Wonderful cigar community and sponsors
A big thank you goes out to all participants and to our wonderful cigar community, which made this year’s event so special. And of course, we extend a heartfelt thank you to our beautiful sponsors — with special recognition to our premium partners: Cuervo & Sobrinos , Moutai, JC Newman Cigar Co., and CigarHouse. Without their support, this event would not be possible.
International guest list
“This year’s guest list was more international than ever,” said Cigar Gentleman Lasse Öhman, Vice President of Tallinn Cigar Club. “We had friends joining from Estonia, Finland, Denmark, Latvia, Italy, Switzerland, Hungary and Spain. The atmosphere was warm, the company was fantastic, and the cigars were truly exceptional. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back next year!”
As tradition dictates, the weekend concluded with a Farewell Smoke on Sunday — one last chance to savor both cigars and friendship before the smoke cleared over Tallinn’s summer skies.
