I recently had the fortune of being sent a couple of sample cigars by the new Canadian cigar brand Dominion Cigar. Dominion is based in New Westminster, British Columbia, which makes them an incredibly unique company in the cigar world. Here’s what Steve, their owner, has to say about the challenges of starting up a cigar brand in Canada:
“There are a number of cigar distributors that distribute other cigar brands in Canada, Cuban mostly; Dominion Cigar is the only company tackling launching its own developed brand Canada wide. It’s been one major battle every step of the way, jumping through red tape hoops the Canadian Federal and Provincial Governments put in our way. I truly understand why there isn’t any other Canadian companies at this point, well and of course the absolute crazy tax structure the government has in place on tobacco products.”
My hat is off to you, sir! It seems like cigar companies always have interesting stories behind them, and Dominion is no exception. Dominion seems like it’s off to a great start with the Dominion Black Lotus. The Black Lotus is blended out of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobacco, and manufactured in Danli, Honduras. Ralph Montero of Alec Bradley had a hand in putting together this blend.
I was sent a couple of different sizes, the Toro and the Gordo, as well as a very nice complimentary ashtray. For this review I smoked the Toro since I’m more comfortable with this format than the 60-ring gauge Gordo.
Steve generously provided a beautiful Dominion ashtray along with two cigars to give away to one of our readers. Just leave a comment on this post to enter the competition. That’s it! We’ll announce the winner in one week.

Appearance : [rating:5/5]
The wrapper is a mottled medium brown with a bit of tooth and an oily sheen. There’s a nice double cap, and only a few fine veins. It feels quite firm, almost too firm, which has me a little bit anxious about the draw. The brand is a beautiful, eye-catching gold and blue design with the Black Lotus icon. The pre-light aroma is musty and earthy with a hint of sweet hay.
Construction : [rating:4.5/5]
What a pleasant surprise. The first draw is just fine, and none of the other draws feel tight either. Construction is beautiful all around with a razor sharp burn and very little need for touch-ups. The ash builds up and hangs on. There are literally no flaws except that I needed to relight the cigar in the end of the second third.
Flavor : [rating:4.25/5] (4.25)
The flavors are creamy, spicy, and peppery, all nicely balanced. At times the pepper is intense, but never overkill. During the middle third, the flavors transition with the spice dropping down substantially. I keep expecting those earthy notes I smelled on pre-light to come through, but they don’t, though the sweet hay is there, woven in with the rest in a very well-melded way. The flavors become salty and there is a hint of anise—but also something sour, and not in a good way like tasty citrus—just sour and unpleasant. Thankfully this is a brief phase before the cigar morphs back into more pleasant territory. The earthiness finally comes through in the last third, and the nuts take front and center stage. The spiciness is still there, but it’s way in the background now.
Overall Rating : [rating:4.5/5]
I can’t say anything yet about the value of this cigar, since I don’t know what it will be retailing at. You can purchase it at select retailers in Canada right now (it was released in October 2014), but you still can’t buy it anywhere else. It is expected to hit stores in Germany early next year, and release later in 2015 in the United States. I will be interested to see what it sells for; it’s certainly a delightful stogie and I look forward to my chance to smoke another. Aside from that brief sour interlude in the middle third (which may have been a fluke), this is a pretty good cigar. Complex flavors, beautiful construction, and a promising foray into the cigar world by a new Canadian brand. Definitely try one of these if you get a chance!

I’m not usually one for a spicy smoke, I don’t know what it is, but they sit very heavily on my palate. This sounds like an interesting smoke though, except for the sour notes in the middle.

Thank you so much for the review and giveaway. I’m really interested in these. I’ve been doing cigar fetish photos and have been searching high and low for a good cigar to use. These sound great and look really fat.
Do you happen to have a suggestion for a mild, big and fat cigar? Thank you, Lori

These are great cigars. A buddy and I met Steve at The Rocky Mountain Smokeout near Banff AB in October and had the chance to buy one of the first boxes of Gordo’s. Enjoyed one this afternoon and can’t say enough about the brand and it’s founder. Canada had many cigar producers years ago in a Southern Ontario but they all disappeared long ago. CheapSmokes Canada in Alberta sells them. Worth the effort!

This makes me think of when I was a kid, I remember seeing tobacco fields all over north east Victoria, Australia, in the shadow of Mt Bogong. Now they are all gone.

Good on Dominian for producing this brand, hopefully we see more interesting brands popping up in unexpected places! Cheers – Chris

Very flattering review. Sounds like something I’d enjoy. Not at Canadian cigar prices though.

If your ever in Niagara falls Canada there’s a shop called cigar experience that carries them.
