Description
The Quesada Oktoberfest 2025 Bavarian is a 5 1/2 x 52 robusto in a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper, with Dominican binder and filler underneath. It is the shortest of the five sizes in Quesada’s regular U.S. 2025 Oktoberfest lineup, a yearly seasonal cigar blended with German lager in mind.
What It Tastes Like
We have not found a published review of the 2025 Bavarian yet; the closest is Cigar Coop’s January 31, 2022 review of the 2021 Bavarian, same size and wrapper. After a quick hit of black pepper, that cigar settled on bittersweet baking cocoa, coffee and cedar; the cocoa turned more bitter later and pepper returned near the end. Cigar Coop placed strength and body at medium and liked the draw and straight burn.
Who It’s For
- Beer drinkers who want a cigar designed with a lager in mind.
- Robusto smokers who like a 52 ring without a long time commitment.
- San Andrés fans curious about the Mexican leaf over Dominican tobacco.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Cigar Coop thought the 2021 Bavarian might be the best Oktoberfest to that point
- Cigar Aficionado says it comes from Quesada’s own Dominican factory
Cons
- We found no independent review of the 2025 cigars yet
- Cigar Coop found the 2021 version fairly simple in flavor
About Quesada Oktoberfest
Quesada started the series in 2011, and Cigar Aficionado reports a new main blend arrived in 2021. For 2025, Cigar Coop notes, the blue boxes and bands last used in 2016 came back. Our Quesada Oktoberfest cigars guide covers the series in more depth.
Pairing and Storage
halfwheel says the series was conceived around Märzen lager, so a malty festival Märzen fits the original intent. For other ideas, see our cigar pairing guide.
