World Cigar Show Set to Launch in Dubai: A New Hub for the Premium Cigar Industry

Quartz Business Events has partnered with the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) to launch the inaugural World Cigar Show in Dubai, scheduled for November 11-12, 2025. This event will be the first of its kind in the region, gathering premium cigar industry leaders for networking, business, and growth opportunities.

The World Cigar Show aims to bring together a wide array of participants, including manufacturers, distributors, duty-free buyers, and hospitality professionals from Central Asia, Dubai, and surrounding countries. Attendees will have the chance to explore the latest in premium cigars and engage in seminars led by industry experts. This event will be a significant addition to Quartz Business Events’ portfolio, known for its World Tobacco

Events and TabExpo series

Colin Case, Event Director, expressed excitement about the strategic location of Dubai, highlighting its status as a global travel hub. The show aims to provide exhibitors access to a truly international audience, leveraging Dubai’s reputation for luxury and its rapidly expanding network of cigar lounges.

Scott Regina, PCA President, emphasised the complementary strengths of both organisations. He noted that PCA’s experience with U.S. trade shows will help enhance the Dubai event, offering a platform for U.S.-based exhibitors to reach new markets. Joshua Habursky, PCA Executive Director, echoed this sentiment, describing the partnership as a strategic move to diversify and expand PCA’s brand assets.

With the Asian cigar market valued at $2.4 billion in 2024 and projected to grow by 6.8% by 2029, the World Cigar Show offers a timely opportunity for businesses to tap into this expanding market. Dubai, known for its luxury hotels and cigar lounges, provides an ideal setting for this event, catering to premium cigar enthusiasts and professionals looking to expand their reach.
