Sag Harbor “Enigma” Segar – THE HISTORY

The cigar is recreated from the 1870s when a local Sag Harbor resident, Mr Joseph Freudenthal, operated a cigar factory in the Huntting Building at the foot of Main Street across from the Post Office, where he employed 75 people, making 70,000 cigars each week, grossing over $100,000 per year.

Mr Freudenthal created a special blend from Virginia and Cuban tobacco, called the “Enigma Segar” which he named after the Enigma Club of 1869 where “…only unmarried white males of good moral character, in sound and body, and at least 21 years of age were eligible for membership…

“Their motto: Honesty, Brotherly Love and Mutual Enjoyment.”
