Pledge98 Campaign

This Year's Initiative

In honor of the Pledge Prequel’s 98 rating when it was named Cigar of the Year in 2020, we launched the Pledge98 Campaign — donating $9.80 for every box sold between April 1 and April 30, 2025. Thanks to your support, this year’s campaign raised $11,907 for the Els for Autism Foundation! Through several years of Pledge98 campaigns and in-kind sponsorship of the Els for Autism Foundation’s golf challenges, we’ve now proudly raised and donated over $180,000 to this incredible organization. The best part? Making a difference is as easy as lighting up your favorite Pledge. Every box you enjoy continues to fuel a real and lasting impact.
