Black Star Line Cigars is a Chicago-based boutique brand founded by Aric Bey, a Chicago firefighter who took the company's name from Marcus Garvey's Black Star Line shipping company. Marun is the brand's fifth anniversary cigar, named for the word for five in Yoruba, the language of an indigenous Nigerian tribe, continuing the brand's practice of drawing its names from African and African American history and culture. Released June 19, 2024, it marked the brand's first collaboration with Espinosa Premium Cigars and the La Zona Cigar Factory, blended alongside La Zona master blender Hector Alfonso.
Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler in a 6 x 50 toro format. Handcrafted at the La Zona Cigars Factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, with the Espinosa Premium Cigars team. A regular production release offered in both boxes and bundles of 20 cigars, with 125 boxes and 125 bundles in the initial run.
The Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper brings a delicate spice and earthiness, while the Nicaraguan binder and filler carry notes of dark chocolate, espresso and a hint of leather. Reviewers also report baking spices, dark brown sugar and a touch of citrus, with the leather deepening on the retrohale. Flavor runs full against a medium-full body and medium strength.
Alcoholic: A dark rum, a bold bourbon, or a craft stout. Non-Alcoholic: A dark espresso.
An everyday or special-occasion smoke. Allow 60 minutes.
