It was a wonderful evening and Casdagli Cigars was honoured once again. \u201eThis is now the second year in a row that Villa Casdagli has won the award for the best cigar brand from other countries,\u201c he says proudly. Only just ahead of Casa Turrent, by around one per cent. So it was a neck-and-neck race!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cigar_trophy_best_brand_csta_rica_villa_casdagli.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cigar_trophy_best_brand_csta_rica_villa_casdagli.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cigar_trophy_best_brand_csta_rica_villa_casdagli-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cigar_trophy_best_brand_csta_rica_villa_casdagli-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, he recalls, it was the title of best cigar brand from Costa Rica. But this year they have secured the title as the leading brand among international cigar brands. It's a sign of how much the brand has grown in recent years. \u201eThis is really something big,\u201c adds Jeremy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-meister-seines-fachs\">Master of his trade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But we don't want to go into too much detail - after all, time is short. He raves about Villa Casdagli and its wonderful line of cigars, which are made in Costa Rica. \u201eThe blender, Olman Guzman, is a master of his trade,\u201c he explains. \u201eAnd through our collaboration with Tabacos de Costa Rica, we have gained access to Peruvian tobacco, which has helped us create a unique and rich but sweet blend.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we talk about Cigar Kings, which distributes Casdagli cigars in Germany. I ask Jeremy how this partnership came about. \u201eIt was a very natural development,\u201c he says. \u201ePhilip from Cigar Kings knows the market very well and it worked very well for all of us to join forces.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, they now not only share the German market, but also markets in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. \u201eIt makes sense to pool our resources,\u201c he says. \u201eAnd the advantage for our customers is that they receive consolidated deliveries.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/casdagli_cypher_3311.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/casdagli_cypher_3311.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/casdagli_cypher_3311-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/casdagli_cypher_3311-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-revolution-und-generale\">Revolution and generals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we're talking, Jeremy comes up with an extension to his range. \u201eDo you know our \u201aBrothers of the Saber\u2018?\u201c he asks me. Of course I know them, and Jeremy tells me the fascinating backstory: his love of Napoleonic history, which he developed as a child, and how this cigar is a tribute to historical generals. Each year the series honours a general on both sides of the conflict. Last year it was Prussia and France, this year France and Austria - and next year? Great Britain is on the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brothers_of_the_sabre_line_vater.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brothers_of_the_sabre_line_vater.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brothers_of_the_sabre_line_vater-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brothers_of_the_sabre_line_vater-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I find his anecdote about Radetzky, the Austrian general, particularly interesting. Jeremy tells how Radetzky and his officers marched through Milan smoking cigars, which ultimately led to an uprising and the start of the first Italian War of Independence. \u201eIt all started with smoking a cigar,\u201c says Jeremy and laughs. The story is incredible, and Jeremy has researched it vividly. \u201eThe European monarchies never found peace again, and all because of a cigar,\u201c he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brothers_of_the_sabre_line_neu.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brothers_of_the_sabre_line_neu.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brothers_of_the_sabre_line_neu-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/brothers_of_the_sabre_line_neu-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:1em\">At the end of our conversation, Jeremy thanks me and I thank him. It was a fascinating insight into the world of cigars and their historical significance. \u201eNext year,\u201c he says, \u201ewe'll have even more exciting stories.
