Gold Star by United Cigars: The New Star of the Caribbean

Cigar aficionados, get ready—Gold Star is making its grand return! United Cigars is expanding its prestigious portfolio with the Gold Star line extension, handcrafted at the Tabacalera William Ventura Cigar Factory in the Dominican Republic.

Originally introduced in 1995, the Gold Star line was reawakened in 2024 with a Limited-Edition release that raised over $30,000 for the Navy SEAL Gold Star Program. Now, Gold Star is back for ongoing production, maintaining its iconic gold star emblem while receiving a fresh update in blending and style.

A Tribute to Tradition & Excellence

Gold Star is a symbol of honor, pride, and achievement, delivering a luxurious smoking experience with a carefully curated blend of premium tobaccos:

? Filler: Dominican Ligeros, Criollo ’98, Corojo ‘98, and Connecticut Broadleaf
? Binder: Sumatra
? Wrapper: Ecuador Habano 2000 Intermedio from the renowned Quevedo region

Aged for 365 days, Gold Star offers a medium-bodied profile that’s bold yet smooth. Each puff unveils a harmonious blend of flavors, including:

?? Rich cocoa
?? Toasted almond
?? Sweet honey
?? Hints of cinnamon spice

This cigar was crafted under the Caribbean sun, embracing Dominican cigar-making traditions while enhancing complexity for today’s connoisseurs.

Gold Star Lineup & Pricing

Gold Star will be available in three popular vitolas:

  • Robusto (5 x 52) – $12.00
  • Toro (6 x 54) – $13.00
  • Gordo (6 ½ x 60) – $14.00

Each cigar comes in an elegant black matte box of 20, showcasing the iconic Gold Star logo.

Where to Find Gold Star

Gold Star will officially launch in March 2025 at select retailers, followed by a wider release at PCA New Orleans later in the year. Some of the premium retailers carrying Gold Star include:

? Ambassador Fine Cigars (AZ)
? Byron Cigar Lounge (IL)
? Luxury Cigar Club
? Two Guys Cigars (NH)
? …and more!

Gold Star: More Than a Cigar

Oliver Nivaud of United Cigars expressed his enthusiasm for the project:

“Gold Star pays homage to the classic Dominican tradition while pushing the boundaries of flavor complexity. Every draw is a tribute to the passion and skill from the Ventura family factory.”

Gold Star isn’t just a cigar—it’s an invitation to slow down, appreciate craftsmanship, and savor the moment. Whether you’re a seasoned cigar aficionado or a newcomer seeking sophistication, Gold Star promises an unforgettable experience.
