DISCLAIMER
While this course is named CIGARS 101, it is far more than that: it is a comprehensive and focused education that could take years to get by other means. This curriculum is more like an intermediate to expert level course with broad and deep academic content. Furthermore, the exams placed throughout the lessons are meant to measure your knowledge, not stroke your ego. Our exam standards require a 90% to pass: just like our professional degrees at Tobacconist University. In fact, this cigar focused curriculum is the same as what we use in our professional Certified Cigar Sommelier Tobacconist (CCST) program, but at a fraction of the cost. If you want a professional degree, we recommend you leave this site and sign up for the CCST degree through our website. Regardless of the path you choose, when you finish this educational curriculum you will be truly enriched and amongst the most educated consumers in the world.
