Izambar Swindon

For this latest creation, Edmond and Antonio have once again prepared a wonderful surprise for us. Wrapped in a beautiful Ecuadorian cape, we find Nicaraguan tobaccos from the Jalapa and Condega regions.

First, the visual appearance. Like the brand's other cigars, it features a wide band with a steampunk look. This is a legacy of Izambar Brunel, the great English engineer of the early 19th century. The codes of previous vitoles are respected with a dark, oily wrapper that already makes us want to light it up.

Notes

Balanced and creamy. These two adjectives alone could characterise this cigar. Upon lighting, the first wisps of smoke are already dense and fill the room with the initial aromas of earth and leather.
Like Brunel's plans, everything here is measured down to the millimetre. The burn is perfect and the ash holds well. The increasingly complex aromas bring notes of spice and fruit.

Pairing

Accompanied by a stout, this cigar will take you on a journey through time, and you may even hear the distant whistle of a steam locomotive.

The cigar anecdote

Swindon railway station in England was one of the first places where a bar counter was installed, under the direction of Izambard Brunel himself. Cheers!

About Izambar

“Isambard Kingdom Brunel” was notably involved in the construction of the Thames Tunnel in London (the first tunnel to pass under a river).

Izambar takes its name from this great visionary of the early 19th century and pays tribute to his Victorian-era world. Each cigar in the range proudly features a wide, colourful band adorned with mechanical cogs.

A passionate lover of fine cigars for many years, and a graphic designer and interior architect all his life, Edmond joined forces with Antonio, and together they launched the brand’s first cigar in 2016 after more than a year of back-and-forth trips to Nicaragua. It is a generously sized double robusto. Its name: Izambar Kingdom.

Today, the brand has expanded and offers a range of sizes (gordo, perfecto, double corona, etc.) which we are delighted to introduce to you.
