Qunto
This cigar series is a project of the actor Blerim Destani, a cigar aficionado who invested a lot of time and passion into the development of these cigars. He is of Albanian descent and grew up in Germany. His main base is still here in Germany, although he travels extensively around the world for work. Over the past 20 years, he has appeared in numerous films and action series, which have made him widely recognized. In the Balkans, he has a "quasi" pop star status. Among other roles, he can be seen in a film from 2018 alongside John Travolta and Morgan Freeman. Furthermore, he is well connected in the acting and soccer player scene and is simply a down-to-earth, genuinely nice guy!
During our conversation, he mentioned that the term "Qunto" has a very positive meaning in his family. For example, his grandfather would use this attribute to express that someone has a great future ahead of them, will develop well, and in general, will "become" something. By the way, it is pronounced as "Dschunto," in case anyone is wondering how to pronounce this visual tongue-twister!
The cigars are produced in the small and fine boutique cigar factory Vegas Santiago in Costa Rica. The wrapper is a rich and glossy H-2000 leaf from Ecuador. Blerim also chose a leaf from this South American country as the binder. The filler is an aromatic blend of Dominican and Peruvian tobaccos, refined with some tobacco from Costa Rica.
In August 2018, we had the opportunity to experience the harmonious blend, and we firmly believe that these cigars have their rightful place. In January 2020, the "updated" version reached us with a slightly modified blend and a (even) more luxurious appearance of the bands and boxes. Additionally, he introduced an LD Limited Edition Sublimes, which bears the initials of his father.
