Elevating Luxury: The Jake Wyatt Cigars Packaging Story by Creativo Rock
At Creativo Rock, we believe luxury is not just a style — it’s an experience. Every premium brand needs more than a product; it needs a story, a visual identity, and a design that resonates with its audience. That is why our collaboration with Jake Wyatt Cigars has been one of our most exciting journeys.
Cigars have always been a symbol of craftsmanship, tradition, and sophistication. But in today’s competitive market, a premium cigar company cannot rely solely on quality tobacco — the presentation and branding must match the excellence of the product inside. This is where luxury packaging design plays a critical role, and where Creativo Rock’s expertise comes to life.
Over the years, we have partnered with Jake Wyatt Cigars on several projects, creating iconic luxury designs for their special collections. From myth-inspired storytelling to multi-product unification and classic themes reimagined, our team has helped the brand stand out in a crowded market while staying true to its identity.
Crafting Luxury with Icarus
One of the first major projects with Jake Wyatt Cigars was the Icarus collection. Inspired by the legendary Greek myth, the client envisioned a product that would capture the elegance, tragedy, and timelessness of the story of Icarus.
Jake Wyatt Cigars provided the logo for Icarus, but everything else was a blank canvas. That’s where we came in. At Creativo Rock, we designed the cigar bands and luxury box packaging, ensuring that every element reflected a sense of mythology and prestige. The details had to evoke history while still feeling modern, polished, and high-end — the type of product that cigar enthusiasts could proudly display and savor.
Our approach was to lean into the symbolic nature of the Icarus story: the ambition of flying high, the beauty of light, and the consequence of pushing boundaries. Through careful design, we incorporated these references without making the packaging too literal. Instead, the design became a luxury interpretation of myth, a piece that honors tradition while standing confidently in the modern premium cigar market.
This is what sets luxury design apart — it is not simply decoration, but visual storytelling that enhances the consumer’s emotional connection to the product.

The Titan Series: Goliad, Colossus, and Omega
Another ambitious collaboration was the creation of the Titan Series, a special collection of three distinct cigars — Goliad, Colossus, and Omega — all presented in a single luxury box.
The challenge was not small: how do you take three cigars with their own unique names and personalities and merge them into a unified series without losing their individuality? Each cigar had to shine on its own, but together they needed to feel like one family.
Our solution was to design a system of visual consistency. We crafted the cigar labels, bundle stickers, and the master box packaging, ensuring that while each cigar name carried its own symbolism and flavor identity, the overall series felt cohesive.
For example:
Goliad required a bold and strong aesthetic.
Colossus leaned toward grand, imposing, and powerful elements.
Omega had to feel final, complete, and eternal.
The master box design brought all of these themes together, creating a harmonized luxury presentation that reflected the strength and exclusivity of the Titan Series. The result was a collection that not only stands out individually but also carries an unmistakable unity when displayed as one.
This project demonstrates how good design solves complex branding challenges — finding balance between diversity and consistency, individuality and harmony.
The King’s Guard: Chess Meets Classic Luxury
The third major project in our collaboration with Jake Wyatt Cigars was The King’s Guard, a cigar inspired by the timeless elegance and strategy of chess. Chess, after all, is more than a game — it’s a metaphor for intelligence, patience, and power, qualities that align perfectly with the luxury cigar lifestyle.
Our design team worked on the cigar band and bundle sticker, taking inspiration from the aesthetics of chess while maintaining a luxurious and classic tone. The challenge was to avoid cliché visuals and instead create a refined interpretation that would appeal to premium cigar enthusiasts.
The result is a design that embodies classical luxury, a perfect mix of regal symbolism and modern elegance. Every detail — from the textures to the typography — reflects the sophistication of a brand that understands its audience and respects its traditions.
With The King’s Guard, we showed once again how Creativo Rock excels at transforming concepts into visual masterpieces that elevate the product experience.Why Luxury Packaging Matters
Luxury brands require more than just good design — they need a deep understanding of visual storytelling, premium materials, and consumer psychology. At Creativo Rock, we have the expertise to:
Translate a brand’s vision into timeless, luxury packaging
Build cohesive collections that balance individuality and unity
Craft experiences that elevate product perception and consumer loyalty
When it comes to cigars — a product rooted in tradition, craftsmanship, and exclusivity — design is not just packaging, it’s part of the experience.
Why Luxury Packaging Matters
Luxury products are not only about what they are — they are about how they are perceived. In industries like cigars, fine spirits, fashion, and jewelry, packaging is as important as the product itself.
First impressions matter: Packaging is often the first interaction a customer has with a brand. Luxury packaging ensures the product feels premium before it is even opened.
Storytelling through design: A great package communicates heritage, values, and exclusivity without words.
Emotional connection: Premium consumers look for experiences, not just products. Luxury design builds that connection.
Brand differentiation: In a crowded market, luxury packaging sets a brand apart and elevates its positioning.
At Creativo Rock, we combine storytelling, design expertise, and a deep understanding of luxury markets to help brands create products that don’t just look good — they feel unforgettable.
