Mayflower Cigars debuted a bold new blue-banded cigar blend on Friday, The Mayflower Dream. Selling out in just two days, this marked yet another incredible launch for Michael Knowles’ young brand, guided by its honor of tradition and goal to create exceptional luxury within reach.
The Mayflower Dream is described as a sweet and subtle expression of heritage and tradition. This double-maduro blend features an exquisite Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper over Mexican San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan long filler, and was made available in sizes Robusto (5.5 x 50), Toro (6.5 x 52), Gordo (6 x 60), and Box-Pressed Toro (6 x 52). Those who managed to get their hands on a pack of the new Mayflower offering can expect soft, lingering notes of chicory, cardamom, and oak with a hint of caramel from this medium- to full-bodied smoke.

Unveiled with jaw-dropping flair at the star-studded “Courage Under Fire” gala in Nashville last weekend, the Mayflower Dream debuted alongside the iconic Mayflower Smoking Jacket. Once again, the brand teamed up with Shepherd’s Menswear — helmed by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker — for a collaboration that stole the spotlight.

While the Mayflower Dream might be out of stock, the brand still has a small remaining number of the Mayflower Smoking Jacket available. Following the instant sell-out of the original jacket, this latest, limited release expands the line beyond its original Mayflower Dawn maroon and Mayflower Dusk black colorways. The half-canvassed piece features a premium Italian velvet exterior, genuine animal horn buttons, a custom Mayflower Bemberg lining for breathability, functional sleeve buttonholes, and an inner cigar slip — delivering both sophistication and a personalized fit. With Father’s Day approaching, it stands as an heirloom-worthy gift for the man who taught you the value of elegance, composure, and tradition.

The Mayflower Smoking Jacket is a made-to-order masterpiece of craftsmanship and luxury and is available now.
Butker and Knowles donned the new smokingwear and toted the latest cigars at the Courage Under Fire gala, a gathering of the country’s most influential Catholic, pro-life, and faith leaders envisioning the future of the country. This year’s speakers included Knowles, Butker, and top-charting Father Mike Schmitz, among others; Knowles’ Daily Wire cohort Matt Walsh emceed the event. The evening culminated in a VIP after-party hosted by Mayflower.

Mayflower’s explosive growth – 630% increase in retail availability since 2024 and over $5 million in revenue since its launch – is driven by the same crowd who attended the gala: Gen Z and millennial men turning to figures like Knowles and Butker as part of a broader cultural revival centered on marriage, family, and faith.
For those who missed the Dream launch, Mayflower’s flagship blends — Mayflower Dawn and Mayflower Dusk — remain in supply and every bit as exceptional. Mayflower Dawn, with its creamy Connecticut wrapper and notes of wood and coffee, offers a smooth, contemplative experience; the Mayflower Dusk, wrapped in rich Ecuadorian Habano, delivers a bolder profile with hints of cocoa, espresso, and oak. Both blends are available in a range of formats, including boxes of 15 and fresh packs, gift-worthy bundles, and curated assortments like the 8-Cigar Sampler and Captain’s Capsules. And just in time for Father’s Day, Mayflower is offering 10% off orders* with code DAD10 and free shipping on orders over $250—making it the perfect moment to introduce Dad to the brand that’s quietly redefining American luxury.
