EGM Ninfa Ceramic Jar — A Vanishing Cuban Vitola Returns. Only 500 Made Worldwide.
Posted on September 16 2026
One of cigar history's rarest vitola formats is back, arriving inside a hand-painted ceramic jar built to be as collectible as the fifty cigars sealed inside it.
EGM Cigars, the project of Italian cigar enthusiast Ettore Moraschinelli, built the Ninfa Jar around the long, slender 7 x 34 Ninfa format, a vitola once common in the golden age of Cuban cigar culture that has all but vanished from today's market.
Wrapper: Dominican (Connecticut-Seed)
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican, seco-dominant with ligero, aged a minimum of three years
Strength: Medium
Vitola: Ninfa (7 x 34)
Price: $61.20 single, $306 five-pack, $3,060 ceramic jar of 50
Ships: Late October
The seco-heavy filler keeps the smoke smooth and nuanced, opening with cedar and cream before settling into toasted almond and a whisper of white pepper on the retrohale, a profile built for patience rather than power.
Each navy ceramic jar is handmade in Italy and individually numbered out of just 500 worldwide, hand chosen for consistency before being sealed inside.
