EPQ54 Cigars - Premium Luxury Cigar Collection

A legacy built on humility, bold individuality, and timeless craft. Light up a journey that honors tradition and invites your own story.


The Humble Beginning

Legendary cigars begin with humility. I wasn’t raised among tobacco fields, nor did I inherit a cigar-making empire. I was a lifelong New Yorker who found solace and connection in the ritual of a cigar. Each smoke was more than a burn—it was a pause, a bond, a memory worth keeping."

This line was not born out of ego but out of values: integrity, performance, and trust. With each blend, I sought to balance tradition with individuality—to create cigars that are bold, refined, and deeply human."

The Question That Sparked a Legacy

 "In 1954, a seed was planted. Decades later, that seed grew into a dream: Why should cigars belong only to the great families of legend?


Why couldn’t a cigar honor tradition while offering every smoker their own unique experience?"


 "That question became my quest. And the answer is EPQ 54 — Epicurean 54, Every Palate’s Quest."
