The Blue Eyed Jack's Revenge arrived in 2024 as the latest chapter in the peculiar, pirate-filled universe created by ADVentura founders Henderson Ventura and Marcel Knobel. The company, founded in 2016, has built much of its identity around maritime exploration, with each cigar representing another character or episode in an ongoing adventure.
Blue Eyed Jack's Revenge follows the 2022 release of Barbarroja's Invasion, introducing a rival pirate plotting revenge against the notorious Barbarroja. The storytelling extends all the way to the packaging. Open a box and a recording of Jack's voice announces, 'Small price to pay for the taste of sweet revenge.'
It is an unusual amount of theater for a box of cigars, but ADVentura has never been particularly interested in conventional packaging. Behind the pirate story is a more interesting tobacco project. Ventura wanted to demonstrate the range of Dominican tobacco, pairing a Mexican San Andrés Colorado wrapper with Dominican Olor binder and Dominican fillers.
All the tobaccos are aged for five years before rolling, followed by another six months of rest for the finished cigars. The blend was developed to offer a sweeter, more restrained counterpart to Barbarroja's Invasion, with Ventura particularly interested in producing sweetness both on the palate and through the retrohale.
Production takes place at Tabacalera Mina del Rey in the Dominican Republic, a factory established following the devastating 2022 fire at Tabacalera William Ventura. The cigar became ADVentura's fastest-selling release at the time, an encouraging result for a company that had spent the preceding years rebuilding.
