How to Pick the Right Cigar Gift
- Find out what they smoke now. A band from their last cigar tells you the brand and line, and a similar cigar is a safe bet.
- When in doubt, give a sampler. Several blends in one pack give them a better chance of finding a favorite. Browse all of our cigar samplers.
- Pick tubes for stockings and travel. A tube helps protect the cigar in transit.
- Tell them how to store it. Cigars dry out when left in the open air, so if they won’t be smoked soon, they should go in a humidor.
Cigar Gift FAQ
What is a good cigar gift for a beginner?
A sampler or the Cigar of the Month Club. Both let a new smoker try several cigars and find what they like.
What do you get a cigar lover who has everything?
Something limited, like the Buffalo Trace Prohibition Collection or the Tatuaje Monster Smash Sampler, or an accessory like the Arturo Fuente Crystal Ashtray.

Orders are typically processed in 1 to 2 business days and arrive 2 to 5 business days after they ship, depending on location. We ship within the U.S. by USPS and UPS. For holiday gifts, order at least 7 business days ahead, and earlier for limited releases, which often sell out.
Are your cigars authentic?
Yes. We buy strictly from authorized brokers or directly from manufacturers.
