Dickson Yip, an Officier in the National Bailliage of Macau, has carved out a distinguished reputation as a leading figure in the world of cigars and a dedicated contributor to the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs.

His journey began in 2000 with The Pacific Cigar Company (PCC) in Hong Kong, where his passion for premium cigars quickly evolved into a lifelong vocation. PCC is the exclusive distributor of Habanos Cigars in the Asia-Pacific, with over 30 retail outlets across the region, and Dickson has been instrumental in growing the brand’s prestige and reach.

In 2006, Dickson took a defining step by establishing PCC Macau, swiftly turning it into a hub for cigar aficionados in the region. Initially as Sales Manager and then as General Manager from 2014, he oversaw both retail and wholesale operations across three shops, introducing high-quality cigars to a wider audience and solidifying PCC Macau’s position as an industry leader.

His association with the Chaîne began in 2014 and his support has certainly grown since. Dickson has become a cornerstone of Chaîne Macau’s events, generously sponsoring Gala Dinners and highlighting their sophistication with his knowledge and products. In 2023, his dedication was formally recognised when he was promoted to Officier at the Macau Chapitre held on November 30th.

Beyond sponsorship, Dickson plays an active educational role, particularly in mentoring new and younger members. He shares his deep understanding of cigar culture. From cutting and lighting techniques to pairing cigars with fine beverages thus enhancing members’ appreciation for the refined lifestyle the Chaîne embodies. His collaborations with top-tier wine and spirits brands like Seapower and Rémy Cointreau, as well as luxury hotels, have further enriched these experiences.

Dickson’s influence extends to wider lifestyle initiatives, such as supporting the Wynn Macau golf event, which incorporated cigar culture into its luxurious atmosphere. His guidance has also been pivotal during the Bailliage of Macau committee’s transitional phases, where he offered strategic advice and took on a supervisory role.

With over 20 years in the cigar industry and more than a 10 years of unwavering commitment to the Chaîne, Dickson Yip stands as a model of excellence, conviviality, and cultural enrichment. A true ambassador of the finer things in life.
