Chateau Diadem Conviction Robusto

HISTORY

Emily & Thierry, founders of Chateau Diadem, both grew up in Geneva, Switzerland, but THEIR blood has shades of many different countries. While in business school in Boston, Thierry discovered Cigar Aficionado's magazine and became even more enamoured by cigars. Once back in Switzerland in 1996, he built his cigar business from the ground up, leading to the launch of one of the first online websites dedicated to hand-rolled, long-filler cigars. Meanwhile, Emily grew professionally in the luxury food & beverage industry, where she honed her passion for ingredients, noble crafts and everything in between. The similarities between wine and high-end cigars made her realise that she couldn't love one and not the other, so she joined Thierry in his cigar business after leaving NYC. Together, they finally embarked on our mission to create the perfect blend. As soon as they were able to travel, they packed all their knowledge of the cigar, food, wine and spirits world and headed to the Dominican Republic. In early 2019, Thierry launched an online site for hand-rolled cigars and created a currency, “CigarCashCoin” on the Ethereum blockchain. It was a visionary move, a very early one; the industry simply wasn’t ready for such a jump in technology. The distance and the confinement during the Covid-19 pandemic, and perhaps the irremediable desire to fulfil their dream, at a time when life and the future of the world were so uncertain, is what fueled their determination.

CHATEAU DIADEM CONVICTION

CONVICTION is an invitation to enjoy a complex and generous cigar with a richly flavoured palate of aromas that evolve throughout. This expressive smoke features notes of cocoa, coffee, earth, and nuts as the volcanic soils of Nicaragua combine with characteristically soft and creamy Dominican leaves. Once rolled and tested for consistency and colour, each cigar is laid to rest for 6 months, allowing the tobacco to marry and evolve, before being boxed for production.
