Dalay Oase
Our favorite colleague Salih Dalay, long regarded in the industry as one of the pleasantly “positively crazy” characters, has once again created something “beautiful”: the DALAY OASE cigars were designed for those moments when a good cigar doesn’t require much time but should still show character. With their distinctive format somewhere between a Half Corona and a Short Robusto, they are perfect for a short break in the morning, a pause in between, or a relaxed end to the day. The cigars are crafted at the Dominican Manufaktur Zauberberg. A dark Ecuador wrapper meets Dominican tobaccos, developing a creamy mild smoking experience with nutty sweetness and delicate notes of honey and chocolate. Despite their compact size, the Dalay Oase cigars open with an immediately present aroma and remain pleasantly uncomplicated in their burn.
DALAY OASE Cigars with Personality and History
Behind the series stands Salih Dalay, who did not simply aim to create another premium cigar with the Oase cigars presented here. The project was inspired by his father’s stories about Nasreddin Hodscha, the legendary wise trickster of the Orient. This blend of humor, serenity, and wisdom of life continues to shape the character of the series to this day. The packaging also reflects this idea: these Dominican cigars are practically bundled in paper packs of five, making them ideal for on the go. With great passion, creative ideas, and numerous successful projects, Salih and his team in Saarbrücken have established a solid reputation among aficionados. All the more reason we are delighted to continue this trusted collaboration for many years. Here you will find all Dalay cigars available in Germany.
Mild Dominican Cigars for Everyday Enjoyment
The Dalay Oase cigars are aimed at connoisseurs seeking a mild cigar with full flavor. The balanced blend of Dominican filler tobaccos provides a smooth spice, while the selected Ecuador wrapper adds a creamy sweetness. Especially on the go, the series plays to its strengths: uncomplicated, aromatic, yet with enough depth for experienced aficionados. The compact format makes them the ideal companion for short moments of enjoyment without sacrificing the character of classic longfiller cigars. My test sample confirmed these characteristics in the most pleasant way.
