The El Septimo Vartan The Dragon is not merely a cigar, but a true statement of craftsmanship and luxury, representing the pinnacle of the brand’s blending expertise. Part of the prestigious Sacred Arts Collection, it is inspired by the legendary Armenian military leader Vartan Mamikonian, whose courage and unwavering dedication became a symbol of strength and resilience following the historic Battle of Avarayr in 451 AD.
Crafted through an extensive and meticulous process spanning over two years and more than 1,000 blend trials, Vartan The Dragon stands as a benchmark for modern cigar excellence. Only the finest tobaccos from the world’s most renowned growing regions are selected, with each leaf aged for up to 15 years to achieve exceptional depth, balance, and complexity. This dedication to perfection has earned the cigar significant acclaim, including recognition as a standout luxury release in Robb Report’s Best of the Best.
From the first light, the cigar delivers a full-bodied and commanding profile, opening with bold notes of dark spice, earth, and black pepper. As it develops, layers of espresso, cocoa, and subtle sweetness emerge, evolving further into hints of dried fruit, leather, and a creamy undertone that balances its strength. The result is a rich, multi-layered experience that remains refined throughout.
Impeccably constructed, Vartan The Dragon offers a slow, even burn and a consistently smooth draw, allowing its complex flavour profile to unfold gradually. Designed for those who appreciate the very highest level of cigar craftsmanship, it delivers a powerful yet elegant smoking experience that lives up to its name.
