Confirmed guests include the Eagles’ Mike Quick, Malcom Jenkins, Desean Jackson, and Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith, Jack Youngblood, and Terrell Davis. Sponsors include premium cigar makers Cohiba, Gurkha and Rocky Patel. While you may not be able to attend this exclusive event, you can still enjoy your favorite players' preferred cigars from the comfort of your own home. 

Dick Butkus, named the “ Most Feared Man in the Game” by SI In 1970, is a fan of CAO Brazilia. This is a full-bodied cigar with a dark Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper, from the Bahia region, and Nicaraguan binder and filler. CAO Brazilia is flavorful with deep layers of complexity, and a long and earthy finish.

Cohiba Robusto Natural has a Cameroon wrapper and is packed with filler tobaccos from Honduras, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua, leaving it a sweet and delicious cigar that is well worth your money and well worth trying out. Don Shula is a big fan of the Cuban Cohiba. 

Gurkha Grand Reserve Robusto features a premium Connecticut shade wrapper, and each cigar is infused with fine Louis XIII Cognac. This results in a unique smoke with a myriad of flavors present and a very pleasant finish. Not dipped, sprayed or injected, this secretive process is utterly unique, resulting in an extraordinarily mellow, subtle and delicious smoke with a refined taste that has not been duplicated by any other cigar maker. Each cigar is gorgeously presented under glass in crystal tubes, showcasing the beautiful Connecticut Shade wrapper. Also, each glass tube is characteristically hand-dipped in wax for a one-of-a-kind presentation.  

Rocky Patel's Royale Toro was awarded #5 cigar on Cigar Aficionado’s 2014 Cigar of the Year list with a 94 rating. The Royale Toro is hand-rolled and beautifully boxed pressed with a combination of Nicaraguan long-leaf filler blended with a unique twist; two contrasting binder leaves. The thick Connecticut Broadleaf supplies bold earthiness, meanwhile, the Connecticut Shade delivers a milder flavor. The complex blend is enveloped in an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper leaf. The Royale is a luscious, spicy cigar, with notes of cedar, roasted almonds, espresso and tons of earth flavors, with a hint of sweet chocolate. You can’t go wrong with this decadent cigar and cognac pairing. 

Enjoy these and other fine premium cigars from El Cigar Shop on the “Big Game Day” while rooting for your favorite team.
