Note: We now have a cigar 201: Cigar Tasting class - where you get to taste cigars from a variety of different countries/regions. The Cigar 101 class is not a pre-requisite but it helps to have the basics under your belt. Here's a link to the cigar 201 class: http://skl.sh/rfwW7K

About Maraya Cigars: MARAYA promotes the enjoyment of cigar smoking as an artisanal pleasure. We want to enjoy cigars when and where we please, at appropriate times and in appropriate places without being forced into smoking rooms. One of MARAYA's founding principles is consideration of others. In turn, cigar enthusiasts are to be looked upon as those who simply enjoy relaxing from time to time with a fine, quality cigar. We celebrate the craft of cigar-making as an artisinal form of appreciation -- today and for continued generations -- and encourage the freedom to continue making great cigars and connecting with the natural instinct of pursuing their enjoyment.
