What does the name mean?
“As concerns tobacco … Each man's own preference is the only standard for him, the only one which he can accept, the only one which can command him.” - Concerning Tobacco
Inspired by this letter penned by Mark Twain in 1893, we set out to create the first cigar experience that allows you to decide which cigars are truly underrated, over-hyped, and which are the best in the world based on nothing but the cigar alone.
Not like other cigar subscriptions
There are dozens of cigar subscription options out there. Go ahead, take a look around. You’ll be left mostly uninspired with packages thrown together with one or two ‘good’ cigars paired with economical, off-brand cigars and fancy packaging. Standard & Twain offers the first and only cigar tasting experience that allows you to discover some of the more subtle flavors found in the world’s most premiere cigars.
Who is this for?
Perhaps the best part of Standard & Twain boxes is that they’re great for both the novice and experienced cigar enthusiast. Our blind tastings allow those new to cigars to find new favorite brands and begin to develop their tasting palate. For our veterans you’ll be able to challenge preconceived notions about certain brands and compare your tasting notes with the cigar makers themselves.
What about the cigars?
We hesitate to say that Standard & Twain cigars are comprised of some of the highest rated cigars from various magazines and ‘professional’ reviewers… because what do they know, right? But, we do hand select what are generally considered to be the best premium cigars in the world, then let you decide if they live up to the billing.
