EGM Diademas

The EGM Diademas is a cigar for those truly special moments – majestic in size, elegant in appearance and crafted for aficionados who make a point of setting aside time to enjoy it. Its impressive length and classic figurado shape are reminiscent of a golden age of cigar craftsmanship, when artistry and grandeur took centre stage. This is precisely the feeling it conveys: a ‘statement smoke’ that sparks anticipation the moment you lay eyes on it, and is ideal for occasions when enjoyment is meant to be an event in its own right, rather than merely an accompaniment.

Giant Perfecto: impressive and steeped in tradition

Measuring 233 mm in length with a 55 ring gauge, the Diademas belongs to the premier class of formats. As a Giant Perfecto, it tapers at both ends – this ensures distinctive lighting and smoking characteristics and makes the smoking experience exciting and dynamic. Each cigar is individually wrapped in foil for protection, which is not only practical but also emphasises its exclusivity. If you’re looking for a cigar that will take centre stage in the evening, this size is made for the occasion.

Dominican Puro – entirely hand-made

Behind the impressive silhouette lies genuine craftsmanship: the EGM Diademas is made ‘Totalmente a Mano’, and according to the manufacturer, only particularly talented torcedores are employed for this task. As a Dominican Puro, the wrapper, binder and filler are all made from tobaccos sourced from the renowned Cibao Valley – a region known for its aromatic, finely textured tobaccos. The aim is not brute strength, but a balanced, smooth experience with a clear profile and plenty of elegance.

A cigar for special occasions – or as a humidor highlight

With its medium profile, the Diademas is surprisingly accessible, despite its monumental size. Perfect if you appreciate a long, leisurely smoke – for example, after a festive dinner, with aged spirits, or simply on its own with a glass of water and some good music. It also makes an impression in the humidor: whether as a conversation starter, a collector’s item or a well-deserved treat when you fancy ‘something special’.
