A Legacy of Tradition, A Vision for the Future
From our heritage in Liechtenstein to our cigars crafted in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic, Lampert Cigars proudly blends history, passion, and craftsmanship into every line. Moreover, each cigar tells a story of dedication and artistry passed down through generations.
Our Roots
The first mentions of the name Lampert go back to the year 1418. According to church records, the family Lampert has its origin in Triesen, Liechtenstein. This small alpine principality, located between Austria and Switzerland, is known for its long-standing traditions of precision and excellence.
Over time, historical records reveal that the Lampert family became known as bankers and money changers. As generations unfolded, the family spread across continents: the first line stayed in Liechtenstein, the second moved to Austria, and the third emigrated to the United States.
In addition, the Lampert family holds two historic emblems — Lampert 1593 and Lampert 1675 — each carrying colors and symbols rich in heraldic meaning.
The Crest of 1593: Strength and Virtue
The Lampert family received their first crest in 1593. This hallmark displays the colors red and gold emblazoned across a shield capped by a golden crown and a leaping lioness — a timeless symbol of royalty and power.
Furthermore, the shield presents a castle with two golden roofs, one on each side. Heraldic gold eclipses the brilliance of all other metals and symbolizes prestige, virtue, and majesty. Meanwhile, silver signifies purity and wisdom, while an intense crimson red represents patriotic devotion and chivalric service to the fatherland.
The Crest of 1675: Loyalty and Hope
Later, in 1675, the Lampert family was granted a second emblem. You will notice the predominant colors of blue (azure) and silver (argent), along with a lamb and crown. The blue represents loyalty and constancy, much like the sapphire gemstone. Even today, this color is used to symbolize those same values on many national flags while also signifying hope for the future.
Additionally, silver evokes the moon and the pearl — universal symbols of purity, innocence, and joy. The emblem’s lamb and crown complete the crest, representing both humility and power.
The Founder’s Story
Lampert Cigars was founded in 2017 by Dr. Stefan Lampert, an attorney whose passion for craftsmanship sparked during a trip to Thailand in 2016. Surrounded by bespoke tailors, Stefan asked himself: What if cigars could be approached like custom suits — unique, handcrafted, and made with the individual in mind?
As a result, this vision led to the first Lampert creation: My Cigar Lab, later renamed the ORO Line.
Encouraged by early success, Stefan pushed further. While sampling blends, one stood out — a tobacco with saline, ocean-like notes. Inspired by the sea, he named it Ocean Breeze, a cigar that soon became a signature line.
To ensure the highest quality, Stefan partnered with the Ortez family in Nicaragua. Together, they launched the Lampert 1675 Edición Azul, followed by Rojo and Morado, blending Nicaraguan craftsmanship with Lampert’s vision for a truly global brand.
