Don Stefano Cigars: Imports and Private Labels
Anyone assuming that Don Stefano is a Latin American tobacco specialist is falling for a cleverly laid trail—one set with great skill and a healthy dose of self-irony. In reality, Don Stefano is the brainchild of Steffen Rinn, a man from central Hesse, Germany. Previously a co-owner of the company Rinn & Cloos, he founded Don Stefano in Wettenberg, near Gießen, after Rinn & Cloos was absorbed by Dannemann.
A Clever Misdirection
Don Stefano operates in two business areas. On the one hand, the company imports cigars, including renowned names such as Perdomo and the trendy PDR by Abe Flores. On the other hand, Don Stefano offers a vast selection—truly vast—of its own products. 100% tobacco at its best is the motto that Don Stefano proudly upholds. With this commitment, the Hessians primarily market well-crafted shortfillers like the cigars simply called Don Stefano or the Happy Hour series, featuring exquisite Brazil and Sumatra tobaccos.
As an avid hunter, Steffen Rinn has even created cigars dedicated to his passion. The Waidmannsheil series, named after traditional hunting expressions like "Rackelhahn" and "Totverbeller," are not only made for the hunting stand but also for enjoyable moments before or after.
Don Stefano Longfiller Cigars
But Don Stefano also knows a thing or two about longfillers—undoubtedly helped by the fact that the founder himself is skilled in the art of cigar rolling. Those wanting to see for themselves should try Premium. Exceptional quality at an unbeatable price can be found in the Star Bundles. These cigars come from a prestigious Dominican tabacalera, whose name remains a secret but is renowned for producing premium cigars. For special occasions, Don Stefano also offers exclusive selections: the remarkable Grand Royal celebrated the company's 20th anniversary, while the 25 Years edition, crafted by business partner Perdomo, marked a quarter-century of excellence.
Sampler Packs for a First Impression
As you can see, Don Stefano offers a vast selection. For those looking to explore, sampler packs are available. While they can’t represent the full range—given the sheer variety of products—they provide an excellent introduction to the Hessian brand.
Endless Cigarillos: Don Stefano's Unmatched Selection
The lineup wouldn’t be complete without Don Stefano’s vast assortment of cigarillos. Whether you prefer Best, Original Fehlfarben, the Red Series, or want to befriend Don Stefano’s Bella—give them a try!
Outstanding smokes are also promised by the Best Original Havana Fillers and the Gran Royal Cigarillos, blended as a complement to the anniversary cigar of the same name. And for those who enjoy flavored tobacco, Extra Aromatic is the perfect choice.
From Germany: Don Stefano Geudertheimer
By the way, cigars don’t always have to be exotic. While we typically think of Latin America for tobacco, Germany has its own tradition. Steffen Rinn honors this with the truly unique Geudertheimer—a puro blended exclusively from Palatinate and Baden tobaccos. Yes, the Southwest of Germany produces not only fine Riesling but also character-rich smokes, available as both cigarillos and corona-format cigars.
First-Class Rum Liqueurs
And finally, Don Stefano has thought about pairings too, offering a selection of first-class rum liqueurs designed to complement cigars perfectly. But even if you’re not smoking, the exquisite Belmont Estate Rum Liqueur is a delight—whether neat or in a fruity cocktail!
