Looking for a "Degree" in Cigars
I recently took a part time job as a Tobacconist at my local Lounge. I was thinking I'd look into an online degree/ certification of some kind.
Looking for suggestions or your own experinces. |

Re: Looking for a "Degree" in Cigars
There's a cigar shop about a half an hour from my house in Princeton NJ that offered Tobacconist type classes.
I don't know if they offer it as an online class. https://tobacconistuniversity.org/index.php I think Cigars International also offered classes at one time called "Blend Lab" or something like that.

One of the biggest ripoffs going. They charge you an arm and a leg to "teach" you stuff you already know. These forums are much more useful if you want to learn more.

Re: Looking for a "Degree" in Cigars
If you are interested in horticulture and real scientific stuff related to tobacco, I am sure there are advanced courses/degrees offered in Cuban Universities. They'll be in Spanish tough.
I could've sworn Davidoff offered something in Europe around the retail aspect of tobacco.

Some online info for extension offices etc does get into flavors, curing techniques etc that has applicablity to the retail side and knowledge etc. Just like with wine or anything agricultural really, I have always found you really can't be a retail expert unless you know the production side and how it works and why.
