Norwood Royal Cigars owner Vick Shah regularly hosts meet-and-greet events with cigar industry professionals while providing cigar lovers and supporters great deals on featured brands. Lampert Cigars was featured on July 14, 2023, and I had the pleasure of meeting its Austrian brand owner, Dr. Stefan Lampert, who led me straight to his Oro Line Don Patron cigar. This, of course, was after learning of my preferred dark leathery char notes on a cigar. I immediately fell in love with the cigar, my first time experiencing Peruvian tobacco. Lampert Cigars started in 2016. After a vacation, Stefan decided to apply Thailand’s concept of the tailored suit to a cigar. “With his brand, he wanted to give customers the opportunity to create their very own handmade premium cigars as if in a laboratory, which is why he named his first cigar line My Cigar Lab – now the Oro Line.” The Oro Line is produced at Tabacos de Costa Rica in Costa Rica. It uses a two-year-old Connecticut shade wrapper, over three-year-old binder, and fillers, including five-year-old Pelo de Oro tobaccos from Peru. Lampert cigars are also produced in Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, and Panama, adding to the company’s diversity in its cigar lines. The brand also has its own rum, produced in Panama, aged twelve years, in hopes of enhancing its cigar line experience.
