ABOUT US

Our Story

At myCigara, we exist to make the UK smoke-free. With nearly a decade’s worth of experience, we have grown to become a leading, trusted voice in the UK vaping sector.

Our journey began in 2012. Two brothers in the Sheffield area, both smokers, were introduced to the concept of e-cigarettes as a way of quitting smoking. It worked. Impressed, they decided they wanted to share their discovery with friends and acquaintances.

A few weeks later, grateful for having found a method for quitting smoking, their friends came back for more. Sensing a real opportunity to help others have an equally positive experience quitting smoking, the brothers decided to invest some proper time and effort into building a proper vape store.

They set about transforming their office space in Sheffield and in August 2012, opened our first brick-and-mortar vape shop. Soon after, with some investment from the market-leading Blackburn-based GM Group, they expanded to two more locations. Fast-forward 9 years and the Cigara name can be found across 13 retail stores from Dumfries to Dalston.

From the outset, our guiding principle has been putting our customers first —our key focus is, and will always be, on you.

We know how hard it can be to quit smoking, and we also know that vaping is one of the best methods for it. That’s why we offer friendly, expert advice tailored specifically to you, aiming you in the right direction on your journey toward becoming smoke-free..

Core Values

It’s important to us that our customers feel welcome in our stores.

More than just a shop, they should be a meeting-place. As the vaping industry has grown, so too has the community surrounding vaping. Our customers are able to go into any one of our stores and have a great experience, not only with our staff, but with other vape fans.

When you walk into your local Cigara vape store, you can rest assured that you’ll be given personalised advice that’s right for you and your vaping journey. Whether you’re just starting out, or a seasoned veteran, you can rely on our staff to identify your individual needs and wants. We’ll help you make the right choices and ensure that your experience with us is a memorable, positive one.

Whether online or in-store, we strive to adhere to four key principles to ensure an optimal experience for you, our customer.

Transparency: You will receive clear, impartial, and honest advice.

Expertise: By giving you the information you need, we help you make informed decisions that are right for you.

Convenience: We make sure you get what you need, when you need it.

Experience: We strive to give you a positive experience and to be a trustworthy source for all things vaping-related.

We exist to make the UK smoke-free. That means supporting our customers to make the decisions that suit them, to help them quit smoking—and stay quit.

Our Mission

Since opening our first store in Attercliffe back in 2012, we’ve continued to grow and expand. In April 2016 we opened our first London store in Bethnal Green; a month later saw the arrival of Cigara Dumfries, our first location in Scotland.

Today, Cigara stores can be found in thirteen separate locations across the UK, with particularly strong footholds in Sheffield and London. That way, we’re always nearby to serve and assist you on your journey toward becoming smoke-free.

When you walk into one of our stores, you can expect the kind of expert advice that comes with a decade’s worth of industry experience. Our staff realise that we’re all individuals, and will treat you as such. By identifying your own personal needs, they’ll provide you with help and guidance you deserve to get your vaping journey started in the right way.

By shopping with us, you’ll get clear, friendly advice from our highly knowledgeable staff, as well as be able to meet like-minded vape fans and draw on the strength of a whole community committed to the same goal: going smoke-free.
