Cavalier Geneve Black II

The Cavalier Genève Black II Toro is the brand’s take on a classic old-school maduro — a medium-strength cigar built to deliver richness, depth and complexity rather than sheer power. Hand-rolled at Cavalier’s own Honduran factory and finished with the brand’s signature 24-karat gold diamond, the Black II offers a dark, layered profile and a beautifully aged-tobacco character. Expect red pepper, wood, dark chocolate and coffee, balanced by hints of sweetness and leather — a maduro for smokers who want flavour and nuance over intensity.

About Cavalier Genève

Cavalier Genève is a boutique brand founded by Swiss entrepreneur Sébastien Decoppet in Danlí, Honduras. Decoppet’s journey began in his early twenties, learning cigar-making from industry veterans in Honduras before returning to Switzerland to launch his own brand. Cavalier Genève quickly built a reputation for inventive blends, uncompromising quality and its unmistakable signature — a 24-karat gold diamond applied to every cigar. Today the brand operates its own factory, Fábrica Centroamericana de Tabaco S.A., and distributes to more than 40 countries, marrying Swiss precision with Honduran tobacco tradition.

Fun Facts About the Cavalier Genève Black II Toro

Every Cavalier cigar, the Black II included, carries a real 24-karat gold leaf diamond on the wrapper — the brand’s signature flourish and a genuine piece of gold, not a printed motif.

The Black line is Cavalier’s maduro expression — an “old-school” dark profile designed to deliver richness and complexity at medium strength, rather than the heavy power some maduros chase.

Founder Sébastien Decoppet learned his craft in Honduras before founding a Swiss-branded house — Cavalier Genève is one of the few cigar brands to fuse Swiss identity with genuine Honduran crop-to-shop production in its own factory.

FAQ About the Cavalier Genève Black II Toro

Is the Black II a strong cigar?

What is a maduro?
A maduro is a cigar with a darker wrapper that has undergone longer or more intense fermentation, giving sweeter, richer, chocolatey-and-coffee flavours. The Black II is Cavalier’s take on that classic style.
