More Details

El Baton....the original nickel stick.

​Introduced in 1914 and rolled with genuine Cuban tobacco leaves, this legendary little gem was the pick of the litter, especially at a nickel a piece. The good news is that the brand is back! With a new blend, a 93-rating, and a Top 25 appearance under its belt, El Baton is beginning the assent again.

El Baton is a Nicaraguan puro being offered by J.C. Newman. Complex and full in body, this cigar features carefully selected long-fillers harvested from the highly fertile soils of Nicaragua. It’s bold and potent, featuring generous notes of nuts, coffee, spice, raisins, and sweetness. Well-made, and steeped in tradition, this is one handmade you won’t want to miss.

El Baton's well-earned 93-rating notes, "The cigar is big on flavor, leaving bold impressions of coffee, spice and raisins on the palate... it's back and probably better than ever."

I absolutely love this smoke. It hits all the right things with me from size, aroma, and flavor, to the texture of the smoke. The draw is almost perfect. This one would be a strong contender for a daily smoke. Truly a wonderful experience.

This a wonderful cigar and kinda hard to find other than here at CI.For my tastes and liking this is not a bold or powerfull cigar. Very very nice cigar,,all the flavors listed are there and it doesnt get stronger as it gets shorter.The aroma is great and I noticed it has a slight gram cracker taste.This is 1 cigar I would LOVE to fill my humidor with!!.I guess Im a lil greedy because I pass these out to very few friends and my son when he comes home every few months from school.This cigar is worth every $$.

I don’t know how people like this cigar. It is a horrible tasting stick to me. I’m surprised that it’s a Nicaragua, because most cigars I tasted from there was good.

I'm a big fan of the Baton. It is one of those cigars that fiy in under the radar. At the moment CI is one of the few places where I can find this excellent cigar. I am a first time on line buyer and was happy with the speed of delivery and the condition of the cigars. Excellent. Kudos to CI.

This stick is great. It starts out peppery for the first half inch then settles down nicely. It then develops into a rich creamy smoke with notes of dried fruit , nuts and toast. Very enjoyable.

This is one of the finest and enjoyable smokes in my rotation. With a dark rich flavor that melds a perfect strain of sweetness this full taste cigar is easy for everyday enjoyment. You get a full smooth flavor that ignites your palate with the true enjoyment of fine tobacco leaves. Grown to perfection and aged properly the roller must have been in heaven handling this fine cigar.
