Introducing Vartan the Dragon: not merely a cigar, but the new zenith of cigar craftsmanship. Forged from a vision that transcends the ordinary, the premium Vartan the Dragon cigar collection is more than exceptional—it is a standard bearer for the industry, a herald of what it means to embrace luxury without compromise.

This cigar embodies the spirit and legacy of the legendary Armenian military leader, Vartan Mamikonian. Known for his pivotal role during the Battle of Avarayr in 451 AD, Vartan became a symbol of courage and unyielding dedication to faith and freedom. This battle, while not a military victory, marked a significant moment in Armenian history, ensuring the survival of Armenian Christianity against the imposing forces of the Sassanian Persian Empire.

It’s no wonder this cigar was crowned by Robb Report Magazine as the Top Splurge of 2025 in its Best of the Best Issue. Crafted through a meticulous process that spanned two years and over 1,000 blend trials, Vartan the Dragon embodies perfection in every draw. This masterpiece is the culmination of a selection process so rigorous, only the finest tobaccos from the world’s premier regions make the cut. Each leaf is aged for an extraordinary 15 years, allowing for a complexity and depth of flavor that is unrivaled.
