Most people see a finished cigar. I see its entire story. It begins in the tobacco field, passes through fermentation, ageing and blending, and does not end when it is lit, but unfolds with every puff. Zigarren.Zone brings this journey to life – explained clearly, thoroughly researched and free from myths. This is how enjoyment turns into genuine understanding.

Benno Baumgartner was killed in a road traffic accident on 7 October 2026 through no fault of his own. This makes this documentary, which I had the privilege of making with Benno and his wife Marion in early May 2026, all the more precious to me.
