Laura Chavin Concours Perfecto

Launched to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the brand, around 2008, this line aims to embody an exceptional blend intended for discerning epicureans. Don’t be fooled, it is a symbolic reminder of quality and demand, not a real contest.

The Concours range by Laura Chavin symbolizes cigar refinement: a Dominican puro, complex, aromatic, listed among the brand’s best productions. This range underwent a major revival in 2019, with a qualitative relaunch, followed by a format extension in 2021.

After some financial troubles of the original brand, it was Willi Knopf who relaunched the brand, taking over the rights and launching a new “2019 edition” including reinvestment in the Concours range.

Tasting Notes

What immediately strikes us when cutting the cigar is the density of the tobacco in the cigar. Expect a rather tight draw and prefer a clean cut. This density will be confirmed throughout the tasting with a well-compact ash. Another visual aspect is the band, a quite charming decoration with its royal blue and bronze tones.

Raw, lovely chocolate aromas promise a gourmet tasting experience.

The Cigar Anecdote

The cigars of the Laura Chavin Classic Edition bring together in their blend tobaccos of exceptional quality, carefully aged for at least four to five years before being crafted.

About Laura Chavin

Following Laura Chavin’s bankruptcy in 2017, the brand was relaunched in 2019 by Willi Knopf, who reintroduced the Concours line with two sizes: Robusto and Diadema. In 2021, the range expanded with two new sizes: the Corona (43×140 mm) and the Perfecto (51×105 mm). These cigars are renowned for their aromatic balance, with woody, creamy or slightly spicy notes, and are crafted with a strong emphasis on artisanal quality.
Today, the Concours line represents a cornerstone of Laura Chavin’s renaissance, symbolising a refined and exacting approach to premium cigars.
Laura Chavin’s Concours range is not a competition in the sense of an organised contest, but an exclusive series of premium cigars intended for connoisseurs. Created in 2008 to celebrate the brand’s 10th anniversary, it embodies the excellence and finesse of Dominican puros – cigars made entirely from tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic. The name ‘Concours’ here evokes a selection of the finest cigars for the most discerning connoisseurs, with a focus on prestige rather than actual competition.
