The Story
Family heritage. New world craftsmanship.
Jovan and Uglješa Despot are the second generation of the Despot family in the cigar business. In 2019, they launched the idea of creating their private label — Despot Cigars.
Despot cigars are handmade from whole tobacco leaves in Estelí, the heart of Nicaragua, using carefully selected tobacco from some of the best tobacco regions in the world.
Happy smoke & long ashes.
Despot Cigars celebrates the classics and the timeless ritual of enjoying cigars.
