He was a man. He became a myth. He lives on as a legend.
But here is his delicious cigar, fit for a royal smoke session.
El Septimo Gilgamesh cigars invoke the ancient King of Sumer, one of the world’s first known civilizations. It was located in the southern part of Mesopotamia, the land between the two rivers of the Tigris and the Euphrates. It is now known as Iraq. Gilgamesh led his people somewhere between 2,800 and 2,500 B.C. Stone tablets record some of his exploits in the form of epic poetry, which is among the oldest written stories we know of on Earth. It’s not an “easy” read if we can say so ourselves, but it is a perfectly fine thing to ponder while you spend a quiet hour enjoying a cigar. You might be surprised by what you find in the story, honestly.
El Septimo built this Gilgamesh collection of blends as a first foray into 50-ring gauge sticks. There are three distinct cigar lines to enjoy here, each with its own properties and flavors: Sable Shamash, Aqua Anu, and King Sargon.
Sable Shamash features a Costa Rican blend with some long-aged leaf in the mix (around 6 years). It’s nutty and has notes of dark berries. Aqua Anu is a Maduro, with even more extensive aging on some of its tobaccos. It’s plush and “velvety smooth.” The third blend, King Sargon, is a spicy number. The smoke is full-bodied and complex.
For people looking to explore high-quality Costa Rican cigar blends, El Septimo Gilgamesh is an interesting place to start. Let the ancient roots of these aged cigars transport you to a more epic time when kings could ascend to godhood as their tales were told over time. What might you see in the billowing rings of smoke?
A struggle with primordial beasts?
The gods themselves?
Your neighbors arguing on the lawn for the fourth time about whether or not the man of the house should trade in his huge truck with the exorbitant monthly payments (that the family can barely make), so that they don’t miss the next mortgage installment and lose the house.
You never know. Come with us, and explore a tale as old as time…
