Cavalier Genève Cigars is celebrating 10 years in business, marking a decade of growth and evolution. The brand has undergone significant changes over the years, beginning in Switzerland and working with third-party factories, to now owning and operating its own factory, Fabrica Centroamericana de Tabaco S.A. (FCT). Today, Cavalier supports its operations with two warehouses and has established a presence in over 60 countries worldwide.
“I really feel like this is what the American dream is like. Of course, business means a lot of ups and downs. It most definitely takes a heavy toll. Challenges are part of the everyday routine, and of course, fantastic moments are a huge part of it too. We are deeply grateful to all our retailers in the U.S. and our international partners for their trust and for allowing us to continue living this unique adventure,” said Sébastien Decoppet, founder of Cavalier Genève Cigars.

To kick off the celebration, Cavalier Genève Cigars has announced its Project 10th Anniversary release. This release will be offered in a single parejo vitola measuring 6.25 x 52 and presented in 14-count boxes. Each box will feature alternating cigars with a claro wrapper and a darker wrapper.
The company confirmed that the cigars will not be sold separately. Each box will include both versions.
While the cigars share the exact same blend, the key difference lies in the wrapper primings and processing. This creates two distinct smoking experiences, one featuring a brighter claro profile and the other offering a richer, darker expression.
A standout feature of this release is the complexity of the blend. The cigars are built around a combination of eight different filler tobaccos, including four ligeros, two visos, and two secos, all working together in harmony within the filler.
Cavalier Genève has also indicated that additional projects will be announced throughout the year. These initiatives are designed to celebrate the milestone, support retailers and distributors, and remain true to the brand’s identity and values.

“Keep your eyes open. We are not done yet,” added Decoppet. “We are excited to bring new, unique items to market exclusive to 2026, as well as improve our operations and services, including the inauguration of our new warehouse in the U.S. and much more.”
The 10th Anniversary cigars will remain in production through December 2026, making them available throughout the year before being fully discontinued.
Cavalier Genève expects the first batches to begin shipping around May or June 2026.
