Firecracker Maduro Short Robusto

Firecracker Maduro Short Robusto is the 3 1/2 x 50 Firecracker in a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper.

The Firecracker is a 3 1/2 x 50 cigar with a long, twisted fuse at the cap. The fuse is clipped off, not lit. David Garofalo, the owner of United Cigars, created it as an Independence Day exclusive for his Two Guys Smoke Shop in New Hampshire; the first was made by My Father Cigars. It has since appeared in many limited collaborations, and three regular versions, Sun Grown, Maduro and Connecticut, are made by José Dominguez at Tabacalera Magia Cubana in Santiago, Dominican Republic.

Each version has its own blend and its own wooden box of 25, with an eagle on the lid label in red, white and blue for the Sun Grown, black and gold for the Maduro and green for the Connecticut.

The Maduro is the revamped Black Bomb Firecracker, made regular production in September 2023: a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Sumatra binder, with Dominican and Nicaraguan filler. Its box of 25 now reads “FIRECRACKER MADURO.”
