Don Emmanuel Cigars Adding 6 x 54 Enki Vitola to Annunaki Line at InterTabac 2026

Don Emmanuel Cigars is rolling out a fourth vitola in its Annunaki line, a 6 x 54 figurado called Enki, and the cigar will get its first public showing at InterTabac 2026 in Dortmund, Germany, September 15 through 17.

The Annunaki line has been the boutique brand's flagship release since it launched, built around Sumerian mythology and stories of beings said to have arrived on Earth long before recorded history. Don Emmanuel, who founded the brand and a Master Cigar Sommelier, comes from a tobacco growing family in Brazil, and that background has shaped much of the line's identity.

The name fits right into the mythology already established by the collection. In Sumerian tradition, Enki is the son of Anu and Ki, two figures already represented by existing vitolas in the line, and he's typically associated with wisdom and craftsmanship. Don Emmanuel said in a release that the goal with this size was to bring a new dimension to the Annunaki experience without straying from the ideas the line was built on.

Nothing about the blend itself has changed. Enki uses the same Dominican wrapper, Mexican San Andres negro binder, and filler tobacco pulled from five regions of the Dominican Republic found throughout the rest of the Annunaki portfolio. The difference here comes down to shape.

The 6 x 54 vitola has what the company is calling a cabeza tumbada finish, essentially a belicoso taper but with a flatter head than you'd normally see. The foot is also closed off, wrapped in the same leaf as the rest of the cigar. Don Emmanuel says this isn't just for looks. Closing the foot lets the wrapper leaf come through more in the first few puffs and gives smokers a different aroma up front before the filler tobaccos take over.

Production stays at Tabacalera Diaz Cabrera in the Dominican Republic, the factory belonging to Master Blender Eladio Diaz, who spent years building his name working on some of Davidoff's best known blends. Diaz has been part of the Annunaki project from the start, and he's the one making Enki as well.

With this release, the Annunaki line now has four sizes on the market: the 5 x 50 Ki, the 6 x 52 Anu, the 4 x 38 Corona Fina, and now the Enki. Pricing lands at $18 per cigar, sold in boxes of ten, with international pricing expected to be close to that number. Shipping is set to start once InterTabac wraps.

This year's show is also a first for the brand itself, as Don Emmanuel Cigars is listed among the new exhibitors at InterTabac 2026. The show remains one of the biggest stops on the calendar for cigar companies looking to introduce new products to an international audience.

News of the Enki release was first reported by Halfwheel and Cigar Dojo ahead of the show.
