Casdagli Villa Casdagli

The Casdagli cigars were globally known as Bespoke Cigars until the years 2018-2019. However, Jeremy Casdagli, the founder and owner, had to change the name due to trademark issues in the USA. He chose the name of the district in Cairo where the former family residence, Villa Kersal, was located. Later, Villa Kersal became Villa Casdagli, which was the center of the family in the early 1900s and became the namesake of Casdagli Cigars. In the summer of 2021, this (second) cigar line of the brand from Costa Rica was appropriately named as such.

Until then, Jeremy had all his cigars made by Casdagli at the Kelner Boutique Factory (KBF) by Hendrik Kelner Jr. in the Dominican Republic. It was only since 2019, with the Daughters of the Wind Line, that he expanded to Costa Rica, where they are now manufactured by the small Tabacalera IGM by Don Olman Guzman in Puriscal.

The Villa Casdagli cigars are completely hand-rolled and, of course, long-fillers, which means they are rolled with whole leaves. The blend is similar to the Daughters of the Wind, which were initially exclusively made for the US market. This means the filler consists of Peruvian, Dominican, and Nicaraguan tobaccos, with an Ecuadorian binder and an Ecuadorian wrapper. The Villa Casdagli cigars are produced at Tabacos de Costa Rica S.A., formerly known as Vegas Santiago. The design of the cigar band and boxes is also inspired by Villa Casdagli in Cairo, Egypt, the residence of patriarch Emmanuel Casdagli in the early 1900s.
