These cigars ARE for you if: • You can’t visualise any form of cigar other than a Cuban Robusto. |
De Hertogh Cigars (Formerly “Young Selection”)
In 1995 Ton Buenen started producing De Graaff cigars in ’s-Hertogenbosch, Holland, in the original Dutch style. Then came the name “De Hertogh” – cigars combining years of experience and excellent craftsmanship.
In line with the general trend, Ton has decided to move production of his cigars (machines and all) to the Dominican Republic.
Hopefully we will have them again – one day.

Agio (meaning added value) cigars were started as A Wintermans & Son in 1904
by Jacques Wintermans in the small Brabant town of Duizel. Four generations later, they are the last independent cigar company in the Netherlands, with Boris and Jonas Wintermans in control.
Over the years they expanded their production, opening factories in Sri Lanka, Belgium and Dominican Republic (for handmade long-filler cigars).
In 1983 as part of the expansion they bought the “Balmoral” brand from Douwe Egberts – and this is their premium brand both in short filler produced in the Netherlands, and in the long filler Dominican cigars.
Agio head office and production location with an BREEAM certificate for the design phase.
Built on the foundations of the old building, the result is a virtually CO2-neutral building.
The short filler Balmoral cigars from the Netherlands
The blends of 100% tobacco are carefully conceived, in line with their philosophy that a blend is only as good as its weakest component
Filler
Cuba: Havana Remedios, from one of the protected Denomination of Origin regions. This is also the source of leaf for José L Piedra Cuban cigars.
Java: Indonesian Bezuki leaf native to East Java, for the distinctive aromatic flavour.
Brazil: Brazil leaf is dark brown to black in color after fermentation, with a mild to medium strength and rich flavor; it is very aromatic, and has a natural sweetness.
Binder is Java Bezuki
Wrapper is fine Sumatra Sandblatt (sand leaf).
Sandblatt are the leaves which grow just above the ground and are in contact with sand. Normally these leaves are used basically for filler, but the Sumatra Sandblatt leaves are very rich in flavour and offer a mild yet aromatic smoke. They are cultivated only in very small quantities and are sought after by aficionados worldwide.
The three we have chosen are all the same blend.
More flavour will develop when you smoke the larger formats. 206.55
Diana Mini Cigarillos (85mm x 7.9mm)
A quick smoke – more flavour than you would expect for the size.
Oxford Tuitknak format (91mm x 12.6mm)
The unusual Tuitknak shape means that your
light up smoke
is almost entirely flavourful wrapper.
Highlands Senoritas (111mm x 12.2mm)
A true senorita size – relatively slow-burning, the flavour develops
- ideal for a pleasant 20 minutes.
Davidoff Davidoff Mini Cigarillos have long been known and appreciated – a smooth, light easy smoke, unfailingly popular.
