Custom Blend Series: Premium cigars from the Puriscal region

The Malekö brand was born in the tropical rainforests of Costa Rica, inspired by the Maleku tribe—the country’s smallest indigenous group—and embodies heritage, resilience, and tradition. According to legend, tobacco was a divine gift meant to heal body and spirit. Its ceremonial cultivation and cigar-making became a symbol of quiet resistance against colonization. Every draw of a Malekö cigar invites you to immerse yourself in a rich cultural legacy and honor the memory of those buried in their “Palenques.”

Following the success of Malekö Classic in the Middle East—particularly in Lebanon—the Malekö Custom Blend was introduced in 2015 to offer premium cigar enthusiasts something new. With a similar flavor profile, a reddish wrapper, innovative vitolas, and modern shapes, it represents a fresh evolution of the line. Exceptionally well-aged New World tobaccos, fine Ecuadorian wrappers grown from special seeds, and a contemporary design led to the creation of the Malekö Custom Blend Edition—a modern interpretation of this heritage-rich brand.
