The May 2026 Palladium box delivers five premium cigars spanning medium to full strength: the Tatuaje Cojonu 2015 Broadleaf, Lampert 1675 Edición Azul, Davidoff Puro Dominicana, Tradecraft Azorian, and Surpassion King of Battle. This month’s selection leans heavily into wrapper-forward blends — two Connecticut Broadleafs, two Ecuadorian wrappers, and a rare all-Dominican puro from Davidoff — with cigars priced from $13.13 to $14.40 per stick for those available in our store.

May 2026 Palladium — At a Glance

What Is the Palladium Cigar Subscription?

The Palladium tier is Luxury Cigar Club’s premium monthly cigar subscription, built for smokers who want something beyond the basics. Each month, members receive a hand-curated selection of cigars sourced directly from respected boutique and premium manufacturers.

May’s lineup was assembled with a deliberate lean toward wrapper-forward, full-strength smokes. Three of the five cigars come from Nicaraguan factories, while the Davidoff Puro Dominicana stands alone as a true Dominican expression — sourced from six distinct growing regions across the island.

The Full May 2026 Palladium Selection

Tatuaje Cojonu 2015 Broadleaf — Robusto Gordo (5’’ × 55)

Tatuaje’s Cojonu series has become one of the most sought-after limited releases in boutique cigar culture. The 2015 vintage is a “Missing Year” — released out of sequence in 2022, which only added to its appeal. The Broadleaf version wraps the same Nicaraguan core in a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf, delivering a richer and earthier profile than the Habano original.

Expect deep notes of cocoa, espresso, and leather upfront, with black pepper and a touch of cinnamon brightening the heavier core as the smoke develops. Handmade at My Father Cigars in Nicaragua, it earned a 90-rating from Cigar Aficionado. Give it 10 minutes after lighting before you evaluate — this cigar builds.

Lampert 1675 Edición Azul — Toro (6’’ × 52)

Created by Indiana Ortez, the Lampert 1675 Edición Azul is a medium-bodied blend that has built a quiet following since its release. The Ecuadorian H.2000 wrapper is the defining feature — smooth in texture with a natural sweetness that softens transitions between thirds.

This example was rolled in 2020, and six years of age show. Notes of cedar, earth, toasted almond, and subtle spice move through cleanly, with a smooth finish. The Nicaraguan binder and Peruvian ligero filler add just enough brightness to keep the profile engaging without overpowering. At $14.14 per stick, it’s one of the best value-for-money smokes in May’s box.

Davidoff Puro Dominicana — Short Robusto (3.5’’ × 52)

A true Dominican puro is rare in today’s market. Davidoff sourced tobacco from six distinct Dominican growing regions for this blend — including Yamasa-grown leaf for the wrapper, which delivers a refined, slightly sweet character distinctly different from Ecuadorian or Nicaraguan alternatives.

The Short Robusto format smokes longer than 3.5 inches would suggest. Notes of white pepper, cream, and dried fruit build gradually, giving way to cedar and toasted almond on the finish. Full-bodied yet polished — this is Davidoff precision applied to Dominican craftsmanship. Not currently available in our online store; check our site for updates.

Strength: Medium-Full | Wrapper: Dominican (Yamasa) | Size: Short Robusto 3.5’’ × 52 | Availability: Limited — check our site for current stock

Tradecraft Azorian — Corona Gorda (5.5’’ × 46)

Tradecraft is a smaller operation worth paying attention to. The Azorian is their flagship blend — an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over an Ecuadorian Sumatran binder with fillers sourced from the USA, Ecuador, and Dominican Republic. Built for balance over brute force.

The Corona Gorda (5.5’’ × 46) is the sweet spot in the Azorian line. The narrower ring gauge concentrates flavor in a way the Toro can’t replicate — cedar, earth, subtle spice, and natural tobacco sweetness develop gradually, with smooth transitions and an even burn from start to finish. Refined and consistent, with enough complexity to stay interesting. At $14.40 per stick, it’s the reliable daily smoke in this month’s box.

Strength: Medium | Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano | Size: Corona Gorda 5.5’’ × 46 | Price: $14.40 per stick (sold in 5-packs)

Surpassion King of Battle — Toro (6’’ × 50)

The Surpassion King of Battle is the boldest cigar in May’s Palladium box. A dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a Mexican San Andres binder and a Dominican and American filler blend — built for density and staying power. Notes of dark earth, espresso, leather, and black pepper lead from the first draw, with layers of oak and natural tobacco sweetness developing through the finish.

Despite its full-strength profile, the King of Battle stays controlled and smooth throughout. Dense smoke output, a steady burn, and a long, satisfying finish. Coming soon to our online store — check back for availability.

What Makes This Month’s Box Stand Out

May’s Palladium selection covers more ground than a typical monthly cigar subscription. The Tatuaje Cojonu 2015 Broadleaf is one of the more collectible releases in boutique cigar culture — finding it in a subscription box at $13.13 per stick is a genuine win. The Lampert Azul brings aged, medium-bodied balance. The Davidoff Puro Dominicana is a lesson in Dominican terroir. The Tradecraft Azorian is your reliable daily smoke. And the Surpassion King of Battle brings the heat when you want it.

If you’re comparing cigar club subscriptions, this is the kind of box that shows the difference between curation and clearance. Every cigar here has a reason to be in the lineup.
