Don EmmanuelCigars to Preview Sun & Moon Limited Edition Ahead of PCA2026 with Rare Miami Appearance by Eladio Díaz
Some cigar releases are just about the blend. Others are about the experience.
The upcoming Sun & Moon Limited Edition from Don Emmanuel Cigars looks like it’s aiming to be both.
Ahead of PCA 2026, Don Emmanuel Cigars is giving enthusiasts an early look at this dual-blend project during a special event in Miami, and it comes with something you don’t see every day, a rare appearance by legendary master blender Eladio Díaz.
A Rare Miami Appearance by Eladio Díaz
On Wednesday, March 25 at 7:00 PM, Empire Social Lounge in Miami will host a special preview event for Sun & Moon.
The night will feature Eladio Díaz alongside Don Emmanuel, making this one of Díaz’s few public appearances outside of the Dominican Republic, and notably, his first appearance at a cigar event in Miami.
That alone makes this event something special.
Guests will have the opportunity to meet both creators, hear the story behind the project, and get an inside look at what went into developing this unique release.
A Dual-Blend Concept Built Around Balance
Produced at Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera in the Dominican Republic, Sun & Moon is built around a simple but powerful idea, balance.
Instead of a single blend, this release features two distinct cigars designed to complement one another:
- Sun, intended for daytime smoking, focuses on brightness, energy, and vitality
- Moon, crafted for the evening, leans into a deeper, more contemplative profile
Both cigars come packaged together, allowing smokers to experience both sides of the concept in one box.
Blend Breakdown
Each cigar is rolled in a 6½ x 50 format and features tobaccos aged in rum barrels, a unique process that adds layers of aroma, complexity, and depth.
Sun
- Wrapper: Ecuador Connecticut
- Binder: Dominican Republic
- Filler: Dominican Republic
Moon
- Wrapper: Ecuador Habano
- Binder: Mexico
- Filler: Dominican Republic
That rum barrel aging is something I’m personally interested in. We’ve seen barrel-aged tobacco before, but when it’s done right, it can add a subtle sweetness and complexity that really sets a cigar apart.
Limited Production and Pricing
This is a true limited release, with only 777 numbered boxes being produced.
Each box includes:
- 14 cigars total
- 7 Sun cigars
- 7 Moon cigars
Suggested retail pricing comes in at:
- $350 per box
- $25 per cigar
This positions it firmly in the premium category, but the dual-blend concept and presentation help justify the price point.
The Philosophy Behind the Project
For Don Emmanuel, this release is about more than tobacco.
It’s rooted in symbolism and the rhythms of nature.
“Sun gives strength. Moon gives time. A cigar is where both worlds meet.”
That mindset carries through the entire project, from the dual blends to the presentation, making this feel more like a curated experience than just another box of cigars.
Event Details and What You Get
The Miami preview event isn’t just a meet-and-greet, it’s a full experience.
Admission is $150 per guest, and includes:
- A box of Don Emmanuel Anunnaki cigars
- A branded lighter and cutter
- A welcome cocktail featuring Carúpano Rum
Attendees will also get access to exclusive pre-orders for Sun & Moon, with boxes expected to ship approximately one month later from the Dominican Republic.
Final Thoughts
This is one of those releases that stands out, not just because of the blend, but because of everything surrounding it.
You’ve got:
- A rare appearance from Eladio Díaz
- A unique dual-cigar concept
- Rum barrel-aged tobacco
- A limited production run
Whether you’re attending the Miami event or waiting for PCA coverage, Sun & Moon is definitely one to keep on your radar.
