Game Special Reserve (15ct Display - 1 Per Pack) is the high-end, boutique offering within the Garcia y Vega portfolio. Unlike the mass-market "Fusion" lines, the Special Reserve is crafted for the discerning smoker who appreciates a more traditional, "cigar-lounge" quality tobacco in a convenient, single-stick format.
The 15-count display features individually tubed or foil-wrapped cigars, ensuring each stick remains in pristine condition and peak freshness at the retail counter.
Product Profiles & Features
The Special Reserve line is distinguished by its use of premium, aged leaves and a more complex tobacco blend.
Wrapper Quality: Uses a hand-selected Natural Leaf wrapper (typically a Connecticut Shade or Broadleaf) that is aged for a longer duration than the standard Game line. This results in a smoother, more refined smoke with fewer veins.
The Blend: The filler consists of a proprietary blend of aged short-filler tobaccos that provide a medium-bodied profile with natural notes of cedar, toasted nuts, and a light creaminess.
Flavoring: While most Special Reserve sticks lean toward natural tobacco profiles, they are often characterized by a subtle, non-overpowering sweetness that enhances rather than masks the tobacco's natural character.
Key Product Features
Individual Freshness: Each cigar is housed in its own protective packaging. This "Singles" format is ideal for retailers because it protects the leaf from damage and drying out—a common issue with high-end natural leaf products.
Premium Aesthetic: The packaging often features gold foil accents and a more sophisticated design, signaling to the customer that this is a "Special" tier product.
Slow Burn: Due to the higher density and quality of the tobacco used in the Reserve line, these cigars typically offer a longer burn time than standard 2-pack cigarillos.
Aromatic Profile: Known for a very pleasant "room note" that is less "sweet-heavy" and more "tobacco-rich."
