At Smokers Abbey, we believe every cigar tells a story—and now, it’s your turn to write it. Whether you’re a seasoned cigar smoker or just beginning your journey, cigar journaling is an incredible way to explore, remember, and connect with the cigars you love.

Here’s why you should consider adding cigar journaling to your routine and how it can elevate your enjoyment.

What Is Cigar Journaling?

Cigar journaling is exactly what it sounds like: a personal record of your cigar experiences. It’s a space to document your thoughts on everything from flavor profiles and pairings to the stories behind each cigar. With just a few notes, you can turn a casual hobby into a curated journey filled with insights, discoveries, and memories.
