Are Apostate Cigars God's gift to cigar smokers? Prepare to be converted by this boutique cigar maker whose blends are based on the symbolism of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Founded by former LSD members, Brandon Oveson and Kendrick Woolstenhulme, Apostate Cigars are blended at Jochy Blanco's Tabacalera Palma cigar factory in the Dominican Republic.

Boveda's Drew Emmer interviewed Brandon to delve into these D.R. cigars created for flavor, not strength.

What is Boveda? Large and small cigars brands protect their blends with Boveda 2-way humidity control—that brown pack that you find in the box with your cigars. Boveda preserves the flavor and character of premium cigars by keeping them at ideal humidity. At home, continue to use Boveda in your humidor to keep cigars well-humidified or they can be hard to light, burn to too fast or get moldy. With Boveda in your humidor, you'll enjoy full flavor and perfect smoke from every cigar.
