What makes the Paul Garmirian “PG” Gourmet Series- Connoisseur special?

The Paul Garmirian “PG” Gourmet Series- Connoisseur has consistently been named by our staff as one of our top five cigars of the year.

P.G.’s Gourmet Series blend features a unique medium-bodied blend of aged Dominican tobaccos, with a Colorado Shade, or reddish-brown, wrapper grown in Ecuador. P.G. chose this leaf back in the 1990s, long before anyone else was using it.

The Gourmet Series tobaccos are aged five years before the cigars are rolled, and then, depending on the shape, aged an additional number of years before arriving at our store. The Connoisseurs we currently have in stock were rolled in 2018.

What does our staff think of the Paul Garmirian “PG” Gourmet Series- Connoisseur?

“I have so much love and respect for Paul, and the history between P.G. and Georgetown Tobacco. The Gourmet Series performs perfectly every time I smoke it.”

Who is the Paul Garmirian “PG” Gourmet Series- Connoisseur best suited for?

Medium bodied cigars are approachable to everyone, regardless of experience. They offer more body, flavor and nuance than most mild cigars, and can pair with just about anything. One of the greatest attributes of enjoying cigars is the opportunity to experiment and find the blends that really resonate with you.

Consider these factors before selecting any cigar: What’s the occasion? Who will you be with? What kind of mood are you in? Have you eaten? What will you be drinking with the cigar? Putting some thought into those questions will guide you towards the blends that best complement that moment in time.

What can you tell me about Paul Garmirian “PG” Cigars?

Paul Garmirian wrote the book on cigars, literally. Published in 1990, The Gourmet Guide to Cigars is based on seven years of research, much of which was conducted here at Georgetown Tobacco. Soon after, we launched P.G.’s cigars in our store. Blended with Davidoff’s master blenders, Henke Kelner and Eladio Diaz, P.G.’s cigars are produced at the Davidoff Occidental cigar factory.

With an exceptional commitment to using only aged, quality tobacco and a further commitment to ensuring that his cigars are never on backorder, P.G. is the definition of a boutique cigar that withstands the test of time. You can now read the full story of P.G. in his memoir, The Road to Cigars.
