Ferio Tego is the cigar company Michael Herklots and Brendon Scott launched in 2021, when it acquired the Timeless and Metropolitan brands, both formerly part of Nat Sherman. Partner factories make its cigars by hand in the Dominican Republic (Quesada), Nicaragua (Plasencia) and Honduras (Agroindustrias Diadema). Strength runs from mellow to full. The Metropolitan Connecticut typically shows cedar and cream, the Metropolitan Maduro dark chocolate and cedar, and the medium-bodied Metropolitan Habano cedar and pepper. Timeless Panamericana is a full-bodied, Nicaraguan-made blend of Central American tobaccos under an Ecuadorian wrapper, with typical spice, cedar, caramel and cocoa notes, and Summa is a full-bodied, Dominican-made blend with darker, buttery flavors. For a first smoke, start with the mellow Ferio Tego Metropolitan Connecticut. If you want more depth, try the Ferio Tego Metropolitan Maduro next.

Frequently asked questions about Ferio Tego Cigars
Who makes Ferio Tego cigars, and where are they made?
Ferio Tego was founded in 2021 by Michael Herklots and Brendon Scott, both formerly of Nat Sherman. When it launched, the company acquired the Timeless and Metropolitan brands. Partner factories make the cigars by hand: Quesada Cigars in the Dominican Republic, Plasencia Cigars in Nicaragua and Agroindustrias Diadema in Honduras. Quesada makes the Metropolitan Connecticut and Maduro, Plasencia the Metropolitan Habano, and Diadema the Metropolitan Host and Host Maduro.
How strong are Ferio Tego cigars?
It depends on the line. The Metropolitan Connecticut, Maduro and Host blends are described as mellow to medium. The all-Nicaraguan Metropolitan Habano is meant to be medium-bodied. Timeless Panamericana and Ferio Tego Summa are full-bodied blends. Choose by the individual blend rather than treating the whole brand as one strength.
Which Ferio Tego cigar should I try first, and how do the lines differ?
For a mellow start, try the Metropolitan Connecticut. It is a Dominican blend with a Connecticut shade wrapper and typical cedar and cream notes. The Metropolitan Maduro uses a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper for dark chocolate and cedar, and the Metropolitan Habano adds cedar and pepper. If you want a fuller cigar, the Timeless Panamericana typically shows spice, cedar, caramel and cocoa. Summa leans toward darker flavors with a buttery note.
