From The Publisher

Dear Readers,
It is with great excitement, pride, and gratitude that we welcome you to the very first issue of The Cigar Society Magazine. What began as a shared passion between three friends—drawn together by smoke, conversation, and the timeless ritual of the cigar—has grown into something larger than we could have imagined. Today, we are honored to share it with you. 

​

For us, cigars have never been just about tobacco. They are about moments: the quiet reflection after a long day, the laughter at a lounge among friends, the celebration of milestones, or the simple joy of pairing a perfectly rolled cigar with a glass of whiskey. Cigars connect us to heritage, craftsmanship, and tradition, while also opening the door to new experiences and diverse voices.

​

That belief is at the heart of The Cigar Society Magazine. We wanted to create a space that captures the lifestyle surrounding cigars, a culture rich in artistry, history, and community. Within these pages, you’ll find more than reviews and pairings (though you can certainly expect plenty of those). You will discover stories of the people who shape the industry, from legendary family dynasties to bold entrepreneurs reshaping the future. You’ll learn about the way cigars intersect with fashion, travel, and culture. And you will also meet fellow enthusiasts who, like us, believe in keeping the tradition alive while welcoming new perspectives.

​

We’re especially proud to spotlight women in the cigar world, voices too often overlooked in an industry historically defined as male. From brand owners to master blenders to the growing number of women who smoke and lead cigar communities, these stories remind us that cigars belong to everyone who respects the craft. Of course, no cigar magazine would be complete without the finer touches. In every issue, you’ll find our Cigar of the Month, Cigar & Whiskey Pairings, and palate training tips for those who want to refine their appreciation like true aficionados. You’ll also see lifestyle features that celebrate the beauty and elegance of cigar culture—from lounge etiquette to the fashion that complements the smoke.

 

As publishers, our goal is not just to inform but to inspire. We want The Cigar Society Inc Magazine to be your companion, whether you’re a seasoned collector with a humidor full of rare sticks or someone lighting up their very first cigar. This is a magazine for those who love the leaf, respect the tradition, and believe, as we do, that the best conversations are the ones held through a haze of blue smoke.

​

We are humbled to launch this journey with you. Thank you for taking the time to read, share, and be part of this society. This magazine is not just ours—it belongs to the community of cigar lovers everywhere. Together, we will continue to celebrate, elevate, and evolve the culture we hold so dearly.

So, pour yourself a drink, cut and light something special, and enjoy this first issue. 

​

Here’s to smoke, style, and society.

Stay Smokey, People!
