Ibis Cigars – Affordable Longfillers with Westphalian Charm
With the brand Ibis, the traditional house of Schuster from East Westphalia presents a remarkable collection of attractively priced cigars. The distinctive scarlet bird on the cigar band symbolizes high-quality longfillers at an exceptionally attractive price-performance ratio. The manufacturer successfully combines traditional craftsmanship with modern efficiency, making no compromises on quality or flavor.
Ibis Cigars – Quality Enjoyment Through the Absence of Visual Sorting
The outstanding pricing of Ibis cigars is due to their categorization as "ungraded" cigars. These deliberately forego the labor-intensive sorting of wrappers by color shades—a measure of purely visual character—resulting in significant time and cost savings during production. However, the quality of tobacco and aromatic excellence remain fully intact.
Additionally, the bundle presentation contributes to cost optimization. In the past, bundled cigars had a reputation for inferior quality, but today more and more discerning cigar enthusiasts recognize: true enjoyment lies not in the packaging but in the quality and flavor of the cigar itself.
An Overview of the Ibis Cigar Range
Ibis Dominicana – The Mild Temptation
The Ibis Dominicana from Schuster is characterized by its mild nature and pleasantly light smoking experience. Exclusively produced for Schuster in the Dominican Republic, it combines high-quality Dominican Piloto tobacco filler, an aromatic Olor binder, and a delicate Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. A successful blend, ideal for gentle daily enjoyment.
Despite the attractive price, Ibis Dominicana stands for consistent quality. Philipp Schuster places great emphasis on intensive collaboration with the production facility to ensure continuous quality control. The result: an uncomplicated, pleasantly mild cigar appreciated by beginners and connoisseurs alike.
Ibis Nicaragua – Expressive Cigars with Spicy Character
The Ibis Nicaragua embodies the intense temperament of Nicaraguan tobacco at a convincingly affordable price. These longfillers are also offered as "ungraded," saving unnecessary costs while maintaining consistent quality.
The blend of Ibis Nicaragua was personally created by Philipp Schuster. It includes selected Nicaraguan tobaccos in the filler and binder, refined with a wrapper from Ecuador. The result is powerful, earthy-woody aromas with a multi-layered character. These budget-conscious cigars appeal equally to experienced smokers and newcomers who prefer premium enjoyment at affordable prices.
Ibis Honduras – Classic or Maduro, Always Convincing
From Honduras come two lines of the Ibis brand: the classic Ibis Honduras and the enticingly sweet Ibis Honduras Maduro. Both versions are produced under the supervision of the traditional Schuster factory and impress with excellent craftsmanship.
You can recognize the classic Ibis Honduras by its distinctive green cigar band, offering an authentic and honest smoking experience. The Maduro variant, on the other hand, delights with a gently sweet spiciness imparted by its Maduro wrapper. Particularly noteworthy is the extraordinary Antiguo Figurado, a complex double-tapered cigar requiring significant artisanal skill in rolling, delighting sophisticated cigar enthusiasts.
