El Septimo Handrolled Luxury Premium Cigars
At the beginning of the century, El Septimo launched a life-long project: to move away from tradition that limits the quality of the world’s most important brands, and instead offer consumers something new: the best cigars in the world, developed by cigar connoisseurs and master blenders.
Tired of the same lackluster flavors, premature stocks, low-level manufacturing, lack of detail and quality control, and the widespread downgrade of Cuban crops, the El Septimo team decided to start from the beginning.
The first step was to find the best raw materials: the perfect tobacco leaf. Boosted by the growing demand for cigars across the globe, intensive farming already had a catastrophic effect on the stock and depleted soil used by traditional brands. So, it was urgent to find new soil.
Years of intensive research and visits to arable land around the world made the El Septimo team conclude that they needed to create their own supply from their own plantation. It would be the only means to get the standards they had previously agreed upon. As a result, the team found the ideal place to begin the process in the lush mountains of San Jose, Costa Rica.
What Our Cigars Are Made Of
In Costa Rica, the tropical climate, high altitude of 6,500 feet above sea level, and fertile soil create the perfect terroir. Costa Rica is covered with rain forest, so soil is very fertile and rich in minerals due to volcanic soil and stones, possessing less than a 35% base saturation. El Septimo utilizes precision farming techniques, which increases crop yield by increasing plant density, overall improving soil and facilitating optimal vine growth. Rain irrigation is solely utilized which contains high levels of oxygen, prohibiting root rot due to the overwatering of plants. In addition, by combining carbon dioxide present in rain water with other minerals in the atmosphere, an acidic pH is imparted, releasing micronutrients such as zinc, magnesiu
