Visiting the biggest Cigar store in Europe! Cigareworld, Germany
Craft enthusiasts, get ready for an exclusive encounter with Team ROMAIN at Cigarworld in Düsseldorf. On a crisp autumn day on October 26, 2023, our team gathered in the cigar lounge of Cigarworld. Surrounded by the aromas of premium tobaccos from Nicaragua, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Cuba, we immersed ourselves in the refined world of hand-rolled cigars. It wasn’t just an ordinary visit to a cigar shop; it was an experience steeped in history, passion, and expertise.
What is Cigarworld?
The story of Cigarworld began in 1992 when Patricia and Marc Benden, siblings and fourth-generation tobacconists, inherited two tobacco shops in Düsseldorf. This inheritance marked the beginning of their profound dedication to the art of cigar making. They were not just heirs to a tradition; they were pioneers who embraced the potential of the internet. In 1997, they launched Cigarworld.de, an online platform that not only expanded their range but also shared their knowledge and love for cigars with the world.
Over the years, Cigarworld grew into the largest online cigar shop in Europe, offering an unmatched selection of over 1 million cigars from 1,400 leading brands. But their success was not only due to their extensive range. It was their commitment to quality and expertise that set them apart. In 2005, they opened an extensive hub in Düsseldorf, where their physical store and online operations merged. This hub became the epicenter of cigar enthusiasts, a place where passion and craftsmanship met.
Back to our story!
Back to that autumn day in October, the members of Team ROMAIN sat in the comfortable armchairs of the cigar lounge, surrounded by walls lined with the rich history of cigars. They were greeted not only by the aromas of premium tobacco but also by the warmth of Cigarworld’s hospitality. It wasn’t just a visit to a cigar shop; it was a visit with a purpose: to further our team’s expertise in cigars so we can better serve and guide you, our customers, in your quest for your favorite cigar.
Did you know?
In Belgium, there is a strict legal ban on the online sale of cigars, with heavy fines as punishment. Even ordering cigars online from abroad is not allowed, and customs increasingly intercept packages of cigars, which are then seized. While some obscure websites still ship cigars to Belgian addresses, this poses risks. There is doubt about the authenticity and quality of these cigars, as they may be counterfeit or poorly preserved.
Therefore, it is advisable to focus your search for your favorite cigar on reliable specialists like Romain. At Romain, you can not only find high-quality cigars but also rely on expert advice. By seeking personalized advice from Romain, you are also assured of the authenticity and optimal quality of your cigar choice. Let yourself be guided by Romain’s expertise and enjoy the perfect cigar experience with peace of mind.
Conclusion
As Team ROMAIN delved into the nuances of each cigar, it became clear that they were not just witnessing a shop, but a life’s work. A life’s work that captured the essence of craftsmanship, dedication, and love for cigars. The visit to Cigarworld was not just a meeting with cigars; it was a meeting with a timeless tradition and an inexhaustible passion that will hopefully continue for many generations, also at ROMAIN and O MY CIGAR.
