Life moves faster than ever. Real conversations, deep connections and moments of pure appreciation are becoming rare. At Culebra, we revive these values. Our cigars are more than a smoke — they are an invitation to pause, enjoy and savor the moment.
Handmade cigars embody tradition, values and respect that are passed from one generation to the next. At Culebra, we connect the young and the experienced and thereby bridge generations of cigar aficionados.
Life is about spending time with people we care about, building friendships and creating memories. At Culebra, we aim to inspire people to motivate, challenge and ultimately elevate each other through common grounds of enjoying Swiss premium cigars.
Culebra was founded in 2025, the Chinese Year of the Snake, by two Swiss entrepreneurs, Nicolas Schwarz and Oliver Kneubühl. Culebra means “Snake” in Spanish, and embodies a fresh & modern Swiss premium cigar brand in a long-established industry. Our brand blends innovative storytelling with uncompromising quality, timeless elegance and luxury.
Culebra cigars are the product of our shared passion for hand-rolled premium cigars, commitment to excellence and belief that life is best enjoyed with a unique smoke in hand.
Nicolas Schwarz, a former investment banker and snake owner, brings a unique perspective to Culebra. He believes a cigar is the ultimate icebreaker – making any deal smoother, any meeting warmer and any night unforgettable.
Oliver Kneubühl is a corporate lawyer. With his refined taste and being a connoisseur of cars, watches and fine spirits, he complements Culebra’s vision. Oliver strongly believes that cigars are the perfect companion to elevate any moment.
