(Description taken from Casdaglicigars.com website)
(Due to a trademark issue, Bespoke Cigars changed the name of its brand to Casdagli—pronounced cas-dag-lee—for the American market. This comes after an agreement with Alec Bradley, which holds the trademark for the word bespoke in the U.S. market.)

After a year long planning process Casdagli Cigars adds to its lineup the Villa Casdagli Line consisting of four vitolas. It will be launched partnering with Tobaccos de Costa Rica SA.

The Villa Casdagli Line consists of 4 vitolas: Toro, Pigasus (a figurado), Corona Gorda and Robusto. While the rest of the lineup’s vitolas are a classic choice, the one with an endearing nickname of the Pigasus holds a special place in Casdagli Cigars’ history. The Pigasus pays homage to its original “flying pig” — one of the first cigars to be bespoke created for Bespoke Cigars (Casdagli Cigars’ predecessor) in Cuba during the 1990s.

The blends of the new lineup are based on the Daughters of the Wind robusto that was solely produced for the USA market and achieved a popular following. The blends consist of Peruvian, Dominican, Nicaraguan and Ecuadorian tobacco most of which have been enhanced and enriched by the factory’s special “mejorado” or “improvement”process. On receiving tobaccos at his factory in Puriscal master blender Don Olman Guzman selects some of the tobaccos to go through a second 2-4 month fermentation.

Casdagli Cigars’ cooperation with the Tabacos de Costa Rica SA, then known as Vegas Santiago, started in 2012. Also, in search for a producer outside of Cuba, a “flying pig” mold was created for Jeremy Casdagli at this factory. Famed for its access to some of Jeremy Casdagli’s favorite Peruvian tobacco and having the ability to produce the “flying pig” vitola, it was a natural choice of a factory to produce the Casdagli Cigars’ new line.

The design of the Villa Casdagli cigar ring and cigar box seek inspiration from Villa Casdagli, the home of Casdagli family patriarch Emmanuel Casdagli in the early 1900s in Cairo, Egypt. The Villa Casdagli cigar ring and boxes are adorned by the facade of the villa, its grand stained glass window and the peacocks that used to stroll around the gardens. The cotton buds reflect the Eygptian business that the Casdagli empire was once built upon.
