Christo Cigars
The cigars of the brand "Christo" are produced in Bad Lobenstein, a small town in the Thuringian Slate Mountains. What makes this small factory special is that it is a recognized workshop under the Severely Disabled Persons Act. The operator is the Diaconia or Diaconia Foundation, which explains the name of the cigar. Initially, there was a thought of a "cheap" and at least partial name imitation of the Cuban Montecristo, but when the package arrived, the connection between "Christo" and "Christus" (Christ in German) became evident.
These cigars are crafted by four employees and assisting volunteers. Naturally, the Christo cigars can be purchased at the workshop stores in Altengesees and Bad Lobenstein, as well as directly at the cigar factory. Of course, buying them from us is even more convenient!
The tradition of cigar making was reintroduced on the grounds of a former cigar factory dating back to 1886 in Bad Lobenstein by Norbert and Christoph Hetterle. During a vacation on the Canary Islands, the two became interested in the topic. They then visited a small cigar factory nearby, and the impressions they gained there solidified their desire to integrate their own small cigar factory into their charitable workshop. External experts selflessly assisted in the opening and shared their rich experience. With their help, not only traditional artisan tools were created based on historical models but also the blends were crafted. Since 2005, Christo cigars have found enthusiasts all over Germany.
