Buffalo Trace Special F

Cigar Intel

Crafted in small batches, the Buffalo Trace Special F was created with intention, both in its blend and its design. The “F” stands for Figurado, referring to the cigar’s elegant shape, which helps concentrate the flavors as you smoke. At its core lies a rich combination of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers, bound with a hearty Brazilian Arapiraca leaf, and topped with a silky Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that delivers smooth combustion and an even burn.

What sets this cigar apart is the use of barrel-aged tobacco. A portion of the filler has been aged in genuine Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels, infusing the leaf with subtle notes of vanilla, oak, and caramel that echo the character of the famed Kentucky distillery. It’s a limited-production blend with a loyal following, perfect for those who want a premium smoke that bridges the worlds of fine cigars and heritage whiskey.

Tasting Notes

Expect an earthy, pepper-forward opening that quickly smooths into notes of toasted oak and cocoa. As the cigar warms up, flavors of vanilla, roasted nuts, and a subtle bourbon sweetness emerge, rounding out the profile beautifully.

There’s a gentle spice throughout the retrohale and a lingering leather finish that adds depth. Bold yet balanced, this stick smokes like a slow sip of good whiskey, complex, layered, and deeply satisfying.
