Savannah Spirit – A Heritage of Centuries

Step into centuries of tradition with Savannah Spirit, where African roots and time-honored craftsmanship meet. The Retief family’s journey from French vineyards to African lands brings their legacy to life in every premium cigar.

Flavors of the African Plains

Immerse yourself in the rich flavors of Africa. The Francois Cigar Collection blends over 300 years of expertise with the distinct character of African soil, crafting cigars that offer a truly unique and memorable experience.

In the eastern valley of Zimbabwe lies the tropical paradise of the Burma Valley, where the warm, moist air from Mozambique creates ideal conditions for growing premium tobacco. During curing and fermentation, the cool mists that drift through the Miombo and Msasa woodlands from Leopard Rock high above, infuse the leaf with a distinct and unforgettable flavour. Each Ridgeback Cigar embodies the true spirit of Africa, delivering a robust, earthy experience that captures the essence of the land.

The Ridgeback Cigar features a Ecuador Sumatra wrapper, Java binder, and a Cubra 685 Burma Valley filler, offering a perfectly balanced strength profile of 4, delivering a robust and earthy smoking experience.
