This cigar consists of the same Wrapper leafs that the Mi Querida line uses, but these were deemed “too ugly” due to minor blemishes or imperfections.

Umbagog is the name of one of the most pristine wilderness lakes in all of the United States. It is located on the border between Cos County, New Hampshire, and Oxford County, Maine. The origin of the word is from the Abenaki Indians meaning shallow water and I have been told the proper pronunciation is to the stress the second syllable as in um-BAY-gog, however I prefer to say it incorrectly as I always have as: oom-BA-gog. Just saying this word wrongly instantly makes me happy of heart. It is one of my favorite places in the entire world. The sky is marked with eagles and osprey, moose graze along her marshy shores and otters play friskily in wake. I love being on its quiet waters casting my line for the copious and voracious monster smallmouth bass it holds.

Oom-BA-gog is a perfect cigar for my time upon her waters. It is robust and durable, designed to endure the rigors of outside activity with its thick broadleaf capa and easy burning liga. This is a cigar that doesnt pretend to be special or seek to elicit the oohs or aahs of the cigar snobs. It is an honest, hardworking cigar that is meant to be smoked, chewed upon and lit however many times you wish. For me, it is the perfect cigar for mowing the yard, hiking, four wheelin and of course, fishing!
