According to the company, both cigars consist of only Costa Rican tobacco—unusual for the premium cigar industry.“The wrapper, binder and filler are entirely from Costa Rica,” Younan says. “All grown and hand rolled in Costa Rica. The tobacco plants are naturally grown at 9,500-feet in an abundant, lush, mountainous valley.”The cigars don’t come cheap—Coco is priced at $25 per cigar; Marilyn at $30. The Coco measures 5 5/16 inches by 52 ring gauge. The Marilyn is slightly shorter, but thicker, at 5 1/8 by 58. Younan says the cigars are made at the El Septimo Cigar Factory in Costa Rica.El Septimo was founded in 2005 and was acquired by the Younan Company in early 2019. The Younan Company is a global private equity firm with a portfolio of luxury products and properties that includes hotels, resorts and vineyards. El Septimo is one of the company’s more recent acquisitions.According to the company, both cigars consist of only Costa Rican tobacco—unusual for the premium cigar industry.“The wrapper, binder and filler are entirely from Costa Rica,” Younan says. “All grown and hand rolled in Costa Rica.
