From its base in the heart of Switzerland, Presidente Cigars cultivates an approach to cigars that combines authenticity, a diversity of lines, and direct interaction with the community of enthusiasts. The brand has established itself as a player that values handmade products, personalized experiences, and moments of sharing around cigars, both online and at the physical boutique in Luzern/Eich.

 

A SACRED HISTORY

Presidente Cigars draws on more than 20 years of tradition. The story began in 1997 in the Dominican Republic, when Swiss native Marco Rudolf and Austrian Karl Ströml met in a small cigar factory. From this encounter, a clear vision was born: to create balanced and light cigars, prioritizing smoking comfort.

In Punta Cana, production started with a single experienced roller, before gradually expanding to reach more than 30 employees and an extended range. An aficionado of mild cigars with a smooth draw, Marco Rudolf directly influenced the development of the formats, notably with the Robusto 50. Initially reserved for a select circle, this creation would later become accessible to all, giving rise to the name Presidente Robusto 50.

Since 2009, Sandra Rudolf has embodied the brand as an ambassador, passionately driving the evolution and influence of Presidente Cigars.

 

THE RANGE

Three lines, three identities

Presidente offers a range structured around three main collections:

the BLUE Line, which embodies the classic and balanced expression of the brand's historic cigars;

the WHITE Line, a more aromatic series with lighter and more refined profiles;

 

the BLACK Line, dedicated to deeper and warmer experiences, often associated with more expressive tobaccos.

Each line is distinguished not only by its taste profile but also by the visual and sensory story it tells.

 


 

PERSONALIZATION

Label Cigars/Products

One of the most engaging aspects of the Presidente offering is the ability to personalize your own cigars via Label Cigars. This service allows customers to select their formats and create cigars with personalized bands for special occasions (corporate gifts, events, or private celebrations), guaranteeing entirely handmade production within relatively short timeframes.

 

 

BEYOND THE CIGAR

Accessories, humidors, and pairings

The house is not limited to its cigars. It also offers a selection of carefully chosen accessories, such as humidors built to ensure optimal preservation, with Spanish cedar interiors and precise hygrometers.

 

THE ART OF HOSPITALITY

Events

Presidente highlights a calendar of events, activities, and initiatives to bring connoisseurs together around tastings and moments of sharing. This experiential dimension reflects a desire for friendly hospitality and customer loyalty in a sector where the social dimension remains central.

 

IN SUMMARY

Presidente Cigars positions itself as a brand that marries artisanal craftsmanship with the contemporary needs of enthusiasts, by proposing a structured, customizable offering oriented toward the customer experience. LVX Geneva Cigars strives to offer its customers quality, exclusive products. This is why you will find Presidente Cigars only at LVX Geneva Cigars in French-speaking Switzerland.
