Introducing Casdagli Brothers of the Sabre Forrader: A Blend that Pushes Boundaries and Embodies Aggressive Sophistication
When it comes to cigars that push the envelope in terms of complexity, taste, and historical relevance, the Casdagli Brothers of the Sabre Forrader stands in a league of its own. Named in tribute to the audacious Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, famously dubbed “General Forwards” by his troops, this cigar captures the essence of bold strategy and fearless leadership. Created in collaboration with the Kelner Boutique Factory in the Dominican Republic, this masterpiece demonstrates the pinnacle of blending skill and commitment to innovation.
Uniquely, the Brothers of the Sabre Forrader bring a rare infusion of Zimbabwean tobacco to the cigar world, an audacious move that results in a smoking experience unlike any other. Though Zimbabwe is predominantly known as a tobacco grower for cigarettes, this exotic addition adds an extraordinary layer to the cigar’s profile. Coupled with tobacco from the Dominican Republic and the U.S.A, and encased in a sumptuous Ecuadorian wrapper, each puff is an expedition into a diversified terrain of flavors and aromas.
The Dominican Republic binder provides a consistent burn and augments the complexity, harmonizing the distinct attributes of the filler tobaccos. With every draw, anticipate a full-bodied symphony of taste notes, reflecting the cigar’s multicultural composition and its tribute to a military leader renowned for audacious strategies.
As part of our esteemed Brothers of the Sabre series, the Forrader joins its companions in offering cigars that are not just smokes but are history lessons wrapped in luxury. Each cigar in this ambitious lineup represents a foray into a different facet of military brilliance and complex blending, captured in smoke.
In summary, the Brothers of the Sabre Forrader is more than a cigar—it’s an experience that rewards the brave and satisfies the discerning. A forward-looking blend that pays homage to historical audacity, this cigar offers a smoke as aggressive and sophisticated as the general it’s named after. Seize the opportunity to be part of an exclusive circle of aficionados who recognize the value of a well-crafted, history-infused smoke. Order yours today and take a step “Forrader” in your cigar journey.

After smoking both the Brave and Forrader blends, I can confidently say that both are very very high quality sticks. This Forrader is a bit bolder with more notes of cedar and red pepper (especially on the retrohale). The Brave is a bit more nuanced and has more of a baking spice on the retrohale.
I don’t think you can go wrong with either, but if you like bolder smokes, this Forrader is more in your wheelhouse. I personally lean slightly towards the Brave since I lean on the lighter/subtle side of the spectrum but both are great blends

Fantastic cigar. Perfect medium full strength through, perfect blend of spicy, savory, and sweet. The construction was great, draw, burn, etc. I was really considering grabbing a box, I liked it that much, and then Oxford sent me one for renewing my membership. You guys absolutely rock, couldn’t be happier.

Much as its namesake was known to be, this cigar takes the lead and is absolutely all about demanding your attention – I would recommend a good mineral water (effervescent or non) with this and not anything else, as it very much has a wealth and diversity of flavours that I think would not really pair particularly well with anything – I am partial to coffee with my cigars, and I would not want to detract from this singular experience with my coffee!
Big espresso notes (hence no need for coffee), exotic spice (I presume this is the Zimbabwean tobacco), wood (cedar or oak), and a semi-sweet finish that I would most closely compare to semi-sweet chocolate chips that one might put into a home-made cookie. This is a very enjoyable cigar, and another fine addition to Casdagli’s portfolio.
Rated four out of five stars as while I believe this is excellent, it’s so demanding that I don’t feel it has the versatility to stand up to a cup of tea or coffee or anything else – it needs focus, no conversation with friends, and attentiveness. In the right place and time, it’s a five star cigar; I think for what most people do (sharing with friends alongside some kind of beverage) it’s so bold in its flavour (though not strength) that it will be almost distracting! A personal rating this is; I won’t disagree if others find it rates five stars.

Everything I am getting from Casdagli is just amazing, both the Costarrican and Dominican stuff. This cigar has bold flavors, not what you are expecting for a Dominican cigar. With some age, this cigar will be perfect but if you like full-body cigars go and buy some and smoke them right away.

Great cigar, no surprise. Construction and draw were both on point. I got coffee and a distinct floral note from this stick that I enjoyed. Glad Oxford sent me a box with my renewal.

The rare Zimbabwean tobacco certainly adds a unique smoky taste to the cigar. I can’t say it is to my liking, but the profile is different to everything else on the market. This cigar is quite strong, and its strength only grows as you progress. I will say it is a better smoke than the Brave line.

This cigar of the two new releases from the Brothers of the Sabre is more my speed. There was more complexity and stronger flavor notes of earthy chocolate and Ristretto (stronger espresso shot). Absolutely loved it. To say the least, I was extremely excited when I got a box full f Forrader as the Oxford Premiere Renewal Welcome package!!!

This new release is, yet again, another wonderful offering from Casdagli. I’m finding their latest offerings to be more towards the medium – full end of the boldness spectrum, and I like that. A little spice, a little sweet and a whole lot of nuanced complexity. Epic smoke, better when you can sit and focus on the flavours.
