The idea behind ADVANCE!
ADVANCE! is built for life’s milestones: promotions earned, goals achieved, and moments worth marking properly. It’s designed to be approachable for newer smokers, but still satisfying for seasoned enthusiasts — whether you’re sharing a box with friends or taking a quiet hour to yourself.
Vitola
- Robusto
- Size: 5" × 50 ring gauge
- Strength: Medium‑full
- Smoke time: 40–60 minutes
The build
- Wrapper: Nicaraguan Habano Maduro
- Binder: Honduran Corojo
- Filler: Proprietary blend of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Honduran leaves
Profile: A dense, wrapper‑forward richness (cocoa, espresso, dark sugar) with a crisp spice line. The Robusto format tends to feel a touch stronger: flavours are more concentrated and the smoke runs warmer.
Pairing ideas
Drinks (top picks)
- Bourbon (or high‑rye bourbon): vanilla/caramel smooths the pepper and makes the maduro feel luxurious
- Aged dark rum: molasses and dried fruit that echo the wrapper’s sweetness
- Stout / porter: roasted malt mirrors espresso/chocolate and keeps the experience cohesive
- Coffee: cappuccino/flat white for rounder; espresso for bolder and drier
- Black tea (strong breakfast tea): cleans the palate and keeps the spice honest
- Tawny port: nutty sweetness and dried fruit play well with the Robusto’s intensity
