The £75 limited-edition publication explores the art, traditions and lifestyle surrounding cigars, building on the author’s acclaimed earlier work.

The European edition of CIGARS: A Culture is available exclusively through C.Gars Ltd and Dominique London.

Written by Aaron Sigmond, an author of more than 20 books and a respected voice in cigar and luxury-lifestyle journalism, the volume examines the cultural influences surrounding cigars, including art, media, events, accessories and epicurean pursuits.

From biography to culture

As announced earlier this year, the book originated as a planned fourth section of Sigmond’s CIGARS: A Biography, his multi-award-winning exploration of cigar history across the Caribbean Basin, the Americas and Europe. However, as the original publication grew to 424 pages, the largely written section was left out.

Sigmond later revisited the material with Liliana Guia, creative director at Mad/Dash Press, developing it into a standalone volume.

Where A Biography focused on the cigar’s history, origins and production, A Culture explores the traditions, creative influences and refined pursuits that surround it. Together, the books realise Sigmond’s original concept for examining both the history of cigars and their broader cultural significance.

Exclusive European/UK edition

The European edition is exclusive to C.Gars Ltd and Dominique London, with cover designs varying between international markets.

Priced at £75, the book is available to order from C.Gars Ltd.
