DC Pi5ot is a cigar built around movement, discipline, and understanding when to create your next opportunity. Named after the pivot foot in basketball, the blend reflects the same fundamentals that shape the game: balance, timing, leadership, and positioning yourself for what comes next.

Wrapped in a dark San Andrés leaf over an Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan fillers, the 6 x 54 toro delivers a rich, structured profile with depth and steady progression throughout the smoke. Expect layered notes of earth, cocoa, pepper, and natural sweetness balanced by a steady core of strength and refinement.

The story behind Pi5ot traces back to founder Jamond Hackley’s early connection to basketball and the influence of two figures who helped shape his perspective on life beyond the game: Hall of Famer Cee Russell of Slippery Rock University and former NBA star Jalen Rose. While their success on the court left an impression, their greatest impact came through the example they set off the hardwood — proving that with the right mindset and ability to adapt, opportunities extend far beyond a single path.

The use of the number “5” in Pi5ot pays tribute to Jalen Rose’s iconic jersey number throughout college and his NBA career, while the Kelly Green band honors Slippery Rock University and the foundation it helped create.
