The origin
of Zun Zun.

From the Cuban hummingbird that gave us our name to the cigars in our boxes.

In Cuba, hummingbirds are called zunzún. The name imitates the hum of their wings: zun, zun.

I

The zunzún

The smallest of them all is called zunzuncito. It measures about five centimeters, weighs around two grams and lives only in Cuba. It is the smallest bird in the world.

It beats its wings up to eighty times per second to hover in front of a flower, and in a single day it can visit fifteen hundred. Its nest, made of spider silk, bark and lichen, is no wider than a coin.

From the bird to the house

Why we chose its name.

Precision

It beats its wings eighty times per second just to stay still. That level of exactness is what we look for in every cigar.

Few, but unique

It is tiny and yet impossible to ignore. We make few boxes, and each one bears a number that is never repeated.

Cuban origin

It lives only in Cuba, the island that defined what a great cigar is. That is where the experience that inspires our collection comes from.

The house

How Zun Zun was born.

Zun Zun was born from a simple question: why settle for a single cigar when the day has more than one moment? That is how Tres Estaciones, our first collection, was born.

Three different cigars gathered in a single box. Rolled by Cuban torcedores, from Cuban-seed tobacco, and made in Nicaragua.

What we make fits in one hand.
What it takes to make it does not.

We are not after volume. We want every box to deserve its number.

The promise

Every box carries its certificate of origin.

Each box bears a number that is never repeated. Under the lid you will find a QR code: scanning it opens your private certificate of origin, with your box number and its unique key.
