De Sigarenmaker: a focus on the craft

Museum De Sigarenmaker in Bergeijk covers cigar making through machines, tobacco and cigar bands. Guided tours, demonstrations and workshops are offered as different types of visit, for which arranging things in advance is advisable.

Plan your visit ↗

Material and handwork

See which tasks are explained in the display. A machine and a hand tool can reveal different aspects of the same work, with the explanation to guide you.

Looking at cigar bands

Besides technique, cigar bands also draw attention to design. Pay attention to text, image and format, and ask what context the museum gives for the collection on show.

Booking a workshop

A cigar-making workshop is a separate programme with its own duration and conditions. Check which format is available and do not confuse a normal museum opening with a scheduled activity.

Before you go

Confirm the exact visiting address and preferably make an appointment. Check public holiday closures and accessibility; the stated weekly hours do not guarantee that a guide will be present for every type of visit.
