Our Difference
At Your Cigar Guy (YCG), we’re more than an online cigar shop — we’re a lifestyle curator. Our difference lies in authenticity, education, and experience. Every cigar in our selection is personally handpicked for its story, craftsmanship, and character — not just its price tag. We go beyond selling cigars to helping you understand them — from origin and strength to pairings and the right mood for each smoke.
YCG was born from mentorship under Ember & Oak Cigars, one of Nigeria’s pioneers in premium cigar culture. That foundation built our philosophy: loyalty, sophistication, and brotherhood. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned aficionado, we guide you to cigars that fit your taste, occasion, and personality — transforming every purchase into an experience worth remembering.
YCG isn’t just where you buy cigars — it’s where you belong.
Our Story
Founder Christopher Uwechue turned years of learning, curating, and sharing cigars into a brand built on three pillars — authenticity, loyalty, and experience. YCG represents a bridge between global cigar culture and local sophistication, offering not just cigars but curated experiences, education, and lifestyle access.
Every cigar we recommend tells a story — of origin, craftsmanship, and the moments it enhances. That passion for storytelling and connection is what drives YCG forward: helping people discover cigars not just as a smoke, but as a symbol of reflection, success, and camaraderie.
