Don Emmanuel Cigars announces that Anunnaki Enki, the newest vitola in the brand's award-recognized Anunnaki line, is now shipping to retailers. The distinctive 6 x 54 figurado was recently showcased to the international cigar community at InterTabac 2026 in Dortmund, Germany.

Enki begins shipping amid growing recognition for the Anunnaki line. Anunnaki Anu was selected for Robb Report's 2026 Best of the Best, Anunnaki was named a finalist for Best Dominican Cigar of 2026 at the Cigar Journal Cigar Trophy Awards, and the Anunnaki Corona Fina received a 91-point rating from Cigar Journal.

Enki becomes the fourth vitola in the Anunnaki line and introduces a figurado format with two unique construction details. The cap is finished in a "cabeza tumbada" style, designed to enhance the smoking experience, while the closed foot lets the smoker first experience the aroma and flavor of the wrapper as the cigar is lit.

"After introducing Enki to the international cigar community at InterTabac, we are very excited to now place it in the hands of retailers and cigar enthusiasts," said Don Emmanuel, Founder & Creator of Don Emmanuel Cigars. "Enki represents another expression of the Anunnaki experience. The blend remains the same, but the figurado format and its unique construction create a different way to experience the complexity and evolution that are central to Anunnaki."

The name continues the Sumerian mythology that inspired the line. Enki is the son of Anu and Ki, the Sumerian god of humanity, sent to Earth with the mission of extracting gold.

Enki uses the same seven-tobacco blend as the rest of the Anunnaki line, co-blended by Don Emmanuel and Master Blender Eladio Díaz and produced at Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera in the Dominican Republic.

Don Emmanuel Cigars is proud to announce that Anunnaki, the debut cigar from Brazilian Master Cigar Sommelier Don Emmanuel, has been recognized in Robb Report's Best of the Best 2026, the publication's annual guide celebrating excellence across some of the world's most respected categories.

Featured in the Premium Cigars category as a Multidimensional pick, Anunnaki was highlighted in Robb Report's 38th annual Best of the Best issue, a distinction reserved for products that exemplify exceptional craftsmanship, quality and distinction.

Founded by Don Emmanuel, the brand was created around the belief that premium cigars can unite culture, craftsmanship, mythology and meaningful experiences. Anunnaki draws inspiration from ancient Sumerian mythology and combines seven distinct tobaccos in a smoking experience defined by balance, complexity and refinement.

"We created Don Emmanuel Cigars with the goal of producing cigars that tell a story while delivering an exceptional experience," said Don Emmanuel. "To see Anunnaki recognized by Robb Report is a tremendous honor and a testament to the passion, craftsmanship and vision that brought this project to life."

The recognition appeared in a feature written by acclaimed cigar author and journalist Richard Carleton Hacker, one of the most respected voices in premium cigar journalism. It follows a period of continued momentum for the brand, including a successful showing at PCA 2026 and the introduction of Sun & Moon.

Following a successful debut at the 2026 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, where the release generated strong interest from retailers and media alike, Don Emmanuel Cigars is now shipping its Sun & Moon Limited Edition to retailers nationwide.

Co-blended by Don Emmanuel in partnership with Master Blender Eladio Díaz, Sun & Moon brings Don Emmanuel's vision and philosophy to a dual-blend concept presented within a single box.

Inspired by the natural relationship between light and time, energy and reflection, Sun & Moon offers two complementary interpretations of the same philosophy. The Sun blend captures brightness, vitality and balance for daytime enjoyment, while the Moon blend reveals a deeper, richer and more contemplative character suited for the evening.

Both cigars are crafted in a 6½ x 50 format and feature tobaccos aged up to 10 years, including select tobaccos aged in rum barrels. Sun: Ecuador Connecticut wrapper, Dominican binder and filler. Moon: Ecuador Habano Oscuro wrapper, Mexican binder, Dominican filler.

Production is limited to 777 numbered boxes, each containing 14 cigars, seven Sun and seven Moon.

"Sun gives strength. Moon gives time. A cigar is where both worlds meet," said Don Emmanuel.

Don Emmanuel Cigars previewed its Sun & Moon Limited Edition during a special public event at Empire Social Lounge in Miami on March 25, offering enthusiasts a first look at the brand's dual-blend project ahead of the 2026 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show.

The evening featured a rare appearance by Master Blender Eladio Díaz alongside founder and Master Cigar Sommelier Don Emmanuel, one of Díaz's few public engagements outside the Dominican Republic and his first at a cigar event in Miami.

Produced at Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera in the Dominican Republic, Sun & Moon explores the concept of dual energies through two distinct blends presented in a single box, both crafted in a 6½ x 50 format with tobaccos aged in rum barrels.

"Sun gives strength. Moon gives time. A cigar is where both worlds meet," said Don Emmanuel.
