Didier Cigars is a newcomer to the U.S. market and the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. Founded by Didier Lazare Benitah, born in France and now residing in Miami, the brand draws inspiration from the fashion industry, where Didier worked for several decades. He brings the concept of Haute Couture to the cigar industry. Haute Couture refers to exclusive, custom-fitted clothing found in high-end fashion. Similarly, Didier applies this concept to the packaging and manufacturing of cigars.
At the factory level, Didier employs kosher practices—not for religious reasons, but for hygiene. The result is a portfolio of ultra-premium cigars.
Didier has also created his portfolio with a couple of other things in mind. The cigars focus on big ring gauges, mainly in the 58 and 60 range. In addition, Didier designed each of the cigars in his portfolio for a particular moment of the day. The following are the seven cigars in the Didier Cigars’ portfolio. As mentioned, this is an ultra-premium portfolio with cigars ranging from $26.75 to $46.25 per cigar.
