A Milestone Moment for the Cigar Community
The Cigar Guys Podcast has officially reached a historic milestone: becoming the number one ranked cigar podcast for audio listeners, confirmed by both Spotify and Apple Podcasts. This achievement cements The Cigar Guys as the most listened-to cigar podcast in the world and marks a defining moment not only for the show, but for the modern cigar content space as a whole.
As the cigar industry continues to evolve in the digital age, The Cigar Guys have proven that consistency, authenticity, and relentless content creation can elevate a niche podcast into a dominant global platform.
From Passion Project to Industry Leader
The success of The Cigar Guys Podcast didn’t happen overnight.
The Cigar Guys began producing cigar-related content in April 2022, laying the foundation for what would soon become one of the most influential cigar media brands online. After months of consistent content creation and audience building, the official Cigar Guys Podcast launched on January 14th, 2023.
From day one, the mission was clear:
create honest, entertaining, and educational cigar content for real cigar smokers.
That mission has remained unchanged—and it’s exactly why listeners keep coming back week after week.
Unmatched Consistency in the Cigar Podcast Space
One of the biggest factors behind The Cigar Guys’ rise to the top is consistency.
Since launching in January 2023, The Cigar Guys Podcast has released one full podcast episode every single week without fail. No skipped weeks. No long hiatuses. Just reliable, high-quality cigar conversations delivered on schedule.
As the brand grew, so did the content output.
Today, The Cigar Guys produce:
- 1 weekly audio podcast episode
- 1–2 extra-long form videos every week
- Over 250 short-form cigar videos every week
This level of production is virtually unheard of in the cigar podcast world and has positioned The Cigar Guys as one of the most active cigar media brands across all platforms.
