Recognition marks another milestone for the growing premium cigar brand and its collaboration with legendary master blender Eladio Díaz

MIAMI, FL — Don Emmanuel Cigars is proud to announce that Anunnaki, the debut cigar from Brazilian Master Cigar Sommelier Don Emmanuel, has been recognized in Robb Report’s Best of the Best 2026, the publication’s prestigious annual guide celebrating excellence across some of the world’s most respected categories.

Featured in the Premium Cigars category, Anunnaki was highlighted in Robb Report’s 38th Annual Best of the Best issue, a distinction reserved for products that exemplify exceptional craftsmanship, quality, and distinction.

Founded by Don Emmanuel, the brand was created around the belief that premium cigars can unite culture, craftsmanship, mythology, and meaningful experiences. Through a collaboration with legendary master blender Eladio Díaz, that vision took shape in Anunnaki, a cigar that has quickly gained recognition among retailers, consumers, and cigar enthusiasts alike.

Created under the direction of Don Emmanuel and blended in collaboration with Díaz, Anunnaki draws inspiration from ancient Sumerian mythology and combines seven distinct tobaccos to create a smoking experience defined by balance, complexity, and refinement.

“We created Don Emmanuel Cigars with the goal of producing cigars that tell a story while delivering an exceptional experience,” said Don Emmanuel. “To see Anunnaki recognized by Robb Report is a tremendous honor and a testament to the passion, craftsmanship, and vision that brought this project to life.”

The recognition appeared in a feature written by acclaimed cigar author and journalist Richard Carleton Hacker, one of the most respected voices in premium cigar journalism.

The Robb Report recognition follows a period of continued momentum for the brand, including a successful showing at PCA 2026 and the introduction of Sun & Moon, the latest collaboration between Don Emmanuel and Eladio Díaz.

As the company continues to expand its presence among retailers and consumers, the recognition further reinforces Don Emmanuel Cigars’ position as one of the premium cigar industry’s most talked-about emerging brands.
