Chateau Diadem Conviction Toro
Today we are introducing a new brand to the Swiss cigar scene. Active for just a few years, "Chateau Diadem" invites us to join in its family adventure.
"Conviction" is a name that inspires. Behind its large blue and silver ring, the Equateur cape smells of sunshine and spices. When tasted neat, the first notes are woody, which are also found later in the tasting.
The draw is quite smooth on this toro, so opt for a straight cut punch to avoid overheating the leaves, and take your time.
The smoke is generous and gives the tasting a deep dimension, inviting meditation with retro-olfaction scents of coffee.
Tasting menu
Notes
Its Dominican and Nicaraguan blend brings nutty and earthy flavours that accompany us during the first third of the tasting. Over time, the cigar gains strength and also develops peppery notes. Towards the middle of our tasting, lighter and rounder cocoa aromas emerge and soften the experience.
About Chateau Diadem
Founded by two cousins from Geneva, Chateau Diadem joins the ranks of Swiss brands.
Created by Emily – a true epicurean and lover of fine dining – and Thierry – a long-standing aficionado and entrepreneur at heart – the cigars in their first range, “Conviction”, invite you to explore and reflect.
We had the pleasure of meeting Emily and Thierry from the Château Diadem brand. Emily Sahakian and Thierry Farah, both originally from Geneva, saw their ambition and determination become the driving forces behind the founding of a contemporary and daring cigar house, which is now thriving.
Inseparable friends since childhood, Emily and Thierry grew up in an environment heavily influenced by the world of cigars.
It is now with undisguised passion that these two cousins proudly carry the Château Diadem banner to Dortmund, and Emily confesses her fondness for the Lancero.
It was a great pleasure to meet these two enthusiasts, with their down-to-earth and authentic manner; their obvious camaraderie really touched us.
