As a cigar enthusiast if you are in Miami, you would be remiss to miss out on Little Havana. It is the Cuban center of Miami. You’ve got Cuban food, Cuban, coffee, and many cigar shops.
Discover the story of Giselle Herrera, daughter of El Titan de Bronze owner Sandy Cobas, and a rising force in the cigar industry for this edition of Cigar World's Women Crush Wednesday.
We feature many new cigar launches, but rarely do we call out a new accessory. Let’s get real: in the cigar industry, there isn’t usually something new that pops up that is completely different than anything we have seen before (other than those insanely awesome Cohiba humidors!) At PCA this year, we found a company that is breaking the mold with its innovative travel humidors. Check out our interview with the Colonel himself and learn more about their Stogie Mag.
For this edition of Cigar World's Artisan's Corner, we are celebrating International Coffee Day with Rocky from Dead City Coffee.
For our next Cigar World: Must See Neighborhoods feature we are featuring Brickell. This neighborhood feels like the ultra-modern part of Miami with its glittering skyscrapers, art galleries and luxury condos that overlook the Biscayne Bay.
For this edition of Cigar World's Artisan's Corner, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Jason Lois. An artist who is also a member of the cigar community with a history of having worked in the industry in many capacities.
As a part of Cigar World's City Survival Guide Series we will be bringing some features on must see neighborhood's in Miami. Our first neighborhood is an area called Wynwood. It’s known for the multitude of murals, eclectic shops and restaurants.
You only need three things to join the Dead Leaf Breakfast Club: a camera, an eye for photography, and a love of cigars. Founded four years ago during the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Dead Leaf Breakfast Club allows photographers with a passion for cigars (and cigar lovers with a passion for photography) the chance to smoke and capture some of their favorite brands on camera.
The hustle doesn’t stop for our Cigar World community, especially when it comes to these creative entrepreneurs. Find out more about some of our favorite Artisan’s Corner subjects and how cigars inspire their work, and potentially even pick up a gift for a loved one or even an early Christmas present!
For this Artisan’s Corner, we wanted to bring some attention to Luke Wessman, especially since it is National Tattoo Day. Luke is a renowned tattoo artist, as well as an overall entrepreneur and cigar enthusiast. We were lucky enough to get in touch with Luke, even with his insane schedule which includes his full-time tattoo job, golf hobby, brand collaborations, traveling and more.
