About American Kick Ass Cigars
American Kick Ass Cigars, commonly known as AKA Cigars, is a boutique cigar company founded by Jay Lundy and Tom Poehler in Texas. The brand developed a patriotic identity and introduced premium handmade cigar collections including Hybrid, Respect, Solace and Nth Degree. Its blends were developed through manufacturing relationships involving Christian Eiroa and the Camacho/Davidoff operation.
Where Are AKA Cigars Made?
AKA Cigars has a documented manufacturing history in Honduras, including production at the Camacho/Davidoff factory in Danlí. The brand's early Hybrid blend was developed with Christian Eiroa. Manufacturing details can vary by release, so individual product specifications should be consulted when comparing AKA cigars.
AKA Hybrid Cigars
AKA Hybrid was the brand's first cigar line, introduced in 2011. Its distinguishing feature is a hybrid wrapper developed from Cameroon and Cuban-seed Corojo tobacco. The blend combines this wrapper with Dominican and Honduran tobaccos and is associated with a medium-to-full-bodied profile. Hybrid cigars have been offered in several sizes, including Lancero and Corona Gorda formats.
AKA Hybrid CIA Lancero
The AKA Hybrid CIA Lancero is a 7 x 38 cigar featuring the Hybrid Cameroon and Cuban-seed Corojo wrapper. The narrow Lancero format differs from larger-ring-gauge cigars in the proportion of wrapper tobacco relative to the filler. This release is part of the Hybrid family and is currently represented in the Cigars N Cigars catalog.
AKA Nth Degree Cigars
AKA Nth Degree uses a Mexican San Andrés Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, Dominican binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Peru. The blend is classified as medium in strength and has been described with earthy, coffee, mocha and chocolate characteristics. The Nth Degree Super Toro is one of the AKA selections available at Cigars N Cigars.
Other AKA Cigar Collections
In addition to Hybrid and Nth Degree, American Kick Ass Cigars developed the Respect and Solace collections. Respect was introduced as a vintage-oriented line with changing blends, while Solace added an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper to the portfolio. These historical releases illustrate the brand's use of different tobacco compositions rather than one standard blend across every cigar.
AKA Cigar Wrappers and Strength
AKA cigar strength and tobacco composition vary by collection. Hybrid uses a Cameroon and Cuban-seed Corojo hybrid wrapper and is generally classified as medium-to-full in strength. Nth Degree uses Mexican San Andrés Maduro and is classified as medium. Comparing the wrapper, binder, filler and individual vitola provides a more accurate understanding of each AKA cigar.
Choosing an American Kick Ass Cigar
When comparing American Kick Ass Cigars, start with the individual collection and its tobacco blend.
