ABOUT US
Jovan and Ugljesa Despot are the second generation of the Despot family in the cigar business.
The Despot brothers have grown up with their father who, in 2004, launched the cigar scene in Serbia.
After finishing their studies, one by one they were incorporated into the activities of their father’s business and since then they have implemented some innovations in the work of the company, which is successfully continuing its development. In 2019, in accordance with their father, they launched the idea of making their private label “Despot Cigars”.
Despot cigars are handmade from whole tobacco leaves, in Estelí, the heart of Nicaragua. The tobacco used for our cigars is carefully selected from the best tobacco regions in the world.

Despot J series
Despot cigars are handmade from whole tobacco leaves, in Estelí, the heart of Nicaragua. The tobacco used for our cigars is carefully selected from the best tobacco regions in the world. Line J is the first in the row. This line of cigars consists of four formats, in honor of the classic cigars made throughout history. Although some sizes are not as popular as Corona and Lancero, these are a return to the classics that passionate fans should not forget. Pyramid and Robusto are the standard of the new times. Although modern trends promote the largest cigars, for several decades these two formats have been included among the classic shapes. The Despot J Cigars line celebrates the classics and all that has been part of the tradition of enjoying cigars for decades.
All cigars in the J series are made from the same blend that consists of the most sought-after and the most prized leaves among manufacturers in the New World. We’ve spent years researching blends and the origin of tobacco in some of the New World’s most popular cigars, and this is our choice for the Despot J Cigars line.
Despot U series
Series U, like the first series of cigars, consists of the same blend of tobacco. In this series, the emphasis is not on the intensity of the aroma, but on the aromaticity of the tobacco. This is how 4 new cigars of medium intensity strength and fantastic aromas were created. The blend is made from the best leaves that come from two countries and three regions. This mixture of leaves develops distinct sensations of aroma and taste, depending on the format.
All the wrappers for this series come from two countries: the Wrapper and Binder are from Ecuador from Cuban seeds H98. The H.Ecuador Claro wrapper is one of the most popular in the world and definitely gives cigars a unique note of fine, pleasant initial aromas with a sweet profile.
The lsitos that make up the heart of the cigar (filler) are all from Nicaragua, from the two best regions of Jalapa and Esteli. The Volado list is from the Jalapa region and the two Viso lists are from the Jalapa and Esteli regions. That’s how we stayed true to our philosophy of “Aroma without compromise”!
Fromats Series U were developed in two directions. 2 contemporary small sizes, Half Corona and Half Toro, which are 25-35 minutes long, because the modern pace of life does not leave us plenty of time to enjoy cigars, and time must not be an obstacle to your passion in enjoying cigars. That’s why we created these sizes for two short coffees, a glass of wine or your favorite cocktail or any drink of your choice…
2 traditional big cigars that have withstood all the challenges of the new era, Salomones and Double Corona. True cigar connoisseurs will always find an hour and a half or two hours to enjoy a premium cigar. These formats will always provide a unique experience whether you enjoy it alone or in good company. Just sit comfortably and smoke… Good drinks, good music and good company will turn smoking these cigars into a standard for you Ultimate Cigar Experience!
Despot Z series
Series Z was created on the same principles as the first two series, all four cigars are made of the same blend. The new line includes two formats, very popular in the New World of cigars, the R54 (a slightly shorter robusto with a larger diameter than in the Despot J line) and the T54, which is slightly thicker than the traditional toro format, and the same length of 6 inches. There are also two large formats that are considered as classics, Piramides Grande and A Size. They contributed to the variety of cigar aromas, and in this way we stayed true to the principles of the brand, while introducing a new dose of aromatic complex.
We again played with filler leaves from Nicaragua, so we selected leaves from the regions of Ometepe and Jalapa, the binder comes from Ecuador again, and the wrapper is the delicate Rosado Ecuador Selected.
Everything in Series Z is subordinated to an aroma that is different compared to previous series, and the variety of sizes has contributed to an even more interesting opulence of aromas for which there is no compromise. We remain true to our philosophy, Aroma sin compromiso!
Nowadays, when life is fast and there is not much time to enjoy cigars, choose your favorite among Despot cigars according to the time you set aside for relaxation and cigar enjoyment. For the R54 you need 45 minutes to an hour and for the A size more than an hour and a half to enjoy. The choice is yours, but don’t forget that enjoying cigars is a feeling of luxury with which you honor yourself!
Happy smoke & long ashes…
Despot V series
Series V was created to complement the formats we were missing. We carefully listened to market demands and responded with four formats that we believe will find their place equally among new cigar enthusiasts and experienced ones who like to explore variations on the classic formats we know well.
We made a small shift by introducing Pennsylvania Viso Broadleaf in the filler.
Once again, we played around with filler leaves from Nicaragua, selecting leaves from the Ometepe and Jalapa regions. This blend is enriched with that one Viso leaf from Pennsylvania.
For the first time, the binder and wrapper are made from the same clone of Cuban Habano 2000 tobacco from Ecuador.
Series V is definitely a nod to the new generation, and while rooted in tradition, we took a modern approach to some existing classics. We shortened the Lancero and Pyramid, and for the Corona and Churchill formats, we increased the ring gauge according to the preferences of our cigar aficionados.
We remain true to our philosophy: Aroma sin compromiso! (Flavor without compromise!)
Despot series LAZURIT
Lazurit is the first limited edition from Despot Cigars, honoring the Serie J, the brands inaugural line. With a length of 7½ inches and a ring gauge of 52 (192 mm x 21 mm), it matches the longest and widest dimensions within the Serie J.
This cigar is crafted for extended enjoyment, making it perfect for special occasions or those moments when you want to relax and unwind with a premium quality smoke. Each tobacco leaf used in this cigar is of the highest quality and has been aged for at least seven years.
The name “Lazurit” is inspired by the renowned Lazurite mineral, prized in ancient times as the pigment for the purest and most sought-after blue, known as ultramarine. This hue was particularly celebrated in the Byzantine Empire, where it adorned intricate frescoes, symbolizing purity and sublimity. It was also used to dye the garments of nobility, a tradition that spread across the ancient world, representing wealth and abundance.
Lazurite was further valued as a gemstone, famously embedded in the funerary mask of the child-pharaoh Tutankhamun, where it was inlaid in solid gold.
Join us in celebrating the richness of aromas and the intricate scents of our new Lazurit edition!
Despot series LIBERTADOR
Libertador cigar was made in honor to our friends Cigar Lounge “Libertador” from Belgrade, Serbia.
Despot Libertador cigar offers great value without compromise on flavor. The H Ecuador Claro wrapper and binder offer a smooth and flavorful experience, while the Volado Jalapa and Viso Esteli fillers add depth and complexity to each draw. Indulge in the rich and aromatic blend of this premium Despot Libertador cigar.
