Why “Cigars in depth”?

I got hooked on cigars back in 2017. Since then, I’ve smoked hundreds of them , and read endlessly about the soil, the history, the hands that roll the leaves, and the culture surrounding it all. I’ve also been lucky enough to visit Havana, tobacco farms, and factories, seeing parts of the craft up close. For years, I shared my smokes on Instagram. But a good cigar deserves more than a quick scroll.

I wanted a quieter space to write about the real experience: the untold stories, the deep dives, and the moments behind the smoke far from commercial ratings .

That’s why I’m here writing Cigars in Depth.

Who is this for?

If you appreciate a good story, history, craftsmanship, and the lost art of slowing down, you’ll feel right at home. You don’t even need to be a cigar smoker to enjoy these articles.

And if you are a seasoned aficionado, expect the occasional deep dive.

Make a coffee or tea, light a cigar if you have one, and settle in.

When to expect it?

Expect one or two well-written in depth essays a month, plus shorter notes in between.

Quality over quantity.

Cheers,

Amr
