The story of a visionary begins anew with every morning. Every day begins for Helmut Bührle, CEO of Laura Chavin Cigars, with the fascination of the "brown gold". Every day he relives his passion. The still-cool tobacco scent of a cigar, then the fragrance of the smoke, the enjoyment of a deep puff - all of these attributes awaken the images and the feeling of beauty.

The International Butler Academy & Laura Chavin Cigars This extraordinary field trip takes students to the beautiful castle Hochdorf in Germany where the Laura Chavin company headquarters is located. Students tour the property but more importantly receive a true full day Master Class Cigars. Students spend the night there and return to The Academy the following day.

Helmut Bührle is an admitted epicure, who not only recognizes the luxury of a good cigar, but also the gift of nature, the handcrafted art and the creative spirit. And he has taken advantage of his passion and achieved its fruition. "Laura Chavin" is the name of the hand rolled premium cigar, which he allowed to be created according to his guidelines. Today Laura Chavin is mentioned in the same breath with the great brands from Cuba and the Dominican Republic.

Helmut Bührle also followed an unorthodox path when naming his cigar label and the professional world responded with much head-shaking. A woman’s name for a cigar?! Why not! Chavin (pronounced Schaveen) is the name of Helmut Bührle’s daughter and also the second name of his mother. The origin of this unusual name, which all the women on the matriarchal side carry, is shrouded in mystery.
