For those not familiar with the “Cigar Game” tradition, it has a long history. The rivalry is officially dubbed “The Third Saturday in October,” and it’s an annual, spirited college football clash between the University of Alabama and University of Tennessee. The rivalry dates back to 1901, but since 1961, cigars play just as prominent a role as the teams themselves. 

The new cigar is an extension of OZ Family’s Karatoba blend, made in Estelí, Nicaragua, at the NACSA factory. It comes in a 6-by-56, soft-pressed toro.  It debuted last year in four sizes with a blend featuring a Sumatra-seed wrapper from Ecuador, Nicaraguan binder and filler tobacco from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
