Alright my Stogamaniacs, we’ve got some fresh news hitting the humidor—and this one’s bringing a little heat with it.
Forged Cigar Co. is expanding the El Rey del Mundo Appointment line with the introduction of Appointment Brazil, a full-time addition that builds off the momentum of the original Appointment release from 2025. This marks the second cigar in the series, and from the looks of it, they’re turning the dial up just right.
Now let’s talk about what’s under the hood. Appointment Brazil is wrapped in a Brazilian Arapiraca leaf, grown in the Alagoas region—a wrapper known for its rich, earthy character and natural sweetness. Underneath that, you’ve got Nicaraguan binder and fillers, bringing that familiar spice and structure we all love. The cigars are being produced out of Honduras at HATSA, so you already know the construction should be on point.
What really stands out here is the intent behind the blend. Forged is positioning this as a bolder extension of the Appointment line, but without losing that everyday, grab-and-go accessibility. That’s a sweet spot a lot of brands try to hit—but not all of them nail.
As far as sizes, they’re keeping it classic and versatile:
Robusto (5 x 50)
Toro (6 x 54)
Gordo (5 x 60)
Price-wise, this is where it gets even more interesting. You’re looking at a range between $8.79 and $9.49 per cigar, depending on the size—making this a very approachable option for something that’s aiming to deliver a richer, fuller profile. Each vitola will come packaged in 20-count boxes, perfect for the shop shelves or your personal stash.
According to Forged, Appointment Brazil is set to start shipping in April 2026, so keep your eyes peeled at your local brick-and-mortar.
Final Thoughts from Tampa Stogie Steve
I like where this is headed. You’ve got a Brazilian wrapper bringing that deep flavor profile, Nicaraguan guts for balance and punch, and a price point that doesn’t scare anyone off. If this blend delivers the way it’s designed, this could easily become a regular rotation cigar for a lot of smokers out there.
Stay locked in, because as soon as I get my hands on one… you already know a full review is coming.
Stay smokin’, my friends 💨🔥
