Lines

du Connecticut

Crux's take on the classic Connecticut-shade profile, offering a smooth, creamy and mild-to-medium morning smoke. Balanced notes of cream, nuts and light cedar define the line.

Epicure

A Nicaraguan puro-influenced blend under an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, offering rich, balanced flavor and a classic closed-foot presentation. One of Crux's flagship medium-bodied smokes.

Guild

A Habano-wrapped blend named for the craft of cigar making, delivering a medium-to-full profile with notes of cedar, spice and cocoa. A refined everyday offering in the Crux portfolio.

Ninfamaniac

A thin, elegant ninfa/lancero-style line prized by aficionados for its concentrated wrapper flavor. Available in natural Habano and dark Maduro versions, it delivers refined complexity in a slender format.

Skeeterz

A small-format, high-flavor line designed for a quick but satisfying smoke. These petite cigars pack a full, spicy Nicaraguan punch in a compact size.
