Cigar Clowns Festivus

Every December brings its familiar rituals, but Festivus has always appealed to those who enjoy something a little off-center. Cigar Clowns embrace that spirit with their annual release, turning the holiday into an excuse for big flavor and bigger personality. For the fifth anniversary of the Festivus project, they deliver a cigar that leans fully into the brand’s playful, loud, and flavor-chasing identity.

True to form, the blend remains a mystery. The cigar arrives in a single 6" × 54 toro format, clad in a textured Colorado red wrapper with its origins kept under lock and key. Beneath it lies an undisclosed core that showcases what Cigar Clowns fans have come to expect: heavy smoke output, sharp construction, and a profile designed to grab attention from the first draw. Festivus has become an annual calling card for the brand, each release taking its own path but never straying far from the Clowns’ signature swagger.

Once lit, the 2025 Festivus cigar jumps straight into action. White pepper kicks things off, followed by baking spices, caramel kettle corn, and graham cracker. The profile deepens with dusty wood, roasted nuts, white chocolate, and a smooth sweetness reminiscent of butterscotch. Dense smoke, effortless draw, and full-flavored intensity round it out, making this edition one of those rare holiday traditions actually worth attending.
