German Engineered Cigars Introduces RVGN Extrem — A New Blend Marking a Decade of Engineering Cigars
The Hamburg-based cigar company celebrates ten years with a bolder expression of its flagship RVGN Rauchvergnügen line.
Hamburg, Germany — February 2026 — German Engineered Cigars announces RVGN Extrem, a new premium longfiller blend and the latest addition to the company’s RVGN Rauchvergnügen line. The release coincides with the brand’s 10-year anniversary, marking a decade since co-founders Jan Klaas Mahler and Oliver Nickels first brought their engineering-driven approach to the cigar industry in March 2016.
RVGN Extrem is a medium-bodied, hand-rolled longfiller cigar manufactured to German Engineered Cigars specifications by Intercigar in the Dominican Republic. It shares the Nürburgring-inspired universe of the original RVGN Rauchvergnügen — but where the original evokes a sunny morning on the legendary circuit, RVGN Extrem takes the experience to its limits.
Aromatic Experience: “Leading the race on Nürburgring, managing a wet track. Achtung Nordschleife!”
The cigar features an aged and highly sophisticated Mexican Indisclosed Seed wrapper, a Dominican Olor binder from the Jacagua zone (variety Carbonel), and a filler of Piloto and Criollo 98 grown in the Dominican Republic (Mao) and Nicaragua (Condega). The wrapper radiates freshness with aromas of honey and mint. The cold draw reveals lavender, honey, wet grass, and cool rain. Its smoke combines oak, alpine herbs, wet leather, pine forest, espresso, hot titanium, dark cocoa, cherries, and white pepper.
RVGN Extrem will ship with our new NFC-enabled cigar ring — a tap of any smartphone identifies the cigar and links directly to its blend specifications, aromatic profile, serial number and production date.
RVGN Extrem will be available as a 54 cm³ Toro (6.25″ x 52) at an MSRP in the U.S. of US$18. Global availability and ordering details will be announced in the coming weeks.
