The meaning behind the flag:

The Band: The shape of a vintage cigar band, meant to honor the history of cigars

The Blue Color: Represents Denim

The Black Color: Represents Leather

The White Color: Represents openness and a welcoming spirit

The Tan Circle: Represents the hanky code color for cigars and cigar service. The shape and location is positioned so that it encompasses everyone no matter their orientation, side of the slash, or if they engage in giving or receiving

The Red Heart and Cigar: Symbolizes the love and passion for cigars and cigar service

The Colored Background: It represents the journey of a tobacco leaf from field to firing. A young leaf is green and as it ages and ferments the color darkens to the rich brown. This color gradient also represents our journey. We all started off a little green, some of us are content to stay in the light browns, and some of us walk that path to the end. 

This flag was created for and with the community in mind. If you would like to use the image, right click or long click the image and save it for your use. The purpose was for it to be shared. There is no copyright on the cigar flag, we only ask that it be kept in its original design and credit given.
