Leading Cigar Ladies in the Asia-Pacific

…and their favorite cigars:

Annis Arahma: Chone Master’s Select is my favorite, but I also love the Diplomáticos Bushido and Trinidad La Trova.

Asti Burhadall: The Esperitu Maestro. One of Esperitu Cigars’ latest blends – earthy, and elegant, with a touch of spice.

Agnès Caër-Piras: The Confidenciaal Lancero. This is my favorite cigar size and not initially part of the Confidenciaal range. I also have a very soft spot for Joya de Nicaragua’s Número Uno and any Flor de Selva cigars.

Carissa Gibalo: The Familija Lancero from our Nicaragua line. There’s something about its balance, flavor profile, and overall presence. It just fits so well with everything I am.
Nana Irawati: A Robusto is my usual choice for its perfect balance of time and taste. For longer, more immersive smoking sessions, I enjoy the bold presence of a Torpedo or Toro.

Maki Nakane: I like various brands. Usually, I only enjoy Robusto and Double Corona vitolas because these fit my lifestyle.

Daria Spitsyna: The Trinidad Fundadores and the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark. Each offers a unique journey – from the elegance and finesse of Trinidad to the complexity and legacy of the Fuente blend.

Hollie Taylor: The Meerapfel La Estancia Edición Exclusiva 50. A remarkably elegant cigar – layered, expressive, and impossibly smooth. I reserve it for special moments of reflection or celebration.

Thuy Van: The Davidoff Escurio Robusto. It’s sweet, spicy, and full of personality.

Rosanne Wong: The Cigar Kingdom Knight Series Robusto/Petit Corona and the Davidoff Signature 2000. I prefer a milder and creamy cigar.
