The Flux Capacitor 1985 Edition represents the pinnacle of vintage tobacco craftsmanship. Each puff transports you through layers of complexity that only emerge after years of patient aging. The initial draw greets you with chocolate truffles and aged leather, complemented by creamed honey and espresso notes that dance with nutmeg and sweet black tea.
As you progress into the second third, the profile evolves into white chocolate territory, introducing elements of cinnamon stick, light brown sugar, and unexpected hints of dark beer. The cardamom and licorice notes add an exotic twist, while salted caramel provides a luxurious sweetness that balances the full-strength character.
The final third showcases the depth of these aged tobaccos with dark chocolate intensity, punctuated by red pepper spice and clove. Maple wood undertones merge with toasted marshmallow sweetness, creating a dessert-like finish that lingers long after the last draw. This masterpiece demonstrates why vintage tobaccos command such reverence among connoisseurs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Flux Capacitor 1985 Edition so special?
This ultra-limited release features tobaccos aged between 9-14 years, creating extraordinary complexity and smoothness that can only be achieved through extended aging. With only 370 cigars produced, it represents a rare opportunity to experience vintage tobacco at its finest.
How does the flavor profile develop throughout the smoke?
The cigar transitions through three distinct phases: starting with chocolate truffles and aged leather, evolving to white chocolate and cinnamon in the middle, and finishing with dark chocolate and toasted marshmallow notes.
What is the ideal pairing for this cigar?
The complex flavor profile pairs beautifully with aged spirits like bourbon or single malt scotch, espresso-based coffee drinks, or quality dark chocolate to complement the rich cocoa notes.
How should I store these limited edition cigars?
Store at 65-70% humidity in a dedicated section of your humidor. Given the extensive aging already applied to the tobaccos, they’re ready to smoke immediately but will continue to develop nuanced flavors with additional rest.
Is this suitable for newer cigar enthusiasts?
While the full-bodied, full-strength profile may challenge beginners, the exceptional smoothness from the aged tobaccos makes it more approachable than typical full-strength offerings. Best enjoyed after a meal.
What’s the significance of the “1985 Edition” name?
The name pays homage to the flux capacitor from Back to the Future, reflecting how these vintage tobaccos transport smokers back in time through flavors from a bygone era of tobacco cultivation.
How long should I expect the smoking experience to last?
The 6.5 x 46 skinny toro format typically provides 75-90 minutes of smoking time, allowing you to fully appreciate the evolution of flavors through all three thirds.
Can I age these cigars further?
While the tobaccos are already extensively aged (9-14 years), these cigars can benefit from additional rest in your humidor, potentially developing even more refined and integrated flavors over time.

A quality cigar – burn line is flawless, strength is medium, and flavours are those of aged tobacco; smooth with no peppery bite, an undertone of cedar and oak. Overall, it is what a proper ‘aged’ cigar should taste like – the only reason I can’t give it five stars is that it lacks a certain ‘wow’ factor – it is very good, but it has no ‘special something’ beyond being an approachable way to try vintage tobacco that has been well-aged and rolled.

I know there’s some controversy to EZs limited runs, but that aside I’ve never smoked one I didn’t enjoy. This new offering is medium bodied with plenty of flavor, and phenomenal construction. Some of the coolest packaging out there, too!
