Brand Heritage
The Hot Cake series has an impressive lineage dating back to 2016 when HVC released the limited edition Pan Caliente (which translates to “Hot Cake”). In 2020, the cigar entered regular production as Hot Cake with a San Andres wrapper. The line expanded in 2023 with the Golden Hot Cake featuring an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper, and now continues its evolution with this exceptional Broadleaf edition.
Limited Availability
These cigars began shipping to retailers on February 14, 2025, and with only 350 boxes produced of each size, they won’t last long. The extremely limited production ensures exclusivity and showcases HVC’s commitment to quality over quantity.
Don’t miss your opportunity to experience this masterpiece from HVC Cigars—a perfect balance of tradition, innovation, and exceptional flavor that demonstrates why HVC continues to be one of the most respected boutique manufacturers in the premium cigar industry.

A small cigar that punches well above it’s weight. Initially a blast of pepper and leather which soon fade into earthiness, especially on the long follow, and subtle spices. Occasional notes of a birthday cake sweetness appear and, at the end, notes of charred beef. If you’re looking for a cigar with big flavor, give this one a shot.
