Cavalier Genève Cigars has announced a follow up to last year’s Inner Circle with the new Inner Circle Domaine Rouge by Cavalier Genève. This will be a regular production addition to the Inner Circle cigar line starting PCA this week.
Domaine Rouge by Cavalier Genève is a new addition to the Inner Circle line which first officially showcased during last year’s PCA. Domaine Rouge refers to Cavalier’s factory in Honduras, the Fabrica Centroamericana de Tabaco SA (FCT), which happens to be of red-ish color. As Inner Circle did, Domaine Rouge pays homage to the people that influenced the history of the company; in this case, a tribute to founder Sebastien Decoppet‘s father, Pascal Decoppet, who passed away in 2021.
Pascal Decoppet was born in 1956, the date seen on the Domaine Rouge cigar boxes, designed with the aesthetics of classic wines and wineries in mind. In addition to cigars, classic wines also brought Sebastien and his father together. Several other subtle visual references to Pascal can be found on the Inner Circle and Domaine Rouge boxes.
Like the Inner Circle, which was created as an ongoing tribute to the people that support Cavalier Genève Cigars – some from day one, some as of yesterday, today and for some tomorrow, making every step of the way possible, creating jobs for so many, giving the brand a life of its own, the factory and all its people – the new Domaine Rouge is a legacy and remembrance of my father who I’m sure would have been as grateful as we all are to see Cavalier come so far.
