Nashville-based OZ Family Cigars, founded in 2022 by Tim Ozgener, is bringing back its annual Cigar Game release with a significant change of origin. While the 2024 and 2025 editions were made in the Dominican Republic under the Firsat brand, the 2026 version is produced in Nicaragua at the NACSA factory in Estelí and becomes an extension of the Karatoba line, launched last year in four sizes.
The cigar is a soft-pressed 6 x 56 toro with an Ecuadoran Sumatra-seed wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and filler from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. It is priced at $14.95 per cigar, or $179.40 for a box of 12.
Production grows from 300 boxes in 2024 and 1,200 in 2025 to 1,500 boxes in 2026. The edition is tied to the Tennessee-Alabama college football rivalry and is sold exclusively through cigar shops in the state of Tennessee, where it has already started arriving.
The brand is not part of our catalog, but you can explore the selection of Nicaraguan and Dominican cigars available at Mister Tabaco.
