, and radiantly luxuriant.

Cigar Test Ride –
This is a mild-bodied cigar that delivers a truly pleasant and flavorful experience from start to finish.
Pre-light: The aroma offers subtle hints of coffee and chocolate—inviting and smooth.
Cold Draw: Light and clean, setting the stage for a nuanced profile.
Retrohale: Light, with a pleasant spice and a surprising touch of citrus—almost like lemon zest.
First Third
Opens with gentle spice layered over a very faint citrus note in the background. The profile remains consistent, balanced, and incredibly smooth throughout this third.
Second Third
Transitions beautifully. The retrohale brings out a soft citrus note accompanied by a subtle pepper touch. The draw introduces a wonderful buttered toast flavor, with just a hint of pepper quietly sitting in the background. The complexity here is impressive—delicate yet engaging.
Another retrohale brings that subtle spice forward again, immediately followed by draws of cocoa and butter. The flavors are just rich enough to make you want to keep going.
Final Third
The pepper steps up noticeably on the retrohale, adding a bold contrast to the buttery draw that follows. As it progresses, you’ll get that pepper-forward note with intermittent touches of citrus still dancing in the background—faint, but refreshing.

Final Thoughts:
This is a wonderful cigar with a clean, elegant flavor arc. What stands out the most is OM’s ability to deliver such refined transitions throughout the smoke. From citrus to spice, toast to butter, cocoa to pepper—it’s a journey worth taking.
The Essential Blend No. 1 is yet another standout from OM’s sampler. I’ve been genuinely impressed with the craftsmanship and evolving profiles in this line. Hats off—this one’s worth a revisit.
