The World Cigar Show made its global debut in Dubai in 2025 and immediately set the standard for premium cigar events globally and Dubai is where it happened.
Across two exceptional days, the Show brings together thousands of visitors, leading international brands, industry figures, diplomats, journalists, and trade professionals in one of the world's most forward-thinking cities. At the heart of the programme is a vibrant Trade Exhibition, where the world's leading cigar houses, accessory makers and boutique brands showcase their finest products to a dedicated international audience.
With over 1,700 trade visitors and more than 6,000 attendees across the co-located World Tobacco Show, it is where the industry gathers to collaborate, discover, and do business.
Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Media has released its November 2026 special digital edition, dedicated to Dubai and the premium cigar market.
Inside, you’ll find a guide to ten destinations worth exploring, a closer look at the craft behind premium cigars, and an interview with Ra’ed Saqfelhait on discovery and the development of a New World cigar market through The Leaf Master.
As Joshua Habursky, Chief Executive Officer of PCA, writes:
“Dubai is not important to our industry simply because it is an impressive city. It matters because it has become a serious crossroads for international business, luxury hospitality and trade, connecting the Gulf with Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas.”
That international role is what makes World Cigar Show such an important meeting point for the premium cigar industry — bringing together the people, brands and markets shaping its future.
