Meet & Greet Emily Sahakian, the woman behind Chateau Diadem Ci**rs, on June 9 at Barber’s Cigar Terrace, 2-5 pm.
I am truly proud of what Emily has achieved in such a short time. In an industry where only a handful of women step into blending, cigar production, and brand creation, she has helped build Chateau Diadem into one of the most elegant and respected boutique cigar brands in the world today. Together with her cousin Thierry Farah, they created a brand that beautifully combines luxury, craftsmanship, and genuine passion for ci**rs.
What I admire most about Emily is how she brought her own style and vision into the cigar world while still respecting tradition. Coming from a luxury wine and spirits background, she understands refinement, hospitality, and attention to detail — qualities that are reflected in every Chateau Diadem cigar.
Their ci**rs have already received international recognition, including praise from Cigar Journal and placements amongst some of the most talked-about new ci**rs in the market. A remarkable achievement for a young boutique brand and proof of the dedication behind every blend.
For me, Emily represents a new generation of cigar makers — passionate, elegant, hardworking, and inspiring more women to feel welcome within our cigar community.
We look forward to welcoming you all for a very special afternoon of ci**rs, stories, and good company together at the James Barber Cigar Terrace
