About UCIA

Who We Are

The United Cigar Influencer Association (UCIA) is a private, for-profit professional association of cigar content creators, reviewers, and influencers from around the world. UCIA operates as a subsidiary of Cigar Holdings Ltd., a company incorporated in the United Kingdom.

What We Do

We exist to:

• Protect the rights and interests of cigar influencers as independent content creators and business owners.
• Promote members' businesses through collaboration, cross-promotion, and collective growth.
• Negotiate advertising, sponsorship, and promotional deals on behalf of members.
• Preserve and promote cigar culture globally.
• Advocate for the rights of individuals to enjoy cigars.
• Build a supportive network of members who help one another grow.

Membership

Membership is by application only and at the sole discretion of the Association. We accept verified cigar influencers — content creators, reviewers, podcasters, and writers with a meaningful audience and a genuine commitment to the craft.

Every member agrees to be bound by our Constitution, including a strict zero-tolerance policy on harassment, discrimination, doxxing, and bringing the Association into disrepute.

Ambassadors & Chapters

UCIA Ambassadors are members designated to represent the Association in their country. As we grow, we will be establishing local UCIA Chapters led by these ambassadors — building real-world community on top of the global network.
