Milestones: A Miles Davis Tribute LE

Miles Davis is considered by many to be the most influential figure in both jazz and 20th-century music. In honor of his legacy and 100 years since the jazzman’s birth,  Ferio Tego has teamed up with the Miles Davis Estate and independent music publishing company Reservoir Media to create a commemorative, limited-edition cigar called Milestones, after Davis’ 1958 album (and its title track) as part of the official Miles Davis Centennial celebration.

“Jazz and handmade premium cigars share a great deal,” says Herklots. “Both are often misunderstood and underappreciated. Both require tremendous discipline to create. And both instill joy, inspire passion and foster community. I have played the music of Miles Davis countless times with musicians I had never met, who spoke languages I could not understand and came from places I had never been, yet we could all play the same tune. Premium cigars offer the same thing.”

Production is limited to 1,600 boxes in total, with 400 of each sketch available. A QR code on the box links consumers to a curated playlist by Herklots, Reservoir Media and the Miles Davis Estate of tracks to listen to as they smoke the cigars.
