The June 2026 Palladium box is one of those months that reminds you why a top-tier cigar subscription is worth the splurge. Five full-and-medium-bodied releases, several of them limited editions, arrive together in a single shipment — the kind of lineup that would take weeks of hunting to assemble on your own. Below is everything inside this month's luxury cigar club selection, with verified pricing, tasting notes, and where to find each smoke.

At a Glance

What Is the Palladium Cigar Subscription?

Palladium is the top tier of the Luxury Cigar Club lineup, built for enthusiasts who want the rarest and most sought-after cigars each month rather than everyday sticks. Where our entry tiers focus on approachable crowd-pleasers, the Palladium monthly cigar subscription reaches for limited editions, allocated releases, and bold full-bodied blends from the makers serious smokers follow. Every box is curated to deliver variety in strength, wrapper, and country of origin, so even within a single month you get a genuine tasting flight rather than five versions of the same idea. If you are new to the format, our explainer on what a cigar of the month club is walks through how the cigar club experience works from sign-up to your first shipment.

The Full June 2026 Palladium Selection

Espinosa 601 La Bomba Warhead 12

The latest chapter in Espinosa's acclaimed annual Warhead series arrives with all the intensity that made the line a favorite among seasoned enthusiasts. Built around a Nicaraguan Broadleaf wrapper over an all-Nicaraguan blend, the Warhead 12 delivers rich notes of dark chocolate, espresso, earth, and black pepper. It is bold and unapologetic from first light to final ash, yet it stays remarkably balanced — proof that power and refinement can share the same cigar. This is a box-pressed Toro (6 1/8" x 58), a substantial format that gives the blend room to build. At $15.15 per stick (5-pack at $75.75), it is one of the most rewarding power smokes of the month.

Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro

The next chapter in Room 101's beloved Tobacconaut saga arrives in a darker, bolder form. Crafted by AJ Fernandez as a Nicaraguan puro, this Maduro expression builds on the legacy of the original while exploring richer territory. Notes of earth, espresso, and dark cocoa unfold throughout, creating a profile that is both powerful and refined. Balanced despite its intensity, the Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro is a deeply satisfying smoke worthy of its cult following. The Toro (6" x 52) in this box runs $11.50 per stick (5-pack at $57.52) — the best value in the lineup.

Gallero Maduro

Handcrafted in Tamboril, Dominican Republic, the Gallero Robusto Gordo Maduro features a beautifully aged Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a blend of Dominican, Indonesian, and Nicaraguan tobaccos. Notes of toasted nuts, cedar, molasses-like sweetness, and black pepper create a profile that is both rich and indulgent. Full-bodied yet balanced, the Gallero rewards a measured pace with layers of complexity and a finish that lingers long after the final draw. This Robusto Gordo (5" x 52) is a Palladium-exclusive treat — it is not currently available in our online store, so the box may be your only chance to try it this season.

Stolen Throne Preakness 150

Created to commemorate the 150th running of the legendary Preakness Stakes, this limited release pairs an Ecuadorian Habano Claro wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and fillers, crafted at the Rojas Cigar Factory. Notes of cream, baking spice, fruit, and cedar unfold throughout, creating a profile that is both elegant and engaging. It is the medium-bodied entry of the box and a welcome change of pace between the heavier blends — refined yet full of character. The Corona (6" x 46) comes in at $14.14 per stick (5-pack at $70.70).

Lampert Baba Yaga

True to Lampert's reputation for rarity and craftsmanship, the Baba Yaga arrives as a mysterious limited release produced at Tabacos de Costa Rica. Wrapped in a silky Ecuadorian Habano leaf over an undisclosed blend, it reveals notes of dark earth, leather, toasted espresso, and black pepper. Rich, complex, and unapologetically bold, it delivers impressive depth while holding a refined balance — a cigar that rewards smokers who appreciate both character and intrigue. The Toro (6" x 52) is the most premium stick in the box at $17.34 per stick (5-pack at $86.70). Shop the Lampert Baba Yaga →

What Makes This Month's Box Stand Out

The June Palladium box is anchored by limited and hard-to-find releases — the Warhead 12, the Preakness 150, and the Baba Yaga are all special editions you would otherwise have to chase across multiple retailers. The strength curve is the other story: four of the five cigars are full-bodied, but they express that power in very different ways, from the cocoa-and-espresso depth of the Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro to the leather-and-earth intrigue of the Baba Yaga. The Stolen Throne Preakness 150 threads a medium-bodied needle through the middle, giving you somewhere to land on a lighter afternoon. For anyone weighing whether a cigar subscription box beats buying singles, this month is a clean illustration of the value: assembling these five on your own would mean tracking down several limited runs the moment they dropped.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cigar of the month club?

A cigar of the month club is a subscription that ships a curated selection of premium cigars to your door on a recurring basis. Each month's box is hand-picked, so members discover new blends, brands, and limited editions without having to research and source every cigar themselves.

What cigars were in the June 2026 Palladium box?

The June 2026 Palladium box contained the Espinosa 601 La Bomba Warhead 12, Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro, Gallero Maduro, Stolen Throne Preakness 150, and Lampert Baba Yaga — a mix of full-bodied limited editions plus one elegant medium-bodied smoke.

How does a cigar subscription work?

You choose a tier — Palladium is our top tier — and we ship a fresh, curated box on your chosen cadence. There is no work on your end beyond enjoying the cigars; we handle the sourcing, the curation, and making sure each shipment arrives in great condition.

Is the Palladium monthly cigar subscription worth it?

If you gravitate toward limited editions and full-bodied blends, Palladium delivers strong value. This month's per-stick prices ranged from $11.50 to $17.34 for cigars that are frequently allocated or hard to find, and the curation saves you the hunt.

Can I buy these cigars individually?

Most of them, yes. The Espinosa 601 La Bomba Warhead 12, Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro, Stolen Throne Preakness 150, and Lampert Baba Yaga are all available in our online store while supplies last. The Gallero Maduro is a box exclusive this month and is not currently listed online.

The Verdict

Every cigar in the June 2026 Palladium box earns its place, but the standout is the Lampert Baba Yaga — a rare, beautifully constructed limited release whose layered notes of dark earth, leather, and toasted espresso reward slow, attentive smoking. At $17.34 per stick, it is the most premium cigar in the box and exactly the kind of allocated gem the Palladium cigar club exists to deliver. Shop the Lampert Baba Yaga →
