At the top of the EGM portfolio sits EGM Empyrean, a collection created not as an extension of the everyday line, but as the fullest expression of what the brand believes a luxury Dominican cigar can become.
Even the name sets the expectation. Empyrean traces its roots to the Greek empyros, meaning “in the fire.” In ancient thought, the Empyrean represented the highest heaven—a realm beyond the fixed stars associated with purity, light and perfection. EGM translated that idea into three distinctive cigars produced in extremely limited quantities.
The foundation remains unmistakably Dominican. Aged tobacco from the Cibao Valley forms the heart of the collection, with each cigar handmade totalmente a mano in the Dominican Republic by EGM's most experienced rollers. But Empyrean elevates that foundation through tobacco selection, construction, distinctive formats and exceptionally luxurious presentation.
The EGM Empyrean Heraldos opens the collection in a substantial Montesco format, balancing generous proportions with the structure and refinement expected from EGM's flagship line.
The EGM Empyrean Praxedes takes a dramatically different approach. As the collection's Pirámide, its tapered head and commanding 57 ring gauge create a cigar that looks and feels worthy of a special occasion before it's even lit.
Completing the trio is the EGM Empyrean Paraisos, an elegant Torre Iznaga measuring approximately 6.75 inches with a 52 ring gauge. Its elongated proportions provide another interpretation of the aged tobacco at the center of Empyrean.
Together, Heraldos, Praxedes and Paraisos aren't simply three sizes of the same idea. Their dramatically different dimensions allow smokers to explore EGM's finest tobacco through three distinct experiences.
For someone discovering EGM, the Classic collection reveals the brand's foundation. Empyrean reveals its ambition.
Limited production, aged Cibao Valley leaf, experienced hands, and extraordinary presentation come together in a collection designed without the constraints of an everyday cigar.
EGM calls Empyrean the finest expression of its craft. Once you understand what goes into these cigars, the name feels entirely appropriate.
