THE RETURN OF ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST DEMANDED CIGARS — QUEEN SHEBA NOW IN A TORO SIZE WITH RARE, AGED TOBACCO
Los Angeles, CA, April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Following the overwhelming global success of the original Queen Sheba cigar, El Septimo Geneva proudly announces the release of Queen Sheba “Conquest Edition” — Series II, the next evolution of one of the most talked-about and fastest-selling cigars in the ultra-premium category. The cigar will officially debut at the 2026 PCA Trade Show, where it is expected to be one of the most in-demand releases of the year.
In just over a year since its introduction, Queen Sheba has become a global phenomenon, earning recognition from cigar enthusiasts, retailers, and leading publications as one of the most memorable cigars ever experienced. Its reputation was built on exceptional flavor, flawless construction, and a uniquely smooth, aromatic profile that resonated immediately with consumers across the United States and international markets. Retailers saw rapid turnover, repeat demand, and strong customer loyalty—making Queen Sheba not just a successful release, but a proven commercial performer.
Building on this success, El Septimo now introduces Series II – Conquest Edition, a completely new blend in a Toro format (6 x 54), designed to deliver an even more powerful, complex, and refined smoking experience. This is not a continuation—it is a step forward, created to meet the growing demand from retailers and consumers who have been asking for the next chapter of Queen Sheba.
Inspired by the legendary Queen of Sheba—one of the most powerful and captivating figures in history—the cigar embodies intelligence, beauty, strength, and presence. This identity is not told—it is experienced. From the first draw, the cigar reveals a rich, evolving profile of cocoa, roasted coffee, spice, and subtle sweetness, delivering a smooth, balanced, and unforgettable finish that defines the El Septimo standard.
Presented in luxury packaging designed to command attention at retail, the Conquest Edition is engineered not only for performance, but for visibility and demand generation on the shelf. Every element—from blend to presentation—has been developed with one objective: to create immediate consumer interest and fast sell-through.
A PRODUCT BUILT FOR RETAIL SUCCESS
- Proven brand with strong global demand
- New blend designed to drive repeat purchases
- Premium Toro size (6 x 54) — one of the most requested formats

This is a cigar your customers already trust—and are waiting for. “The success of Queen Sheba showed us what the market truly wants—quality, identity, and experience,” said Zaya Younan, CEO of El Septimo. “With the Conquest Edition, we have delivered a cigar that not only meets that expectation, but raises it. This is a product built to perform.”
