Diplomatic Cigar Club

By diplomats for Diplomats: The Diplomatic Cigar Club is a unique community of diplomats, cigar makers and cigar specialists, who share a passion for the finest premium cigars, artisanal heritage products, cigar culture and cigar diplomacy. Our raison d'être is to serve our diplomatic members, bringing together alike minds to meet each other and specially invited guests, at exclusive events in intimate and unusual surroundings, providing innovative, insightful, educational and exciting experiences, in a spirit of camaraderie and open inquiry, new acquaintances and old across an appreciation of culture, art, gastronomy – and not least, new world cigars –, promoting our countries, forging dialogue, understanding, diplomatic and business relations, through the art of cigar diplomacy. We create events and experiences, and provide inspiring top quality content to learn, and share knowledge about the handcrafted premium cigar industry, tradition, ideas and trends, but more importantly, to deepen the knowledge of the value and importance of this artisanal industry, to preserve it and to take into the future this millenary heritage, on which our farming communities in producing countries, and family owned businesses around the world, whose subsistence and wellbeing depends on the robust health of this industry. At the same time, we endeavour to promote its sustainability and support initiatives with a fundamental and generous social impact, through social investment, charities and others, focused on education, human development and the environment. “Cigars are our ‘Lingua Franca.’ They help us relax, reach out, make friends and alliances, reach compromises, build new relationships, foster dialogue and understanding, and enjoy the best life has to offer.” - Nick Hammond
