Late in 2024, Vance Taylor launched Stoic Cigars. For those who might be unfamiliar with what Stoicism is, it is the philosophy of self-discipline and self-denial, in order to better one’s. An interesting view in a hobby that aligns more with a hedonistic lifestyle. However, there is an element of introspection that goes hand-in-hand when smoking cigars. It’s also a great way for cigar smokers to connect with the owner, Vance, by understanding something that is close to him.
Vance chose to go with Kelner Cigars S.A.S., a relative newcomer in terms of cigar factories, but has a pedigree unlike most in the industry. Klass Kelner worked with Vance on this first blend. The blend comes in four vitolas: The Justice (toro), Moderation (corona gorda), Courage (robusto), and Wisdom (churchill). The blend features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, over an Ecuadorian Habano binder, and fillers from the Dominican Republic, the USA, and an undisclosed filler from a South American country.
