Ozgener Family: Pi Synesthesia Red Limited Edition 2023 Cigars

After 12 years removed from the cigar industry, Tim Ozgener returned in 2022 with the establishment of Ozgener Family Cigars. A former executive at CAO, Tim is the son of founder Cano Ozgener, and his family has been a staple name in the industry since the 1990s. Now, he continues his family's cigar legacy through OFC.

A followup release to 2022's original Pi Synesthesia, the Pi Synesthesia Red continues the theme of its forebear and stays true to its namesake sensory effect. Synesthesia is the name given to a phenomenon wherein the brain routes sensory information through unrelated senses, such as when one can "feel" music. The original was based on the correlation between colors and numbers, with band art based on Cano Ozgener's painting series of the same name, and the Red shares this band art, though it's representative of a different sensory combination: colors and taste. As such, the "Red" in its name points toward that color inspiration, and the cigar aims to replicate the taste of the hue through its spicy, peppery flavor profile. Rolled by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr.'s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A factory in the Dominican Republic and limited to 30,000 cigars total, the Pi Synesthesia Red is a truly unique smoking experience.
