With the Oliva Robusto Extra Edición Año 2025, the traditional Oliva company presents a strictly limited annual edition that combines craftsmanship, origin, and passion in a special vitola. This special edition is dedicated to the tobacco leaf and honors its journey from cultivation to finished cigar—a concept that appeals to connoisseurs and collectors alike.

The Robusto Extra format, with a ring gauge of 54, offers more volume than the classic Robusto and provides an intense yet balanced smoking experience. The cigar fits comfortably in the hand and develops a harmonious, steady increase in aroma over a smoking time of around 45 to 60 minutes.

A silky, oily Ecuador-Sumatra wrapper envelops carefully selected Nicaraguan fillers and gives the cigar its characteristic depth. Powerful roasted aromas unfold on the palate, accompanied by cedar wood, dark chocolate, and freshly roasted coffee. Spicy pepper notes and a delicate natural sweetness round off the flavor profile and ensure a balance between strength and elegance.

As an Edición Año 2025, this Robusto Extra is only available in limited quantities, underscoring its exclusive appeal. It is an excellent choice for special moments of enjoyment or as a valuable addition to a discerning collection. The Oliva Robusto Extra Edición Año 2025 stands for Nicaraguan quality, aromatic richness, and timeless cigar culture at the highest level.

With Legacy, Perdomo Cigars presents a cigar line that not only continues the brand’s history, but also marks a real step forward in innovation. At its heart is a newly developed tobacco hybrid that has never before been used in this form for a cigar and which gives Legacy its unmistakable character.

This special tobacco comes from the 600-hectare Finca Natalie plantation in Estelí, Nicaragua, where it is cultivated in the shaded area of the plantation. A hybrid of Cuban and Cameroonian seeds grows here in mineral-rich volcanic soil, combining the best characteristics of both worlds. Cuban seeds are known for their full-bodied flavor, excellent burn, and aromatic depth, while Cameroonian seeds are prized for their tough texture and delicate, natural sweetness. The result is an exceptional balance of strength, spice, and elegance that gives Legacy a new dimension of flavor.

The Nicaraguan shade-grown wrapper is particularly outstanding, and we have not previously offered it in this form on the cigar market. After an impressive ten-year maturation period in bale fermentation, it then receives the famous Perdomo finish in bourbon barrels for a further ten months. This elaborate refinement ensures depth, complexity, and a full-bodied, powerful smoke in which aficionados can discover notes of toasted bread, chocolate, orange honey, and pepper.

The Legacy line is complemented by an oily dark Maduro version from Nicaragua and a honey-colored Connecticut variant from Ecuador. Both undergo a similarly careful aging process, but are deliberately less strong and spicy than the shade-grown version. Despite their different charms, all variants share a common core: the Nicaraguan shade-grown binder, which is used in every genuine Legacy cigar and impressively reflects the diversity of this new hybrid.

The filler consists of a rich blend of selected Nicaraguan tobaccos from Estelí, Condega, and the Jalapa Valley. Combined with the highest level of craftsmanship, the result is a cigar that combines tradition, innovation, and quality, making Perdomo Legacy a special new addition to our range.

Dios del Sol is a young but remarkable cigar brand that was launched in fall 2025 by Kopp Tobaccos GmbH, one of Europe’s leading premium cigar importers. It marks the company’s first proprietary cigar blend and represents an important step in the company’s history: away from pure importation and toward the creation of its own premium products.

The name Dios del Sol means “God of the Sun” and is inspired by the cultural significance of the sun in ancient Central American civilizations—a symbol of life, new beginnings, and vitality. This guiding principle is reflected not only in the name, but also in the character of the cigars: sun-drenched, balanced, and accessible.

The series has been specially composed to appeal to a wide audience – from beginners to experienced aficionados. The blends consist of carefully selected tobaccos from Honduras with additions from Nicaragua, combined with a Connecticut wrapper from Honduras and a broadleaf binder. This mixture results in an aromatic smoking profile characterized by creamy textures, subtle sweetness, and delicately spicy notes.

It is particularly noteworthy that the brand is praised not only for its balanced tobacco blend, but also for its excellent value for money. This makes Dios del Sol an ideal choice for anyone looking for a cigar with character and quality without having to pay a premium price.

Overall, Dios del Sol represents a successful combination of traditional cigar craftsmanship and modern enjoyment—a brand that conveys authenticity, balance, and sunny joie de vivre with every puff.

The Manifesto cigar brand from Turkey impresses with its handcrafted cigars and cigarillos, which combine traditional tobacco craftsmanship with modern flavors. Carefully selected tobaccos and a proprietary infusion technique ensure a clear, authentic taste, while production is predominantly done by hand and no artificial bitter substances are used.

The variety of Manifesto flavors offers something for every taste: Classic stands for pure tobacco enjoyment, Black Grape for intense grape notes, Lemonade for fresh citrus aromas, Chocolate for delicate chocolate nuances, and Caramel for warm caramel accents. The brand thus appeals to both experienced connoisseurs and curious beginners who want to discover new flavors.

With its clear claim to authenticity, high quality, and taste consciousness, Manifesto is setting new standards in the international cigar market. The combination of traditional craftsmanship, careful tobacco selection, and balanced aroma intensity makes Turkish cigars a special experience for anyone seeking high-quality tobacco enjoyment.
