Made in Nicaragua. Designed in Munich.
Premium cigars, made entirely by hand in Estelí. Since 2016.
The Brand
Tradition is our Craft.
Design is our Signature.
CigarKings was founded in Munich in 2016 by Philipp Kugler, out of the conviction that an exceptional cigar can be more than a handmade product. It is an expression of personality, passion and the ambition to create something unique.
What began as a design project grew into an internationally represented premium cigar brand with a distinctive identity.
Our cigars are made in Estelí, Nicaragua, where centuries-old craftsmanship meets our own ideas of quality, character and innovation. Every blend, every format and every detail of our packaging follows a clear philosophy: respect tradition without letting it limit you.
We believe in the beauty of the essential. In exceptional tobaccos, honest craftsmanship and a design language that doesn't have to be loud to leave an impression.
Made in Nicaragua. Designed in Munich.
CigarKings is not simply a cigar brand. It is our interpretation of how tradition and contemporary luxury come together.
Blend
A cigar's character begins with the selection of its tobaccos. For our blends, we use carefully selected filler tobaccos from the Nicaraguan growing regions of Estelí and Jalapa. Two matched binder leaves provide structure and an even burn. Selected wrapper leaves from Ecuador complete the cigar and give each series its distinctive aroma. We deliberately rely on Viso and Seco tobaccos and forgo Ligero in order to create a balanced, multilayered flavor experience.
Rolling Style
Every CigarKings cigar is made entirely by hand in Estelí, Nicaragua – Totalmente a Mano. Our torcedores work with the traditional Entubado technique, in which the filler leaves are individually formed into fine tubes. This elaborate method supports an even airflow and a pleasant draw. The double binder gives the cigar additional stability, while a carefully crafted triple cap underscores the craftsmanship down to the last detail.

Quality & Distinctive Features
CigarKings combines traditional cigar making with an independent, design-driven philosophy. The focus is on the quality of the tobaccos used, the precision of the workmanship and the balance of every single blend. Our double binder construction, the Entubado rolling technique and the carefully matched aromas are characteristic. From the development of a blend to the design of its packaging, we see every detail as part of a whole. The result is cigars that convince not only through their flavor but also through their identity.
