El Septimo Gilgamesh

This cigar series from the premium manufacturer El Septimo is named after King Gilgamesh, believed to be the king of Sumer. This kingdom existed approximately between 3,000 and 2,500 BC and was located in southern Mesopotamia, present-day Iraq. Enough historical education? Well, let's return to the cigars.

We have been exclusively importing El Septimo cigars for several years and have built up an impressive portfolio of these unusual, rare, and often quite expensive cigars. The three vitolas presented here are the first of this brand to have a 50-ring gauge. This diameter is, for example, a common size for a classic Robusto.

The Gilgamesh cigars are made entirely from tobacco from Costa Rica. The Aqua Anu format consists of tobacco aged up to 10 years, offering a medium body, while the Sable Samash is made with tobacco aged up to six years, making them slightly stronger. The "king," King Sargon, is the strongest of these three variants.

The name of this luxury cigar brand, "the Seventh," represents the seventh day when, according to the biblical creation story, humans should rest. Even God rested after six days of hard work and creation. Freely translated or interpreted, this means that the aficionado should simply enjoy themselves and their life in peace and gratitude while they remain on this planet. The brand was originally founded in 2005 by Gilles Botquin and was eventually acquired in 2019 by the US real estate mogul Zaya S. Younan. As an avid cigar smoker, he fulfilled a lifelong dream with this acquisition and considers his products to be the "pinnacle of perfection" in the cigar production industry.
