newborn legend

In a world driven by self-optimization and longevity, indulgence has become something of a radical act.  For all those who identify with that idea, we’ve created a new space at the Burg. Welcome to our cigar lounge.

FUN FACT
Cigars are often still associated with great men of history – think Winston Churchill or Alfred Hitchcock. But there have always been equally compelling women who appreciated them just as much: Marlene Dietrich, for example, or Whoopi Goldberg. So here’s to stepping outside the clichés and simply enjoying the moment.

OUR AROMATIC FOUR
As any aficionado knows, not all cigars are created equal. Here’s a short introduction to our house selection – for the curious and the connoisseur alike.

THE MILD ONE
Flor de Selva Robusto from Honduras offers subtle notes of wood, nuts and a touch of sweetness. Mild to medium in strength, it’s an ideal place to begin. Best enjoyed with lighter wines – a Chardonnay or a refined Pinot Noir.

THE LUXURIOUS ONE
Ashton Cabinet is a smooth, creamy, truly premium cigar. It is crafted in the Dominican Republic and features the finest Connecticut wrappers in the world. Insider tip: perfect for a relaxed afternoon – perhaps following a Kaiserschmarren, with a coffee or a glass of cognac.

THE BOLD ONE
Earthy, spicy and full-bodied, Partagás Serie D No. 6 is a Cuban Short Robusto with a lot of character in a compact format. When browsing the Burg wine list, make sure you pair it with enough tannin and body. A powerful Malbec works beautifully. Anything too light will simply fade beside it.

THE EFFORTLESS ONE
Quintero Favoritos stands for authentic, uncomplicated Cuban enjoyment. Perfect on any occasion and for easygoing conversations without too much ceremony. Pair it with a robust red like Tempranillo or  Garnacha, or simply a good beer.
