Inside the June 2026 Sapphire Cigar Subscription Box — Five Cigars Worth Knowing

What Is the Sapphire Cigar Subscription?

Sapphire is one of Luxury Cigar Club's premium tiers, priced at $69.99 a month. On the price ladder it sits above the entry-level Core and Gold boxes and above Platinum and Palladium, making it one of the higher-end tiers in the lineup — just below the flagship Diamond box. Where Core and Gold introduce members to the world of cigar of the month clubs, Sapphire is built for enthusiasts who already know what they like and want a monthly cigar subscription that leans into rarity, boutique blends, and cigars that are harder to find at retail. If you're comparing a cigar club subscription against buying singles yourself, our guide to how a Luxury Cigar Club subscription stacks up against the alternatives is a useful primer.

The Full June 2026 Sapphire Selection

Espinosa 601 La Bomba Warhead 12

The twelfth release in Espinosa's acclaimed annual Warhead series arrives with all the intensity that has made the line a favorite among seasoned enthusiasts. Built around a Nicaraguan Broadleaf wrapper over an all-Nicaraguan binder and filler, this full-strength Toro (6 1/8" x 58) delivers rich notes of dark chocolate, espresso, earth, and black pepper. Bold and unapologetic from first light to final ash, it stays remarkably balanced, proving that power and refinement can coexist. It's ACTIVE in our store at $75.75 for a 5-pack, working out to $15.15 per stick — see the Espinosa 601 La Bomba Warhead 12.

Wildfire Fault Line

Wildfire built its reputation on a "one-and-done" drop model, releasing a blend once and retiring it rather than running it indefinitely, and Fault Line is a prime example of that approach. Dressed in a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over an Indonesian Sumatra binder, this medium-bodied 5 1/2" x 50 vitola unfolds notes of dark cocoa, earth, black pepper, and a subtle underlying sweetness that develops as it burns. It's dynamic without ever losing its composure. Want the backstory on why Wildfire only makes each blend once? We covered it in our piece on Wildfire's one-and-done drop model. Fault Line is ACTIVE at $70.70 for a 5-pack — $14.14 per stick — via the Wildfire Fault Line product page.

Casdagli Cottontail

Revived from a rare figurado shape dating back to the 1950s, the Cottontail reflects Jeremy Casdagli's dedication to both tradition and craftsmanship. Blended by Hendrik Kelner Jr., this medium-bodied release pairs a Dominican Cotui wrapper with a Dominican binder and a filler blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan, American, and Peruvian tobaccos, finishing at a distinctive 5" x 52-64 figurado. Notes of vanilla, cedar, coffee, and oak are complemented by a natural sweetness and a touch of spice. Rich yet remarkably balanced, it's the kind of cigar collectors seek out specifically for its shape and pedigree. This limited release is ACTIVE at $122.40 for a 5-pack, or $24.48 per stick — find it as the Casdagli Traditional Line Cottontail Limited Release.

Apostate No. 8 The Endowment

Representing the culmination of Apostate's blending philosophy, The Endowment was crafted to showcase depth, balance, and complexity in equal measure. It pairs an Ecuador Connecticut Desflorado wrapper with a USA binder and a filler blend of Dominican, Mexican, and American tobaccos in a medium-bodied Toro (6" x 52). Notes of cream, cedar, baking spice, and natural sweetness emerge in distinct stages, revealing new dimensions as the smoke unfolds. Apostate No. 8 The Endowment is not currently available in our online store, so consider this one a preview of a blend worth tracking down as it becomes available — we'll link it here the moment it lands in the catalog.

Angelenos Robusto Gordo 54

Crafted at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia., the Angelenos Robusto Gordo 54 delivers a layered smoking experience built around an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and Dominican tobaccos. This medium-bodied 5 1/2" x 54 vitola opens with notes of angel food cake sweetness, citrus, and black pepper before developing into a richer, more savory profile through the back half. Complex yet balanced, it stays engaging from first light to final ash. Angelenos is ACTIVE at $74.75 for a 5-pack — $14.95 per stick — via the Angelenos Limited Edition product page (select the Robusto Gordo 54 vitola).

What Makes This Month's Box Stand Out

June's Sapphire box leans into range rather than repetition. You get a full-strength Nicaraguan puro in the Espinosa Warhead 12, a boutique one-and-done release from Wildfire, a historic figurado revival from Casdagli, a preview of an unreleased Apostate blend, and an approachable, dessert-forward Angelenos to round things out. That spread is exactly what a monthly cigar subscription at this tier should deliver: enough variety to keep a seasoned smoker's rotation interesting, anchored by at least one cigar — this month, the Cottontail — that's genuinely hard to find outside a cigar club subscription like this one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cigar of the month club?

A cigar of the month club is a recurring subscription that ships a curated selection of cigars to your door on a set schedule, typically monthly. Luxury Cigar Club's boxes are built around a theme or strength profile for that month and include tasting notes, so members can explore new blends without hunting them down individually.

How does a monthly cigar subscription from Luxury Cigar Club work?

You choose a tier — from Core up through Diamond — and each month LCC ships that tier's box featuring cigars selected for the month's theme. Boxes include vitola, wrapper, and tasting-note details on an info card, and members can manage, pause, or upgrade their subscription online at any time.

What cigars were in the June 2026 Sapphire box?

The June 2026 Sapphire box included the Espinosa 601 La Bomba Warhead 12, Wildfire Fault Line, Casdagli Cottontail, Apostate No. 8 The Endowment, and Angelenos Robusto Gordo 54 — five cigars spanning full and medium strength profiles.

What's the difference between a cigar club subscription and buying samplers one-off?

A one-off sampler is a single purchase with a fixed cigar lineup. A cigar club subscription like Sapphire recurs monthly, brings new cigars each time — often including limited or boutique releases that aren't sold as standalone samplers — and typically comes with member pricing or perks that a one-time sampler doesn't.

Can I choose the specific cigars in my Sapphire subscription box?

Sapphire boxes are curated by the Luxury Cigar Club team each month rather than built à la carte. That curation is part of the appeal: it's how members get access to rare and limited releases, like this month's Casdagli Cottontail, that they might not have picked or found on their own.

How much does the Sapphire cigar subscription cost per month?

Sapphire is priced at $69.99 per month, placing it above the Core, Gold, Platinum, and Palladium tiers and below the flagship Diamond tier in Luxury Cigar Club's lineup.

The Verdict

If you only have time to seek out one cigar from this month's box, make it the Casdagli Cottontail. It's the rarest cigar in the lineup — a figurado shape with real pedigree, blended by Hendrik Kelner Jr., and a limited release at that — and at $24.48 per stick it's priced accordingly for what you're getting. Grab it directly via the Casdagli Traditional Line Cottontail Limited Release page, or subscribe to Sapphire to have cigars like it land on your doorstep every month.
