Founded by industry veteran Erik Wentworth, formerly of Hammer & Sickle Cigars, and Jim Ferreira, 3 Leaf Cigars made its debut in 2024, bringing a balance of quality and industry expertise.

Upon lighting, the 3 Leaf is an enticing blend of honey graham cracker notes, interlaced with subtle hints of baking spice and bread. A gentle cedar nuance, a touch of white pepper, vanilla bunt cake, and mixed nuts round out the introduction, offering a balanced yet intriguing start.

As the cigar progresses, the cedar note deepens, accompanied by whispers of hay and continued baking spice. The profile evolves with a creamy, molasses-like caramel sweetness, while a burst of wasabi spice gives the white pepper a fresh, unexpected kick.

In the final act, the cedar mellows yet remains present, allowing the spice to take center stage with a more pronounced white pepper and wasabi influence. An earthy foundation emerges as vanilla and caramel creaminess linger, accented by a delightful snickerdoodle cookie sweetness that rounds off the experience.
