In just over a year, the brand has muscled its way into more than 20 countries, propelled by a single blend built from tobaccos grown in Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Produced at the MJ Frias factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic, the cigars are offered in Toro, Double Robusto and Corona Gorda vitolas.<\/p>\n<p>Following a strong debut year, the company arrived at the 2026 PCA Expo in New Orleans with an expanded portfolio. Two new blends &#8211; Cr\u00e8me de la Cr\u00e8me and Unapologetic &#8211; join the original release, each dressed in ornate, gold-colored multi-band presentations.<\/p>\n<p>Cr\u00e8me de la Cr\u00e8me is the softer expression, built around an Ecuadorian Shade-grown wrapper, a Brazilian Arapiraca binder and a unique filler core from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Colombia. The result is a cigar that leans into creaminess and restraint, offering a milder, more nuanced profile than its medium-bodied predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>At the other end of the spectrum sits Unapologetic, a darker, more muscular composition. Cloaked in a USA Connecticut Shade Broadleaf wrapper over an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, with fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and the United States, it delivers a richer, fuller-bodied experience &#8211; dense, layered and robust.<\/p>\n<p>Taken together, the three blends now form a complete range, spanning mild to full-bodied. It\u2019s a lineup that mirrors McGregor\u2019s own approach inside the cage: agile, calculated and, when the moment calls for it, delivered with unmistakable force.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Produced at the MJ Frias factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic, the Notorious by Conor McGregor cigars are offered in Toro, Double Robusto and Corona Gorda vitolas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":76268,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[49,55,2812,44],"tags":[10252],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76265"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76265"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":76270,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76265\/revisions\/76270"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
