About El Septimo Luxus Collection

The Luxus Collection sits within a Swiss‑founded, Geneva‑headquartered house now owned by the Younan Company that produces predominantly Costa Rican puros. The house highlights high‑altitude tobacco, unusually long fermentation (reported around 12 months) and extended aging to achieve a notably clean palate. Luxus is one thread in a portfolio that includes Sacred Arts, Zaya, Emperor, Culinary Art, Alexandra and Gilgamesh.

Luxus is El Septimo's more deliberate, age‑forward offering: a set of vitolas tied to different aging regimens and visual identities. Production notes and reviews point to Costa Rican manufacture and dark, oily wrappers; the blend emphasis is on aged leaf and a polished finish. Smoking character sits in the medium to medium‑full lane, often opening on creamy chocolate and baking spice before firming to cedar, leather and coffee. Texture is commonly described as velvety with steady mid‑palate weight and a finish that favors cedar and earth. What sets Luxus apart is the combination of visible aging cues (color‑coded releases) and a darker, cocoa‑and‑spice aromatic direction rather than brighter, floral signatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

El Septimo emphasizes high‑altitude, pesticide‑free tobacco plus fermentation and aging well beyond industry norms (reports cite roughly 12 months of fermentation and multi‑year aging). Those combined practices are credited with reducing harshness and producing a clearer, less lingering smoke characterized by cedar, cream and refined cocoa rather than overt chemical or green notes.
