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.

Year 1 is free. Your first year of membership carries no fee — giving you time to experience the full value of the community. From your second year onwards, membership is GBP 300 per year, billed annually.

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.
