Culebra Cigar Tasting Event Winterthur at Il Salotto Cigar Lounge

The Culebra Cigar Tasting Event Winterthur brings our Swiss cigar house to one of Winterthur’s most refined lounges: Il Salotto Cigar Lounge. Expect a calm, welcoming evening with guided tasting notes, thoughtful conversation, and a focus on craftsmanship rather than noise.

All Culebra formats will be available — Robusto, Toro, and Corona. We’ll guide you through the tasting and present the flavour profile, showing how format influences pace, draw, and aroma development. The event is intentionally limited to 20 guests.

And: Don’t worry if you are not

If you’re coming to the Culebra Cigar Tasting Event Winterthur and feel a little unsure about the “how” of it — don’t worry. That’s exactly what evenings like this are for. A small tip: the first two minutes (cutting and lighting) can make a surprising difference to how smooth, aromatic, and even your cigar will smoke — which matters when we’re tasting and comparing formats.

Before the event, you can skim our simple guide on cutting. It shows you where to cut (hint: less is usually more) and how to avoid a tight draw or a damaged cap. It’s an easy read, and you can put it into practice straight away at Il Salotto: https://culebracigars.ch/how-to-cut-a-cigar/ (culebracigars.ch)

Lighting is the other game-changer. If the foot gets scorched, the first puffs can taste sharper than they need to. A gentle, unhurried light helps the cigar start clean and lets the flavour profile open up naturally. Our step-by-step lighting guide is here: https://culebracigars.ch/how-to-light-a-cigar/ (culebracigars.ch)

Bring your curiosity to the Culebra Cigar Tasting Event Winterthur — we’ll take care of the rest. And if you’d rather not think about technique at all, that’s perfectly fine too. We’ll happily help you with the cut and the light on site, and answer any questions as we go — especially if it’s your first tasting.

About Culebra Cigars

Culebra is a Swiss cigar brand founded in 2025 — the Chinese Year of the Snake. The name Culebra means “snake” in Spanish. We create handmade cigars produced in the Dominican Republic, in an industry defined by tradition and craft.

Culebra was founded by two Swiss entrepreneurs, Nicolas Schwarz and Oliver Kneubühl, united by a shared passion for hand-rolled cigars and a commitment to quality. Our aim is simple: to craft cigars with rich, balanced aromas that can be enjoyed by both newcomers and experienced aficionados.

Our vision is built around three ideas: Cherish the Moment, Bridge Generations, and Celebrate Culture. In practice, that means slowing down, enjoying real conversation, and appreciating cigars as a cultural tradition — not just a product.
