Mission
The mission of the Boutique Cigar Association is to create a unified and collective voice for all small premium cigar manufacturers to work together against any federal regulations and state tobacco tax laws that may adversely affect our businesses.
We focus on the preservation of family-owned premium cigar manufacturers. This subset of the premium cigar industry is defined as producers of under one million cigars annually, effectively separating boutique manufacturers from all other premium cigar manufacturers.
Vision
Bring together family-owned businesses with a general benchmark of producing a million sticks or less per year and adhere to quality parameters.
Continue to support and align ourselves within the two segments of the premium cigar industry which are the family-owned premium cigar manufacturers and multinational companies.
Invite new manufacturing partners with a shared mindset and vision for the future representing our organization, BCA, in conjunction with the PCA and CRA. We stand together among our brothers and sisters with the full force of our members behind these three organizations that need our support in order for us all to excel.
Values
We are committed to maintaining a strong bond between family-owned cigar businesses and small premium cigar manufacturers by providing resources and networking opportunities for our members. We strive for mutual respect of everyone involved and expect high ethical standards and integrity of all members.
Through our efforts, we strive to preserve the role of small cigar manufacturers in today’s industry by advocating and having a unified voice to preserve and protect the small cigar manufacturers in our industry. In turn, this supports local businesses, economies and families.
