HEMMY'S

Hemmy's Robusto cigars from the Dominican Republic. A mix of pleasant creaminess and medium strength. Start your journey of pleasure with a bouquet of wood, earth and leather, which is enriched with a nuance of tobacco sweetness, cream and coffee as you smoke.


Each cigar is made by two experienced rollers: while one carefully creates the filler, the other checks it and rolls the wrapper perfectly over it. This craft duo guarantees an almost perfect smoking experience with every single cigar.


Chateau Diadem

Explore the pleasure of the Chateau Diadem Conviction Robusto - a cigar that offers an unforgettable smoking experience with expressive aromas of cocoa, coffee, earth and nuts.


The unique fusion of the volcanic soils of Nicaragua with the soft, creamy notes of the Dominican Republic creates a truly harmonious composition.




Cimarron

The El Artista Cimarron Connecticut Robusto is one of the premium lines of the up-and-coming Dominican brand. This cigar has a robust and fine-veined Connecticut wrapper from Ecuador, combined with select Dominican filler and binder tobaccos. The pleasantly medium-strength cigar caresses the palate with a wonderfully fine, creamy smoke, accompanied by complex aromas of wood, nuts, coffee and earth, and a subtle but remarkable spiciness. The excellently crafted Robusto format shows no weaknesses when burning or drawing and offers an all-round perfect smoking experience.


Friday, 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., Nicaragua

Schustercigars

Bentley cigars, exclusively distributed by Schuster Zigarren from Bünde. Immerse yourself in the pleasure of a mild, creamy Nicaraguan cigar, made from the finest tobaccos from Condega and the Jalapa Valley.


This experience is accompanied by a 13-year-old Barbados rum, which spent a large part of its maturation in bourbon barrels on the island and then found its finish in Europe in fine cognac barrels.

Barreda Cigars

Barreda Cigars is recognized as a factory deeply rooted in family traditions, where honoring the family through their cigars is a great privilege. This commitment has inspired the creation of the Don Chico Cigar lines, a tribute to Francisco Barreda, the patriarch of the Barreda family, who passed down his passion for tobacco to future generations.



Don Chico Connecticut, a medium bodied cigar, full of flavor. You will fully experience the depth and nuances with every puff. This cigar offers an elegant smoking experience. You may perceive delicate hints of dried fruits, subtle bitter notes of cacao, and refined undertones of mild spices. This well-balanced blend delivers a unique experience that sets it apart from traditional Connecticut cigars. Truly unlike any other Connecticut, you must try it to appreciate the difference.


Joya de Nicaragua 

For decades, Joya de Nicaragua has hosted private cigar blending sessions at their factory in Estelí as an intimate exercise for partners and friends to experience their cigar-creation method. Seeking boldness and genius from them, their master blenders meticulously reviewed hundreds of blending records and, through tabulation and co-creation, achieved a perfect-scoring recipe. Inspired By Amigos. Blended By Maestros. Crafted For Those In The Know.

 

Five out of five in profile and meaning. Medium to full-bodied with deep, rich, earthy flavors and hints of cocoa and dark chocolate. Cinco de Cinco is made from ultra-prime vintage tobacco and features a México San Andrés wrapper with Nicaraguan fillers and binders in a soft-pressed format. Stunningly complex and yet harmonious from beginning to end. Like a bright emerald, this blend shines as the rare and mystical jewel it is.

TURRENT HOUSE 1880

The year 1880 marks the Turrent family's entry into the tobacco business in Mexico. Today, the family is the largest tobacco grower, tobacco exporter and cigar manufacturer in Mexico. Discover a cigar that will seduce your senses with its aromas of damp earth, leather, smoky wood, honey and a hint of dark chocolate. This medium to strong cigar is intended for experienced smokers and is ideal for enjoying after a meal.


Combine them with a fine rum or an aged tequila for the perfect finish or enjoy them in the morning with a cup of coffee.


StrongCigars

StarkeZigarren discovered the Audaces 2011 from Peru back in 2019. It was the outstanding cigar of an old series from Tabacalera del Oriente. It remained in the aging room and was never marketed again. The tobaccos of the Audaces 2011 date from 2011. The Peruvian Puro was rolled in 2013 but ultimately never sold. A customer was probably unable to pay his bill at the time. We will bring the remaining quantities from StarkeZigarren to Germany - provided that the old long fillers are well received by the aficionado.


Vegas de Santiago

Among the many exceptional formats in this line of cigars from Vegas de Santiago, the D8 Robusto is a highly prized cigar. Made in Costa Rica, the 12.80 cm long, 1.98 cm diameter filler (50 x 5) comes from the Caribbean, and the wrapper and binder from Ecuador. The cover leaf is a so-called H-2000 Leaf. As the details of the blend remain secret, all the tobaccos used are aged for at least three years. The taste of Vegas de Santiago D8 Robusto is mild to medium-bodied. Nutty, woody aromas are present from the start, gradually evolving into notes of Arabica coffee, leather, earth and creamy fragrance as the smoke progresses. The good catch of fire, the firmly marbled ash cone and the optimal draft resistance make the 60 minutes or so of smoke a particularly harmonious experience.



Sierre Madre, one of the leading German importers and distributors of high-quality spirits, is the official sponsor and supplies the appropriate rum for all three pairing days.
