Top Cigar Brands You Need to Know: Davidoff, EGM & Platinum Nova

Welcome back to Habanos Saturday Ep869, the cigar show everyone in the industry is watching. This week, Reza takes us inside his latest trip to Germany for Intertabac Dortmund, the world’s leading cigar trade fair.

We cover everything you need to know about the show — from the newest brands to the classic legends:

Platinum Nova, a fresh face making waves in the cigar world

EGM and their take on refined smoking experiences

Davidoff Cigars, always a highlight for aficionados

Why Fuente was noticeably absent this year

Insider tips on what you can expect if you ever attend Intertabac yourself

It’s a fast-paced episode that blends insights, humor, and firsthand perspective. Whether you’re a collector, a casual smoker, or just curious about the cigar lifestyle, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.

Catch us live, ask your questions, or replay it anytime on YouTube and Instagram. And don’t forget — every Saturday we release the podcast version for when you’d rather listen than look.

Not your grandfather’s cigar show — but he’d probably still love it.
