Surpassion is a brand owned by Asad Imtiaz, a US Army Veteran who fell in love with tobacco as a means of relaxation amongst overseas turmoil. In 2007, Asad started working as a retail tobacconist at a local brick-and-mortar store, which allowed him to learn about the tobacco industry and grow his passion for cigars. Seventeen years later, Asad “surpassed his passion,” enlisting Hostos Quesada of Tabacalera La Isla, and created Valor, an Ecuadorian Corojo 99 wrapped beauty. Underneath, you will find a complex multi-country blend of Mexican, Dominican, Nicaraguan, and USA-grown tobacco.
