The origin of the house. Coffee composed not by roast level, but by the cigar it is created to accompany.
A fine cigar deserves more than whatever happens to be in the cup beside it. The Cigar Ritual Series pairs three permanent compositions with the three great families of cigar strength — so that the coffee lifts the smoke, and the smoke returns the favour.
Composed over years in the lounges of Switzerland and the Riviera, each blend is described the way a connoisseur would describe it: by profile, strength, finish and the cigar it was born to sit beside.
Bright, silken and delicately floral. Composed for claro and connecticut cigars, and for the first, unhurried smoke of the day.
Rounded, warm and quietly spiced. The companion to medium-bodied habanos — the centre of the ritual, and of the house.
Deep, resonant and long on the finish. Made for maduro wrappers, late hours and conversations that deserve to continue.
Turn a Ritual Series vessel over and you will find its story told the way a cigar band tells its own — profile, strength, finish and pairing, written for the person holding it. No jargon, no noise: only what a connoisseur would wish to know before the first pour.
The Cigar Ritual coffer presents all three compositions together — a study of the series from silk to shadow, finished for the humidor room rather than the kitchen shelf.
Favoured by lounges as a tasting introduction, and by private clients as a gift that says a great deal without saying anything at all.
The Ritual Series is served in cigar lounges and members' rooms where pairing is treated as a craft. For lounges wishing to introduce the series, we begin — as always — with a conversation.
