ESPN has featured R&R Cigars for its legendary cigar selection, and it is the official cigar provider for the Alabama football team, celebrating the tradition of Alabama vs. Tennessee. The winner of Alabama and Tennessee smokes victory cigars in the locker room after the game, and R&R Cigars is the proud provider of the victory cigars for the Crimson Tide.

Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban is fond of the cigar tradition, and riled up Tennessee fans earlier this season when ESPN's College GameDay was in Knoxville for Texas at Tennessee.

"I'm all in on the University of Tennessee," Saban said on ESPN. "Because we smoked 16 out of 17 cigars when we played you all." The Tennessee fans began the segment chanting "Saban" before quickly shifting to boos after Saban set them up.

The Cigar Saban smoked, or rather, chewed on, is the Casa de las Estrellas cigar, provided by R&R Cigars in Tuscaloosa. The Casa de las Estrellas at R&R Cigars is currently on sale, with Reagan and Randy Starner running Fraternity Cigar Deals for the 2026 edition of the Third Saturday in October.
