Custom Cigar Ring Design

The Dark Hood cigar is the first custom cigar for cigar enthusiast Tastes of Cuba in coordination with DBL Cigars. The Tastes of Cuba brand embraces gritty, rugged individualism which played a key role in the design of the branded cigar ring that is placed near the base of the cigar.

This is the first design I have used AI as a base for starting the process. Utilizing an AI generated image started by the client I modified it through Procreate and Photoshop to make a stronger image. I further developed the supporting design elements and customized the typography for the cigar title.
