Sterling Cigars was founded by three friends from Sri Lanka, Greece, and South Korea. Each of us comes from a different background, but we share one passion: the artistry of a great cigar. What began as casual conversations turned into a mission to make premium cigars accessible and enjoyable for all. Our experiences in design, construction, and global living bring depth and character to the brand. Sterling is more than a business. It is a reflection of friendship, storytelling, and craftsmanship. We believe cigars bring people together, and that belief is at the heart of everything we do. We invite you to be part of our journey.
Our journey took a meaningful turn during a visit to Nicaragua, a country known for its rich cigar-making traditions. There, we immersed ourselves in the process and learned directly from expert growers and master blenders. We came to appreciate the dedication, patience, and skill required to produce cigars of exceptional quality. This experience deepened our respect for the art behind every cigar. It taught us that a cigar is not just a product, but a story wrapped in time and tradition. That lesson continues to guide us. At Sterling Cigars, we aim to honor the craft and culture in every cigar we offer.
