Platinum Nova Sultan Box Pressed

Description

The Platinum Nova Sultan Box Pressed is a 6 1/4 x 55 handmade cigar that pairs a Mexican San Andres wrapper with a Dominican binder and Dominican filler. Neptune Cigar says it is rolled in the Dominican Republic.

What It Tastes Like

We could not locate a dated review of the Sultan from Cigar Aficionado, halfwheel or Cigar Coop, so no score appears here. Neptune Cigar’s listing describes it as medium to full in body, mixing spice with a creamy texture and some sweetness. Neptune adds that the leaf is aged before rolling and the cigars rest afterward.

Who It’s For

• San Andres smokers who want a Mexican wrapper on Dominican filler.
• Fans of a thick ring gauge who like the hand feel of a 55-ring cigar.
• Anyone sampling the Platinum Nova lineup who wants a medium-full San Andres choice.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Mexican San Andres wrapper over all-Dominican binder and filler
• The 6 1/4 x 55 size should suit an unhurried smoke
• Neptune Cigar and our listing agree on a medium-full strength

Cons

• No score from a major independent outlet that we could find
• The 55 ring may feel bulky if you prefer slimmer cigars

About Platinum Nova

halfwheel has covered Platinum Nova’s trade-show launches, including the Trappist 1G at PCA 2023 and a Batch Toro Nicaragua size at PCA 2024. According to Neptune Cigar, the Sultan, Mirage, Congress and Trappist 1G are all made by hand in the Dominican Republic.

Pairing and Storage

Because the Sultan sits between medium and full, our cigar pairing guide points toward a bourbon or, for something richer, an aged rum. For keeping it in shape, see our humidor basics guide.
