Don Stefano Cigars: Exclusive In-House Brands and Exquisite Imports
Anyone expecting Don Stefano to be a Latin American cigar manufacturer is being playfully misled—with a good dose of self-irony. In reality, this name belongs to German cigar expert Steffen Rinn. Originally a partner at Rinn & Cloos, he founded his own manufactory in Wettenberg near Gießen after the company was integrated into Dannemann.
Tradition Meets Innovation
Don Stefano unites two business areas: On the one hand, the brand imports renowned cigars such as Perdomo or PDR by Abe Flores. On the other hand, the company offers a wide range of its own creations. Under the motto "100% Tobacco at Its Best", high-quality shortfillers are crafted here, including the classic Don Stefano Cigars and the Happy Hour series with select Brazil and Sumatra tobaccos.
As a passionate hunter, Steffen Rinn created a very special cigar series: Waidmannsheil. Inspired by hunting traditions, the individual formats bear names such as Rackelhahn or Totverbeller and are the perfect companions for hours in the hunting blind—or for relaxing moments afterward.
Exclusive Longfillers by Don Stefano
Discerning longfiller aficionados will also find what they’re looking for at Don Stefano. Steffen Rinn himself masters the art of cigar rolling, a skill that is reflected in the quality of his creations. A prime example is the Premium series, which combines excellent craftsmanship with an outstanding price-performance ratio. Particularly sought after are the Star Bundles, produced in a prestigious Dominican manufactory.
On special occasions, Don Stefano releases exclusive limited editions: For its 20th anniversary, the outstanding Grand Royal was introduced, while for its 25th anniversary, 25 Jahre—an exclusive creation in collaboration with Perdomo—marked another milestone.
Sampler Packs for Explorers
For a first introduction to the brand’s assortment, the sampler packs are an excellent choice. They provide an exciting glimpse into the variety of the brand, even though they can hardly represent the full range of offerings.
A Paradise for Cigarillo Lovers
The Don Stefano lineup wouldn’t be complete without its extensive selection of cigarillos. Whether you choose Best, Original Fehlfarben, the Rote Serie, or the Bella—there’s something for every taste.
A highlight for lovers of intense aromas are the Best Original Havana Fillers as well as the Grand Royal Cigarillos, created as a refined addition to the namesake anniversary cigar. Those who prefer flavored cigars will find the perfect choice in Extra Aromatic.
German Puro: Don Stefano Geudertheimer
Cigars don’t necessarily have to come from overseas. Germany also has a long tradition of tobacco cultivation. With the Geudertheimer, Don Stefano returns to its local roots. This puro consists exclusively of select tobacco from the Palatinate and Baden regions—an extraordinary alternative for connoisseurs who appreciate something special.
Harmonious Pairings: Fine Rum Liqueurs
No cigar experience is complete without the right beverage. Don Stefano offers an exquisite selection of rum liqueurs specially crafted to complement cigars. Particularly recommended is the Belmont Estate Rum Liqueur, which is a delight both neat and in cocktails.
