From the Big Sky Cigar Company website:
We have a rich history in cigars here in Montana and Big Sky Cigar Co. has a mission to bring that tradition back to life.
In 1905, Montana had over 107 Cigar factories within the state. With only a little over 240,000 people in the entire territory at the time, that equates to 1 cigar factory for every 2,200 people. Designed locally and created with the highest quality ingredients, Big Sky Cigar, Co. Cigars aim to bring that type of high quality supply access back to Montana.
Back in the heyday of Cigars in Montana, tobacco was imported from around the world from countries like Jamaica, Java, Haiti, and Nicaragua. This tobacco would arrive in Montana where skilled rollers would design and make the best cigars in the country at affordable prices for their neighbors.
We here at Big Sky Cigar Co. want to rediscover the tradition of the Montana Cigar. We are delivering to you the highest quality tobacco from Central America, rolled with the utmost care, at a price that will allow all, legal aged, Montanans to enjoy. Like the rollers of Montana’s past, we offer this gift to you, neighbors.
When you take your first draw off of a Big Sky Cigar, Co. cigar remember the Miners of Butte, the Lumberjacks of our great forests, the Ranchers of the vast Eastern Montana Plains, the Railroad Workers that built our infrastructure. Remember with each draw you are now a part of a Montana Tradition of Cigars. Long ashes my friends.
A portion of proceeds from each box sold is donated to Warriors and Quiet Waters, a Montana based therapeutic fly fishing program for post 9/11 veterans and their families.

The Bighorn is a Nicarguan Puro from Esteli. I am reviewing the 6.25 X 52 Torpedo, a medium strength cigar that dons a solid triple cap, perfect for any cut - I chose the Colibri Deep V Cut which gave this cigar a perfect draw resistance.
Cold draw is nice sweet tobacco with hints of chocolate and vanilla.
Upon light up, a nice burn line forms, with some waviness throughout - only one burn touch up throughout. Thick, billowing smoke output!
Getting into the flavor profile, the first third has notes of creamy caramel, light leather, nut, mild coffee bitterness, and earth, with faint black pepper on the tongue toward the end of the first third.
The second third has notes of caramel, nut, leather and unsweetened cocoa, with black pepper building a bit.
Into the #finalthird, notes of medium roast coffee and earth join the leather and nut flavors, with an uptick of spice - red and black pepper on the tongue and through the retrohale.
The Bighorn has a complex flavor profile that makes you think as you transition from third to third. A very enjoyable medium strength cigar that will fit most palates.
I enjoyed The Bighorn very much and look forward to this brand doing great things in the cigar world!
I gave the Big Sky Cigar Company - The Bighorn a Final Third Cigar rating of 91. Great construction and smoking characteristics with a beautiful presentation of the cigar and the literature provided for the brand.
