2021 Cigar of the Year #9: Jake Wyatt “Lithium” Belicoso

December 3, 2021 By Matthew Tabacco

If there is a smaller and newer brand making its way around retailers that has my attention, it’s Jake Wyatt Cigar Co. we caught up with them at the 2021 Premium Cigar Trade Show in Las Vegas and my attention was immediately caught by the ver luxurious esthetic of the Lithium line, with its black and gold band in the style of the Lithium atomic symbol.

Jake Wyatt is owned and run by Gerard Abajian, who is also the proprietor of the Mardo cigar. The Lithium was truly flavorful, very complex and truly rich. With notes of spice, cherry and leather, this cigar was a one-two punch Knock-out from the moment I lit it up. This 6 x 52 Belicoso will set you back $11.00 and I would recommend checking your local brick and mortar retailer for it, or going over to Mardocigar.com.
