Watch Teresa walk you through the Paul Garmirian “PG” Gourmet Series III
What makes the Paul Garmirian “PG” Gourmet Series III- Connoisseur special?
The Paul Garmirian “PG” Gourmet Series III- Connoisseur was created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of P.G. cigars back in 2020. For this blend, P.G. and his son, Kevork, set out to develop a fuller-bodied blend, working with the masters at Davidoff, Henke Kelner and Eladio Diaz.
Using a dark, rich, and oily Habano wrapper from Ecuador, and Dominican filler tobaccos they had not previously had access to, the Garmirians succeeded in creating the taste they sought, with the same impeccable quality standards they have always maintained.
What does our staff think of the Paul Garmirian “PG” Gourmet Series III- Connoisseur?

“This is one of those ‘if you know, you know’ kind of cigars. These cigars were rolled in 2020, with tobaccos aged for years before that. The experience while enjoying one makes you truly appreciate the difference proper aging makes with a great blend, and I’m grateful to Paul for his commitment and dedication to the process.”

Who is the Paul Garmirian “PG” Gourmet Series III- Connoisseur best suited for?
Don’t let the term “full bodied” scare you off of any particular blend. Body does not equal strength. When we refer to body, we’re talking about the richness, mouthfeel, and perhaps the amount of spice in a blend. These blends are often best enjoyed after a great meal, when you can truly appreciate the complex character of the cigar.
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.
Why does Georgetown Tobacco carry Paul Garmirian “PG” Cigars?
Georgetown Tobacco was proud to launch P.G.’s first line of cigars, the Gourmet Series, from our store back in 1990. Having been a friend and customer since 1965, Paul spent many Saturday afternoons here while researching his book that started it all, The Gourmet Guide to Cigars. Made with impeccable quality standards and an emphasis on aged tobaccos, P.G.’s cigars are among the best to ever come out of the Dominican Republic, if not anywhere.
