Bondi Cigars are an Australian Blues and Roots band. Their album Down in the Valley was nominated for a 2002 ARIA Award for Best Blues & Roots Album.[1]

Bondi Cigars were formed in Sydney in 1989 by Shane Pacey, Alan Britton, Les Karski and Ace Follington.[2][3] Over time only Pacey and Britton remain from the original lineup. Many members have come and gone before settling on the current lineup.
