Inside the July 2026 Platinum Cigar Subscription Box — Five Cigars Worth Knowing
Posted on July 22 2026
July 2026's Platinum box ships five cigars: the El Mago The James Avenue Habano, Stolen Throne Revelry, Davidoff Puro Dominicano, Bunny Droppings Anti-Drama Drama Club, and Somm BDX. This month pairs three of the same boutique standouts found in July's Gold box with two Platinum-exclusive additions — a limited-run Ecuadorian Habano robusto gordo and a sommelier-inspired Mexican San Andrés smoke — with prices running from $11.22 to $23.77 per stick.

What Is the Platinum Cigar Subscription?
Platinum is one of Luxury Cigar Club's premium monthly cigar subscription tiers, priced at $50.95 a month. It sits above the entry-level Core and value-focused Gold boxes, alongside Palladium, and just below the higher-priced Sapphire and flagship Diamond tiers. That positioning shows in the box itself: five cigars instead of three, with more room for limited releases and higher-end blends.
July's Platinum box builds on the same El Mago, Davidoff, and Bunny Droppings cigars featured in this month's Gold box, then adds two more: a limited-run Stolen Throne release and a sommelier-inspired Somm BDX. That mix of familiar favorites and new limited releases is what makes stepping up from Gold to Platinum worth considering for members who want a bigger box each month. If you've read our Davidoff Cigars Guide, you already know why the Puro Dominicano alone is worth the step up.
The Full July 2026 Platinum Selection
El Mago The James Avenue Habano — Box Pressed Toro (6'' × 54)
Rolled at the acclaimed MGE Cigars factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, the El Mago The James Avenue Habano showcases an undisclosed Habano wrapper over a Criollo binder and Nicaraguan fillers. Named after the historic James Hotel in Miami Beach, it pays tribute to founder Nick Fusco's family legacy.
The medium-plus blend opens with cedar and earth before developing notes of leather, espresso, and black pepper as the smoke progresses. At $11.22 per stick, it's the most approachable cigar in this month's Platinum lineup. As in July's Gold box, it pairs nicely with a straightforward cup of coffee or a light rum for an easygoing start to the lineup.
Strength: Medium+ | Wrapper: Habano | Size: Box Pressed Toro 6'' × 54 | Price: $11.22 per stick (sold in 5-packs)

Stolen Throne Revelry — Robusto Gordo (5'' × 54)
Created as a bolder evolution of one of Stolen Throne's most celebrated blends, Revelry turns up the strength while preserving the balance and complexity that define the brand. An Ecuadorian Habano wrapper surrounds Nicaraguan binder and filler, with layered notes of cedar, roasted nuts, espresso, baking spice, and black pepper.
Limited to just 10,000 cigars, Revelry is a fitting showcase of Stolen Throne's boutique approach to blending, and exactly the kind of limited release that separates a Platinum box from an entry-level one. At $13.26 per stick, it's worth grabbing before this run sells out. The baking spice and espresso notes make it a strong match for a spiced rum or a glass of bourbon.
Strength: Medium+ | Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano | Size: Robusto Gordo 5'' × 54 | Price: $13.26 per stick (sold in 5-packs)
Davidoff Puro Dominicano — Corona Larga (5¾'' × 44)
The Davidoff Puro Dominicano celebrates the Dominican Republic's extraordinary tobacco heritage, crafted entirely from tobaccos grown across six distinct Dominican terroirs and aged for a combined 32 years. As the newest addition to the Black Band Collection, it delivers evolving notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, cream, oak, and subtle spice.
The Corona Larga format lets the blend unfold slowly, showcasing the remarkable depth achievable from a true Dominican puro. At $23.77 per stick, it's the priciest cigar in the box — and the one most worth slowing down for. As with the same cigar in July's Gold box, it rewards pairing with something equally complex — a dark rum or aged bourbon alongside the dried fruit and cocoa.
Strength: Full | Wrapper: Dominican Yamasá | Size: Corona Larga 5¾'' × 44 | Price: $23.77 per stick (sold in 5-packs)

Bunny Droppings Anti-Drama Drama Club — Torpedo (6¼'' × 52)
Bunny Droppings may embrace the absurd, but the cigars are anything but a joke. Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, Anti-Drama Drama Club pairs a stalk-cut Mexican San Andrés wrapper with a Dominican Olor binder and a blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Brazilian fillers.
Rich notes of cocoa, oak, raisins, espresso, and a touch of chili pepper build throughout the smoke, delivering a medium-plus profile with exceptional complexity and balance. At $12.24 per stick, it punches well above its price. The chili pepper finish plays well with a spiced rum or a bold red wine.
Strength: Medium+ | Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés | Size: Torpedo 6¼'' × 52 | Price: $12.24 per stick (sold in 5-packs)

Somm BDX — Robusto (5'' × 50)
Inspired by Bordeaux and created through the lens of a former sommelier, Somm BDX applies wine-blending philosophy to premium tobacco. An aged Mexican San Andrés wrapper surrounds tobaccos from Nicaragua, Honduras, and Mexico.
The result is a medium-bodied profile of dark chocolate, earth, dried fruit, nuts, and subtle white pepper — the kind of nuanced, food-and-drink-pairing cigar that rewards a slower, more deliberate smoke. At $14.14 per stick, it's a distinctive way to close out the box. True to its wine-inspired name, it's worth trying alongside an actual glass of Bordeaux to see how the pairing philosophy holds up.
Strength: Medium | Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés | Size: Robusto 5'' × 50 | Price: $14.14 per stick (sold in 5-packs)
What Makes This Month's Box Stand Out
July's Platinum box is a masterclass in range: an easygoing everyday toro, a limited-run boutique release capped at 10,000 cigars, a 32-year-aged Dominican puro, a playfully-branded but seriously blended torpedo, and a sommelier's take on tobacco. Five cigars, five distinct occasions — and two of them (Revelry and Somm BDX) you won't find in the Gold box this month.
If you already have July's Gold box lined up, the Stolen Throne Revelry and Somm BDX are the two cigars that make the step up to Platinum worthwhile — both are exclusive to this tier this month.

The Verdict
The standout of July's Platinum box is the Davidoff Puro Dominicano — at $23.77 per stick, 32 years of aged Dominican tobacco is hard to argue with. But the Stolen Throne Revelry at $13.26 per stick is this month's must-grab: a limited run of just 10,000 cigars means it won't be around long.
