I'd hope you'd do a little more research on a "too rare" cigar, before buying.

He never said he bought them. He said he has them in his humidor for Mike, which insinuates he’s storing them for Mike… did I interpret that wrong?

I mean this cigar is made for Mike, and i am so proud of having some in my humidor
 
In case anyone's wondering, Michael Jordan had a custom cigar made for him back in the early 2000's, which he named the MJ23 (23 being his jersey number). The cigar is a 10 inch double lancero with a 38 ring gauge. It was crafted by master roller Alejandro of Gurkha.

Originally a Saudi royal blend, it's got an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Dominican binder with a Dominican/Nicaraguan filler blend. Tobacco is fermented with banana leaves for a sweet, rum-like favor. Flavor profile is apparently creamy cedar with nuts up front, spicy leather mid-smoke, with cocoa/coffee notes on the finish. Full bodied but smooth.

However, the cigar @wang438 posted is not a double lancero, rather appears to be much shorter with a larger ring gauge. Also, the jumpman band appears to be just novelty, and not something licensed by Mike, as his brand umbrella only covers shoes, apparel and tequila (Cincoro). Nothing about cigars. If the cards were purchased and the cigar came with it, most likely just a novelty item and not the real deal. I'm going to say this is a bootleg cigar and not something licensed by MJ.

@wang438 I don’t know you yet, and while we occasionally see new members trying to push what they claim is a rare find—possibly for a quick sale—I hope that’s not your intent here. That said, you’ve landed in one of the sharpest cigar communities out there, with deep industry ties and a rich history. This isn’t your average Reddit thread or run of the mill forum; this is a truly unique and special place.

Looking forward to hearing more about your MJ cigar collection...

Bro, if your brother is "friends with Mike", shouldn't be that hard to get some info... Otherwise, what I posted above stands as accurate, until proven incorrect.
 
@wang438 Thats the SoleFly boutique cigar.
  • Brand: SoleFly (the Miami-based sneaker boutique owned by Michael Jordan’s brother-in-law, Carlos Prieto).
  • Collaboration: The cigar is part of SoleFly’s branded lifestyle drops — often tied to limited-edition sneakers, apparel, and exclusive events.
  • Identity: Not a mass-distributed cigar line; produced in very small runs, usually given to friends, family, and VIPs.
  • Value: The real value here is in its cultural and collectible crossover — sneakers, Jordan family influence, and luxury lifestyle branding.
  • Manufacture: Typically sourced from boutique Dominican or Nicaraguan blenders, but SoleFly doesn’t disclose which factory produces them.
  • Band: Features the Jumpman and SoleFly branding
  • Flavor Profile (reports from those who smoked one): Medium-bodied, smooth, with cedar, coffee, and spice notes.
I’d rather go for Mike’s favorite cigar Partagas Lusitanias

Cool, I have smoked one of your brothers cigars. It was really good. The one I smoked was a robusto, but would love to try a lancero at some point. Continued success to him!
