Don Emmanuel Cigars is widening its international presence, adding several key Caribbean and Latin American territories to its distribution footprint. The brand will now be available in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and additional Caribbean markets—an expansion tied to growing interest in its debut line, Anunnaki.
The company was founded by Brazilian cigar enthusiast Don Emmanuel, who developed the Anunnaki blend in collaboration with well-known master blender Eladio Díaz at Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera in the Dominican Republic. Emmanuel says the new markets represent an important step in the brand’s development.
“Expanding into these markets is a very meaningful moment for us,” Emmanuel said. “Each of these regions has a rich cigar culture and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. Bringing our vision, our blend, and our philosophy to more smokers across the Caribbean and Latin America reinforces what we believe in: cigars that celebrate energy, balance, and connection.”
Emmanuel’s interest in tobacco began in Brazil, shaped early on by family ties to the Suerdieck factory. Over the past two decades, he has built his approach by learning directly from factories and growers across Latin America. That experience helped form the concept behind Anunnaki, which combines his thematic inspiration with Díaz’s technical direction. The blend uses seven tobaccos, including a Dominican wrapper and a Mexican San Andrés Negro binder.
With the expanded distribution, all three Anunnaki sizes — Anu (6 x 52 Toro), Ki (5 x 50 Robusto), and the Corona Fina (4 x 38, tin of five) — are set to reach these new markets.
