OZ Family Cigar Karatoba

OZ Family Cigar Karatoba

Discover the bold and layered Karatoba, the latest creation from OZ Family Cigars, and the vision of industry veteran Tim Ozgener. Crafted at the renowned Nicaraguan American Cigars S.A. (NACSA) factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, Karatoba stands out as the strongest and most complex smoke in the OZ Family portfolio—a true testament to blending tradition with modern sophistication.

Blend and Construction

Karatoba features a dark Sumatra wrapper, sourced from Ecuador, draped over a sturdy Nicaraguan binder. The core is a carefully curated blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers, resulting in a medium-to-full-bodied cigar that delivers a rich, evolving tasting experience with each draw.

Flavor Profile

Prepare for an intense journey of flavor. Karatoba opens with bold spices and transitions into deep, savory notes reminiscent of hearty stewed meat and slow-cooked red sauce. The natural sweetness and subtle earthiness of the Sumatra wrapper provide balance, while a hint of maple syrup lingers on the finish. This is a cigar that captivates the palate from start to finish.

Packaging and Branding

Karatoba arrives in elegant 21-count boxes, each cigar softly pressed for a comfortable hand feel and an even burn. The name itself—Karatoba—is a fusion of “Kara,” meaning “dark” in Turkish, and “Toba,” referencing Indonesia’s volcanic Lake Toba, symbolizing an eruption of flavor and depth.

Origin and Factory

Rolled at NACSA in Estelí, Nicaragua, Karatoba benefits from the exceptional craftsmanship and expertise of one of the region’s most respected factories, ensuring a premium smoking experience for discerning enthusiasts.

Whether you’re seeking a powerful, memorable smoke or a new addition to your collection, Karatoba by OZ Family Cigars delivers complexity, strength, and a truly unforgettable profile.
