ADVentura Cigars and Marc Knobel: A Swiss Delight
“Flavor first – Label second,” is the compelling motto of ADVentura Cigars. Behind the brand is Swiss Marc Knobel, who has successfully introduced these cigars in his home country, where he also runs an online tobacco shop.
Authentic Flavor Over Big Names
Marc’s focus is clear: it’s not about big names but about delivering a great smoke. His goal is to create complex and satisfying cigars that delight aficionados. He is supported by the Tabacalera Henderson Ventura in the Dominican Republic. The tobaccos used are aged for five to seven years, and after rolling, the cigars are aged an additional six months to allow the flavors to fully develop.
The Diverse Portfolio of ADVentura Cigars
The ADV lines showcase a wide range of offerings. The Explorer is an aromatic and spicy cigar with elegant sweetness. In contrast, The Conqueror evokes the spirit of New World exploration with its slightly salty start. The box design, reminiscent of boats, emphasizes this nautical theme.
The nautical theme continues with The Navigator. Each format is named after famous explorers, and the cigars have a spicy character fitting for seafaring trade. The Royal Return comes in two variations – as the milder Queen and the bolder King, each with a distinct wrapper.
What exactly Barbarroja’s Invasion has to do with the German medieval emperor remains unclear. Instead, we focus on the facts: this cigar, with its Mexican San Andrés wrapper, boasts a bold and rich filler blend that we recommend for experienced aficionados.
Standing apart is the Piece of Heart. This elegant and enjoyable Belicoso is part of a charity project, with a portion of the proceeds donated to provide Caribbean children with much-needed glasses free of charge.
