A Historic Milestone for Club Mareva Beirut: Presenting the Exclusive Lebanon Edition of Cigars: A Biography

Featuring the Club Mareva Odyssey on the Cover – Only 150 Copies Available

We are proud to share an extraordinary moment in our journey — one that honors not only our lounge, but the entire Lebanese cigar community. In an exceptional collaboration with celebrated author Aaron Sigmond, Club Mareva Beirut has been chosen to represent Lebanon in his newest book, Cigars: A Biography,  a sweeping and luxurious tribute to cigar culture worldwide.

In this special edition created exclusively for Lebanon and the Middle East, our very own Club Mareva Odyssey cigar graces the cover, a gesture that symbolizes the respect, admiration, and authenticity that Sigmond found in our lounge and community.

Lebanon’s Sole Representative

Club Mareva Beirut is the only cigar lounge in Lebanon to be featured in the book, marking a powerful acknowledgment of our role in shaping and elevating cigar culture in the region. To be chosen by a figure as respected as Aaron Sigmond — a man whose knowledge and love for cigars span decades  is both humbling and deeply rewarding.

This edition is not just a mention. It is a spotlight. A declaration that Beirut has a seat at the global table of fine cigar tradition.

A Collector’s Treasure

Limited to only 150 hand numbered copies, this special edition is a true collector’s treasure. It is sure to become one of the most talked-about pieces in the libraries of cigar lovers and collectors around the world. Each copy is available only at Club Mareva Beirut for $200, and once sold, no more will ever be made. With its striking cover featuring the Club Mareva Odyssey cigar and its status as the only Lebanon and Middle East edition, this book is more than just a book. It is a symbol of refined taste, a rare collectible, and a bridge to the timeless beauty of cigar culture. Created for those who appreciate rare finds, meaningful stories, and beautiful design, this edition is a one-of-a-kind chance to own a piece of cigar history.

A Book Decades in the Making

Cigars: A Biography is the result of years of meticulous research, storytelling, and artistic devotion. Aaron Sigmond, whose legacy spans luxury publishing and cigar connoisseurship, has poured decades of insight, experience, and personal exploration into this singular volume. His writing is not merely informative; it is immersive. Readers are guided through the origins of cigars, their evolution over centuries, and their enduring place as objects of ritual, reverence, and reflection. Unlike many cigar books that focus solely on Cuba, this work presents a panoramic view of the cigar world, honoring all major cigar-producing countries including the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, the United States, and more.

A Celebration of Culture and Craft

This collaboration is more than a feature; it is a celebration. A shared vision between global icons of cigar literature and Lebanon’s most dedicated cigar lounge. It is also a tribute to the growing presence and voice of the Middle East in the world of luxury cigars.
