Cumberland Island

Southern Tab

While we’re on this Tobacco Road conversation, we’d like to introduce you to Southern Tab, a fledgling cigar company out of Fayetteville, Georgia. They’re a source for premium hand-rolled cigars. Southern Tab cigars have a Dominican wrapper around all Southern tobacco. That’s right, these cigars are made from tobacco grown in Kentucky, Virginia, and North Carolina.

A company based in the South that uses all Southern products in their goods is right up our alley. So we put together a panel of differing tastes and sampled Southern Tab’s Coastal Waters line. Here’s what the panel thought:

Cliff- “The Aficionado ”
​At first glance this is an aromatic, beautiful medium flavored cigar. When I lit the cigar, using a match to avoid that nauseating lighter taste, it was very harsh to the pallet. After a few tokes the cigar mellowed out to the wonderful medium flavor expected from the Dominican wrapper. Unlike many of the higher end, tighter rolled cigars I’ve smoked this one seemed to stay lit with much less effort. The downside to that is my normal cigars take two glasses of bourbon to finish, this one just a half of a glass. If I were to be asked if I would buy these again, I’d have to say if my extra negro maduros weren’t available, these would be a great go to. All in all, pros and cons weighed, for a homegrown Southern cigar, may be the best I’ve had.
Sam - “The Occasional Cigar Smoker”
I’ve gotta day I enjoyed the cigar. It did have a good flavor and was pleasantly aromatic. It’s a mild to medium blend and that is typically what I smoke. I’m partial to Churchills so this is a smaller cigar but even considering that I don’t think mine went that quickly. Mine also was harder to keep lit than was Cliff’s experience. That could be merely a difference from one hand rolled cigar to another. As a whole, I’d say it’s not the best cigar I’ve ever had but it is a good, solid cigar and I’d certainly consider another one.

I’m excited to see a company making Southern cigars. I know it’s going to be a process and I’m sure Southern Tab will have obstacles and growing pains but I’m anxious to see where this goes.

Nick - “The Farmer Who Enjoys a Good Cigar”
To me, this was a pretty good cigar. It didn’t have a burst of flavor like a pack of Skittles or anything but it did have a nice mild taste to it. It didn’t take a long time to smoke it but I’m also not the type to ruminate on a cigar for three or four days. So for me, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

I especially like the fact that they’re using Southern-grown tobacco. It makes me curious about growing it. I might have to look into that further.
