Renewals

Why do I have to regularly renew my subscription?
We respect your choice as to whether you renew your subscription, so we do not renew subscriptions automatically. We will send you advance notification by e-mail or mail when it’s time to renew. If you would like to renew as infrequently as possible, we recommend a 2-year subscription, which also offers you a better value per issue.

I’ve moved and would like to receive Cigar Journal at my new address.
Please share your new address with us as soon as possible to avoid receiving the magazine at your former address. Please note that if you do not provide us with timely notification of an address change, we are not responsible for any issues sent to the wrong address.

How long does my subscription last?
Your subscription ends automatically after 4 or 8 issues, depending on whether you’ve subscribed for 1 or 2 years. We’ll notify you when your subscription is about to run out so that you can renew.

How do I renew my subscription?
When your subscription is about to run out, we will send you an e-mail or a letter to let you know how you can renew your subscription. Follow the link in the e-mail or renew via our online shop, using your subscription number and surname.

I don’t know my subscription number – how do I renew?
You can find your subscription number on your bill and in our renewal notices. We are also happy to help you in person: contact us at [email protected] or +43(0)2243/20897.

Can I renew my subscription anytime?
You may renew your subscription once you have received the last issue of your current subscription. You’ll receive all of the necessary information in the renewal notice we send you.

Is there an online subscription to Cigar Journal?
Currently, Cigar Journal is only available in print. However, our online archive features many articles from selected back issues.

Gift Subscriptions

How do I send someone a gift subscription?
You can easily order a gift subscription on our homepage. Learn more here.

How does a gift subscription work?
You may choose whether you would like us to send a notice to the gift recipient directly or whether you would like to send notification of the gift subscription yourself. You may also choose whether we automatically notify the recipient, or send notification at the time of your choosing. Gift subscriptions begin with the forthcoming issue of Cigar Journal and end automatically.

How do I renew a gift subscription?
After the gift subscription runs out, you will receive a notice that your recipient has received the last issue of her/his subscription. If you choose not to renew, the recipient then receives a reminder that the subscription is ending. As with a regular renewal notice, she/he receives information on how to extend the subscription.

You can order back issues directly from our archive. Please note that not every back issue is available. You can find more information on available back issues, delivery options and payment options on our back issues page.
