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.
