EGM Empyrean Paraisos

The EGM Empyrean Paraisos is a cigar for connoisseurs who want to not only see luxury, but also taste it: part of the extremely limited-edition Empyrean range, crafted entirely by hand in the Dominican Republic and presented in a way that makes an immediate impression. As the longest format in the range, it offers plenty of scope for a leisurely, gradually developing smoking experience – perfect for evenings when you make a point of taking your time and celebrating the pleasure.

Empyrean: EGM’s premium range

Empyrean sits at the very top of the EGM Cigars portfolio and is produced in very small quantities from aged tobaccos sourced from the fertile Cibao Valley. Each cigar is crafted ‘totalmente a mano’ by highly experienced rollers – with the aim of delivering balance, structure and a flawless draw. This line is aimed at aficionados who appreciate boutique quality and an elegant, mature flavour profile.

Torre Iznaga – the longest size in the range

The Paraisos comes in the ‘Torre Iznaga’ vitola de galera and measures 170 mm with a ring gauge of 52. Thanks to its extra length, the blend unfolds particularly harmoniously: the start is refined and controlled, after which the flavour builds layer by layer. One striking detail makes it unique within the Empyrean range: it is the only size to feature a classic pigtail cap – a traditional touch that showcases the craftsmanship and adds a touch of ritual to the cutting process.

Presented like a collector’s item

Visually, too, the Empyrean Paraisos plays in the premium league: it is typically presented in a blue-and-gold lacquered box of ten, complete with a protective band bearing the model name. This makes it an excellent gift for connoisseurs – or a special highlight in your own humidor. Anyone looking for a long, elegant cigar with a boutique feel will find here a smoke that is both exclusive and a true pleasure to smoke.
