In Toulouse and across the wider region, Cigare et Compagnie has embodied cigar passion and expertise for more than 30 years. As a cigar sommelier, I care deeply about opening up a world rich in flavours, stories and traditions, through tasting evenings, corporate events and professional training.
Passion in service of discovery
A cigar is never just a cigar. Behind every vitola lies a story: a brand, a family, a terroir, an artisanal know-how passed down through generations. My role as a sommelier is to open that door, to present the brand and its heritage, tell the story behind how each cigar is made and invite guests on a journey through the experience of smoking a cigar.
Guided by an expert
During an evening or an event, I guide every guest – whether a seasoned enthusiast or a complete beginner – through every essential step:
- Opening the cigar and choosing the right cut.
- The dry draw, the first discovery of subtle aromas before lighting.
- Lighting, a delicate moment that sets the tone for a harmonious tasting.
- The guided tasting, where you learn to savour slowly, identify the aromas and understand how the flavour evolves.
Each session is a sensory introduction, a genuine immersion into the world of the cigar, always with the aim of passing on knowledge and sharing.
For individuals and businesses
Whether for a wedding, a birthday, a corporate seminar or a private evening, having a cigar sommelier on hand creates a truly exceptional moment. For businesses, setting up a cigar bar at an event adds an elegant and memorable touch.
I also work with tobacconists and cigar shops looking to develop or showcase their cigar selection through dedicated training sessions.
A passion to share
Beyond these events, Cigare et Compagnie also shares this passion through a tasting YouTube channel followed by thousands of enthusiasts. Each video is a new opportunity to explore a brand, a vitola, an emotion.
👉 Whether you’re an individual curious to discover the art of tasting or a professional wanting to offer a premium experience to your clients, the cigar sommelier in Toulouse is here to help.
