Apostate Cigars was founded by Utah natives Brandon Oveson and Kendrick Woolstenhulme, drawing bold inspiration from the Greek word Apostia, which signifies defection, departure, revolt, or rebellion. Their first cigar, the Initiatory, takes its name from an important initiation ceremony in the Mormon faith, making it a fitting and symbolic launch for their brand. Released in 2020, the Initiatory has proven its staying power.
Featuring an Ecuadorian Sumatran wrapper, a Mexican San Andrés binder, and Nicaraguan fillers, this cigar might suggest a full-bodied experience at first glance. However, through expert blending, it achieves a perfectly balanced, medium-bodied profile.
Crafted as an ideal introduction to their lineup, the Initiatory delivers timeless flavors of wood, spice, and subtle caramel undertones, offering a smoking experience that's as rich in meaning as it is in flavor.
