What Is the Palladium Cigar Subscription?

The Palladium cigar subscription is one of Luxury Cigar Club's premium tiers, priced at $53.95 a month and shipping five hand-picked cigars in every box. Within the broader lineup, Palladium sits in the upper-middle: above the entry-level Core and Gold boxes, alongside Platinum, and below the higher-priced Sapphire and flagship Diamond tiers. That positioning shows up in the cigars themselves — this is a monthly cigar subscription built for smokers who already know their way around a humidor and want limited releases, boutique blends, and brand-name pedigree without stepping all the way up to Sapphire or Diamond pricing.

Like every Luxury Cigar Club box, the September Palladium selection is curated rather than randomized. Each cigar of the month club shipment is chosen to balance strength, wrapper variety, and format, so the five sticks in this box read less like a grab bag and more like a guided tasting across five different tobacco-growing regions.

The Full September 2026 Palladium Selection

Room 101 17th Anniversary

Matt Booth's Room 101 marks 17 years in the cigar business with an all-Nicaraguan puro built in partnership with AJ Fernandez, wrapper through filler. It's a one-time release — produced as a single limited run for this anniversary and not slated to return — so this is a rare chance to pick one up through a cigar subscription box rather than hunting it down at retail. Medium-plus in body, expect the kind of balanced, layered profile Room 101 is known for. At $79.95 for a 5-pack, that works out to $15.99 per stick. Shop the Room 101 17th Anniversary.

Lure The Fat Matt

Lure's The Fat Matt pulls tobacco from four different regions into one blend: an Ecuadorian Sun-Grown Habano wrapper, a Nicaraguan Estelí Ligero binder, and filler tobaccos from both Honduras (Jamastrán, Talanga) and Nicaragua (Estelí, Jalapa). The Ligero binder adds backbone beneath the sweeter Habano wrapper, landing the profile in medium-plus territory with notes of cedar, earth, leather, and spice. Priced at $76.50 for a 5-pack, that's $15.30 per stick. Shop Lure The Fat Matt.

Platinum Nova 5 Boroughs Edition

This month's format standout: a 7-by-50 Churchill that gives its blend plenty of room to unfold. The Platinum Nova 5 Boroughs Edition introduces the brand's first double-binder construction, pairing Colombian and Corojo binder leaves beneath a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper, with Nicaraguan filler underneath. Expect cedar, earth, dark chocolate, black pepper, and roasted coffee, with a note of natural sweetness that builds as the long format develops. At $90.90 for a 5-pack, that's $18.18 per stick — the priciest single in this month's box, and arguably the most ambitious blend. Shop the Platinum Nova 5 Boroughs Edition.

Wildfire Revivalist

Wildfire Revivalist is a matured reblend of the brand's very first cigar, wrapped in Mexican Claro over an Indonesian Sumatra binder with a filler mix of Connecticut Broadleaf, Pennsylvania, Habano, and aged Italian tobacco. It's the mildest cigar in this month's Palladium box — medium-bodied, with earth, leather, cream, roasted coffee, and charred oak balanced against a lighter natural sweetness from the wrapper. A good palate-cleanser between the box's bolder entries. At $71.40 for a 5-pack, that's $14.28 per stick. Shop Wildfire Revivalist.

Stolen Throne Highway Drifter

Highway Drifter pairs an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler, and it's notable for introducing Stolen Throne's first shaggy-foot construction — the exposed foot shapes the opening draws before the wrapper's flavor joins in fully. From there, expect cedar, dark earth, leather, and roasted espresso, with spice building steadily through the smoke. Medium-plus in body. This release is on pre-order and estimated to ship mid-September, so early boxes may see it arrive slightly separately from the rest of the shipment. At $66.30 for a 5-pack, that's $13.26 per stick — the best value in this month's lineup. Shop Stolen Throne Highway Drifter.

What Makes This Month's Box Stand Out

Two things separate the September Palladium box from a typical monthly cigar subscription lineup. First, it includes a genuine one-off: the Room 101 17th Anniversary won't be produced again once this run sells out, which is exactly the kind of small-batch access a cigar club subscription is supposed to deliver. Second, the Platinum Nova 5 Boroughs Edition's double-binder construction is a first for that brand, giving experienced smokers something structurally new to evaluate rather than just another wrapper variation. Bookended by the milder Wildfire Revivalist and the value-priced Stolen Throne Highway Drifter, the box covers a wide strength and price range while staying inside the Palladium tier's premium-but-accessible identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cigars were in the September 2026 Palladium box?

The September 2026 Palladium box included the Room 101 17th Anniversary, Lure The Fat Matt, the Platinum Nova 5 Boroughs Edition, Wildfire Revivalist, and Stolen Throne Highway Drifter.

What is a cigar of the month club?

A cigar of the month club is a subscription service that ships a curated selection of cigars to your door on a recurring basis, typically monthly. Luxury Cigar Club's version spans several tiers, from the entry-level Core box up through Gold, Platinum, Palladium, Sapphire, and the flagship Diamond tier, each shipping a different number and caliber of cigars.

How does a cigar subscription work?

You choose a tier based on budget and how many cigars you want each month, and Luxury Cigar Club's team curates that month's box around new releases, boutique finds, and brand collaborations. Boxes ship monthly, and members can typically pause, skip, or change tiers between shipments.

What's the difference between the Palladium and other Luxury Cigar Club tiers?

Palladium sits in the upper-middle of Luxury Cigar Club's lineup at $53.95 a month for five cigars — above the entry-level Core ($18.99, 3 cigars) and Gold ($39.95) boxes, priced alongside Platinum ($50.95), and below Sapphire ($69.99) and the flagship Diamond tier ($150). Palladium is not the club's entry-level or top-tier box; it's a premium mid-to-upper tier built for smokers who want boutique and limited-release cigars without paying Sapphire or Diamond prices.

Is the Palladium subscription good for beginners or experienced smokers?

Palladium leans toward smokers with some experience already under their belt. The box regularly includes limited releases, uncommon blending techniques (like this month's double-binder Platinum Nova), and boutique brands that reward a smoker who already has a sense of their strength and flavor preferences, though the range of profiles in any given box — from the milder Wildfire Revivalist to the fuller Platinum Nova — gives newer smokers plenty of room to explore, too.

The Verdict

The standout of the September 2026 Palladium cigar subscription box is the Room 101 17th Anniversary. It's a limited, one-time-only puro from a respected brand, built in partnership with AJ Fernandez, and priced at just $15.99 per stick — genuinely hard to find outside a Luxury Cigar Club shipment once this run is gone. Shop the Room 101 17th Anniversary before it sells out, and if you want boxes like this delivered automatically, the Palladium cigar subscription box is one of Luxury Cigar Club's most reliable ways to get boutique and limited cigars every month.
