Cigar Radar

Wherever a cigar lover goes, he or she has a little cigar-shaped portion of their conscious brain, always on the lookout. You know what we mean; you’ll be walking down a street in a city near or far and the rare scent of good tobacco drifts to your nostrils.

Big ‘uns and little ‘uns

If you’re a regular at Sautter, you’ll probably understand that thinner is not always a winner here.

Most of our regulars – and El Jeffe himself, of course – favour large cigars. In some cases, very large cigars. As an example, take a look at our sneak peek video of the monster Super Mario; a 60 Ring Gauge by 101mm titan (it’s rolled exclusively for us in Cuba) on the Sautter YouTube channel.

Selfless

One of the millions of things we love about cigars is that they’re there for you – no matter what. Like the faithful hound that is always pleased to see its Master, the trusty cigar passes no judgment.

Partagas

A legend among cigarmakers and a byword for power beautifully blended, Partagás is one of Cuba’s most famous longfiller sons. The bold red and gold band; the Deontay Wilder, freight train punch; the Rosado wrappers; the exciting, sneeze-inducing smells of well-aged tobacco. This is Partagás as we have grown to know and love it down the ages.

Cigar Brethren

The cigar world is changing. You may not notice it much at the sharp end – where consumers buy and enjoy their cigars – but it’s changing nonetheless.

Summer Smokes

The past weeks have been a blast from the past. Summers like these only existed when we were kids right? When teachers at school took pity on you on hot days and allowed you to work outside on the grass.

Video Nasties

It’s not very British to blow your own trumpet. In fact, it’s frowned upon, although maybe not quite so much as it once was. Today, after all, is the age of boasting what you’re up to on Instagram; having selfies with ‘celebs’; humble bragging about your charity work; making sure the world knows what you had for breakfast on Facebook. It’s enough to make one shudder.

Prince Of Smoke

Do you know Hirochi Robaina? Allow us to introduce you. Hirochi’s grandfather, Alejandro Robaina, was up there with the most famous cigar men ever. The Cuban tobacco farmer lived to a ripe old age (into his 90s) and had a simple existence, although the man was anything but.
