CONNOISSEURCIGAR CLUBMembership
First an introduction,
then a decision
The path into CONNOISSEUR begins with an interest in the club, continues through a personal conversation and gives both sides time to understand whether they are the right fit.
Getting to know the club
Membership begins
with an introduction
The club brings together people who value cigar culture, new knowledge and the company of those who share their curiosity. The introduction allows a prospective member to experience club life from within, while the community gets to know them personally.
Personal conversation
A conversation with a club representative and an opportunity to ask your questions.
Candidate period
Up to three months of participation in available meetings and community life.
Mutual decision
At the end of the introduction, both sides decide on continued participation.
Mutual choice
Membership follows a personal introduction
The conversation and candidate period give everyone time to experience the club’s atmosphere and understand each other’s expectations. After a mutual decision, the member chooses the appropriate format and the financial terms come into effect.
Ways to participate
One club — two formats
Both formats provide access to the internal community. Full membership is designed for regular in-person participation, while regional membership combines the club’s online life with opportunities to attend events in person.

The first step
You can begin with a conversation
There is no need to complete an application straight away. Message the administrator if you would like to ask a question and discuss participation at your own pace. If you are ready to tell us about yourself, continue to the introduction request.
