About This Cigar
Born as a tribute to Definition Cigars' first creation, The Nobility, the Equalizer was crafted to embody the same spirit and sophistication — elevated with more flavor and improved consistency. Launched in the summer of 2020, The Equalizer was created to Define Staying True. Its name carries a simple yet profound message: Because we're all equal in the end.
The Gordo format takes the celebrated Equalizer blend and puts it in the most commanding format in the lineup — a box pressed 6 x 60 that delivers maximum flavor, a generous draw, and a deeply satisfying full-bodied experience. The Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper over an all-Nicaraguan blend delivers rich dark chocolate, espresso, bold spice, and deep earth that evolve beautifully across the long, satisfying Gordo format.
This cigar is more than just a blend — it's a statement of balance, refinement, and dedication to the art of cigar making. In the boldest format.
Definition Cigars is a Black-owned boutique cigar brand committed to craftsmanship, bold flavor, and bringing world-class cigars to the premium market.

Cigar Pairing Guide
Match intensity to your drink: lighter beverages for milder profiles; spirits with deeper oak or spice when the cigar runs fuller. Start with the suggestions below, then adjust to taste.
- Let the first inch establish the true flavor before committing to a pairing switch.
- Sweetness in a drink can soften perceived pepper; carbonation can lift palate fatigue.

What makes this a boutique cigar?
Boutique cigars are typically rolled in smaller runs with curated tobacco and tighter quality control than mass-market lines. At Smoke Dogg Cigars, we emphasize small batch cigars and transparent tasting cues so customers in the USA can compare handcrafted cigars online with clearer expectations. Natural crop variation exists year to year, but construction, draw, and flavor intent should align with the story on each listing.
Is this cigar suitable for beginners?
Many shoppers looking for premium cigars for beginners want milder strength and forgiving flavor. Use our experience scale on this page: lower scores skew approachable, while higher scores suggest fuller body and nicotine impact. New smokers should pace draws, stay hydrated, and consider milder boutique blends first. Always meet your state’s legal age requirements before purchasing.
What flavors can I expect from this cigar?
Flavor comes from wrapper, binder, filler, and aging. Our Flavor Profile section estimates emphasis—woody, spicy, creamy, earthy—and the cigar may evolve from first light through the finish. Descriptions are guides, not guarantees, because tobacco harvests change seasonally. Pairings below can help you match drinks to the profile you prefer.
How strong is this cigar?
Strength reflects nicotine effect, body, and how long flavors linger—not wrapper color alone. A higher experience score usually means a more assertive session; lower scores read gentler for relaxed smoking. Eat beforehand, smoke slowly, and increase intensity gradually if you are sensitive to nicotine. Your drink pairing can soften or amplify perceived spice.
How should I store cigars properly?
Aim for about 65–70% relative humidity and a stable, moderate temperature. Use a humidor, tupperdor, or sealed container with reliable humidity packs.
- Avoid sunny windows, hot cars, and long-term refrigerator storage.
- Rotate stock occasionally and inspect for mold or dryness.
- Let mail-order cigars rest after shipping when possible so humidity stabilizes.
Good storage protects the investment your handcrafted cigars online order represents—especially limited small batch inventory.
