Exclusive to The Pelican Shop: Best Day Ever Cigars

Best Day Ever is our in-house cigar line featuring Dominican tobacco, built for easy enjoyment—great draw, approachable flavor, and an all-around “light it and relax” experience. If you’re visiting St. Thomas, this is the souvenir that actually gets used.


Best Day Ever – Rum

Profile: smooth • lightly sweet • crowd-pleaser

Our #1 best seller for a reason. Expect a mellow-to-medium smoke with a warm, rounded sweetness that plays nicely with a pour of rum, bourbon, or even coffee. If you’re buying a gift and don’t know someone’s preferences, start here.

Great for: new cigar smokers, vacation vibes, after-dinner smokes


Best Day Ever – Connecticut

Profile: creamy • mild • clean finish

A classic “morning to anytime” cigar. Smooth, easy, and not overpowering—think creamy texture, gentle cedar/nut notes, and a refined finish. This one turns “I don’t usually smoke cigars” into “Add two more.”

Great for: first-time smokers, daytime, golf, pairing with cappuccino


Best Day Ever – San Andrés

Profile: darker • richer • more punch

For people who want more depth. Expect bolder flavor—richer earth and cocoa vibes—with a satisfying “real cigar” presence while still staying smooth. A strong step up from Connecticut without getting harsh.

Great for: medium-bodied fans, evening smoke, bourbon/rye pairings

Purple People Eater

Profile: bold • flavorful • conversation starter

One of our most popular “I want something different” picks. Big flavor, big personality, and the kind of cigar people remember. If you like rich, punchy smokes, this one belongs in your rotation.


Romeo y Julieta 1875 “Bully”

Profile: classic • balanced • easygoing

A timeless, approachable cigar with that traditional Romeo y Julieta style—smooth, balanced, and consistently enjoyable. Great when you want a dependable smoke that won’t overpower your palate.


JFR Maduro Titan (6x60)

Profile: full flavor • big ring • value powerhouse

Thick, dark, and satisfying—this is the “bang for your buck” maduro that keeps people coming back. If you like a heavier profile and a lot of smoke, Titan delivers.


Padrón 1964 Anniversary No. 4 Maduro

Profile: premium • rich • ultra-smooth

The “treat yourself” cigar. Padrón is legendary for a reason—deep, refined flavor and a smoothness that feels expensive from the first draw to the last inch. Perfect for celebrations or a serious nightcap.


Tabak Café con Leche Belicoso

Profile: coffee-forward • sweet aromatic • dessert smoke

If you like flavored cigars that still feel well-made, this is the move. Creamy coffee sweetness with a relaxing aroma—great for social settings and after dinner.

A richer, more modern Montecristo experience—smooth but complex, with a premium feel. This is for the smoker who wants quality and character in the same stick.

FAQ: Picking the Right Cigar

I’m new to cigars—what should I start with?

Start with something smooth and forgiving: Best Day Ever Connecticut, Perdomo Champagne, or Undercrown Shade. If you want a sweeter option, try Tabak Café con Leche or Deadwood.

What’s a safe “gift cigar” if I don’t know their taste?

Best Day Ever – Rum is a strong all-around gift pick. If you want premium, go with Padrón 1964. If they like smooth classics, Arturo Fuente Hemingway is almost always a win.

Do you carry big ring cigars?

Yes—several of our best sellers are big ring favorites, including JFR Titan and multiple Rocky Patel “Sixty” formats.

Can someone help me pick based on what I already smoke?
