El Septimo
As CEO of El Septimo Geneva, Zaya’s mission is to revolutionize the global cigar experience. He envisions a world where every cigar is a luxurious art form. This vision was born from the realization that the industry was stagnant, plagued by subpar practices.
Core issues included lack of innovation, low-quality tobacco, and pesticide use, resulting in cigars with unpleasant odors, harshness, and bad aftertaste. The art of blending tobacco from different regions was overlooked, with many relying on single-origin tobacco that lacked complexity.
​
El Septimo addresses these issues head-on. We revive time-honored blending techniques, select the finest tobacco, and avoid pesticides. This ensures our cigars exceed expectations. Our dedication to innovation is evident in every cigar. We meticulously blend leaves from different regions to create unique, flavorful profiles. This commitment to quality sets us apart.
​
El Septimo aims to elevate the entire smoking experience, offering cigars that exemplify how tobacco should be blended and enjoyed. Through our relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation, we proudly create the world’s best cigars, setting new standards for an industry ready for change.
​
The Rarest Tobacco, Unmatched Quality The secret to our unparalleled cigars lies in our use of the rarest tobaccos in the world, sourced from exclusive plots that yield only the most flavorful leaves. These tobaccos are not just rare; they are treasures of the earth, cultivated without the use of pesticides, ensuring every leaf is as pure as it is potent. This dedication to natural growth processes not only preserves the integrity of the tobacco but enhances the distinct flavors that define each El Septimo cigar.
​
Pesticide-Free Cultivation In our pursuit of excellence, we embrace pesticide-free cultivation practices, a commitment that sets us apart in the tobacco world. This approach ensures that every cigar from El Septimo not only delivers a cleaner, more refined smoke but also respects the environment and the health of our patrons. It is our belief that the best cigars are those made with not only skill but stewardship.
