About

The culture of cigars has always fostered a unique sense of connectivity around the world.

Cigars are the ultimate equalizer, where race, gender, or sexual orientation simply do not matter. A question as simple as “What are you smoking?” can turn two complete strangers into lifelong friends. This shared passion creates bonds that transcend boundaries, forming a global community united by the love of cigars.

Founded in 2017 by Henry Stokes, Octavia Toliver, and Tony Hall, Atlanta Cigar Week (ACW) was created to celebrate this universal connection. ACW brings together people from all walks of life for a full week of networking, educational events, and unforgettable experiences, all while showcasing the vibrant and diverse cigar culture of Atlanta.

Throughout the week, attendees can participate in a variety of events, from cigar tastings and pairings to seminars led by industry experts. These events are designed to educate and inspire, providing a deeper appreciation for the art of cigar smoking. The week also offers numerous opportunities for socializing and making new connections, with gatherings at some of Atlanta’s finest venues.

We believe that cigars are more than just a pastime; they are a bridge that connects people from all corners of the globe. ACW embodies this spirit of unity and camaraderie, creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome.

We would like to personally thank you for participating in this experience with us. Your presence enriches the event and contributes to the community we strive to build. From us to you, Happy Cigar Week!
