Let’s dive in!
Cigar Stocking Stuffers
Everyone loves a good stocking stuffer! Typically, stocking stuffers are little trinkets, favorite candy, or accessories we could use daily. However, for the cigar enthusiast in your life, this is an opportunity for you to gift them the small cigar accessories or items they may not need but could help them out as they grow their cigar collection over time.
One item that could be extremely helpful as a cigar-related gift is a few packs of the Boveda Large Humidity 65%. Perfect to keep cigars humidified properly, the Boveda pack is the perfect size to put in somebody’s stocking. With Boveda packs, the person you’re gifting this to doesn’t have to worry about putting distilled water in their humidor. Just set the Boveda packs somewhere in your humidor and you’ll be good to go!
If you want to surprise the cigar smoker in your life with a fancier gift for their stocking, then the Cohiba Red Dot Pequenos in tins of 6 will catch them by surprise. Being packed in tins that could fit in your pants pocket, the Red Dot Pequenos are super creamy, while still being beautifully constructed, although they’re in a 4.19 x 34 size. Priced out at $30.68 for a tin of 6, it’s more on the expensive side when it comes to a stocking stuffer, but you will be the hit of the day if you gift your friend or family member a tin of these premium cigars from Cohiba in their stockings, especially if they weren’t expecting to see them in their stocking.
New Cigar Arrivals for Holidays
Who doesn’t love it when new cigars hit the market? It’s always an exciting time to see what companies are releasing from month to month. One of our favorite new arrivals to Cigars.com that would make a perfect holiday gift is the Macanudo Emissary France. These cigars feature tobaccos from the United States, as well as tobaccos from all the way from the countryside of France. It’s a complex and unique blend that is a perfect gift to give this holiday season to someone who appreciates a different kind of cigar.
Available in four different sizes, with a price range from $197.99 to $239.99 for a box of 16, this medium-bodied cigar will pair well with a white wine or any sweet spirit you enjoy. So, if you’re looking for the perfect pairing this holiday season to gift someone, consider adding the Macanudo Emissary France to the list of cigars to gift to your favorite cigar smoker, you know.
Essential Cigar Smoker Gifts
When I think of essential gifts to get for Cigar smokers, a cutter is one of the first items that comes to mind. Any variation of a cutter will do, but you just need to make sure the cigar is cut properly to have the ultimate smoking experience. Our go-to cutter here at Cigars.com as of late is the Lotus Omni Twin Cutter Chrome. Featuring two different cutting styles on one cutter is great to switch it up if you’re in the mood. With a sharp, guillotine-style cut that can cut up to a 64-ring gauge cigar sits beside a Deep V-Cut option, as well as showcasing two punch cut options on the side of this cutter. This multi-purpose cutter is stainless steel and who value their smoking experience and want to maximize a cigar's flavor profile. You’re essentially getting three cutters on one device for the price of $76.99. This seems like an essential gift to give to someone this holiday season.
Another essential gift for cigar smokers is an ashtray! Leave the troubles behind of trying to figure out where you can and can’t ash your cigar and check out the Stinky Cigar Original Stainless-Steel Ashtray. A perfect gift for a habitual cigar smoker who’s looking to rest and ash their cigars properly. The deep bucket on the ashtray keeps all the ashes at the bottom and won’t dirty you up or affect the cigar whatsoever. With a price of $48.99, this stainless steel ashtray is a key ingredient for that cigar smoker in your life who enjoys a nice, premium cigar.
Holiday Gifts for Cigar Lovers
I wouldn’t say our next gift suggestion is essential by any means; however, it is a different gift and a gift the person receiving this would greatly appreciate. Traveling with cigars can be a pain sometimes when you don’t have a portable humidor or a case to protect any damage a cigar could get from flying or a road trip. That’s why the sleek and eye-catching Prestige Drexel 3 Blue Cigar Case is a perfect gift to give to someone this holiday season. The pristine blue stitched pattern design alongside the cedar lining inside the cigar case is really everything a person could ask for in a travel cigar case. This Prestige Drexel 3 Blue Cigar Case can hold ring gauges up to 60 with no issue and will keep the cigars in prime condition. This also doesn’t put a dent in your wallet, with a cost of $29.99. So, you can snatch this up for the cigar accessory lover in your life and make their holiday that much more special.
Gifts for Cigar Aficionados
If you consider yourself or have anyone in your life who is a true aficionado of cigars, then gifting yourself, your friend, or family member the brand new Montecristo 90th Anniversary is the right choice to make. Celebrating 90 years since its inception, the Montecristo 90th Anniversary is for the aficionado in your life with a complex and stunning flavor profile that features elegant tobaccos from Nicaragua.
If you’re familiar with any cigar lines under the Montecristo brand, you know they can be more on the pricier side, and the Montecristo 90th Anniversary is no different. Although this premium cigar is more on the expensive side, a true aficionado will appreciate this box of 12 that’s meant for a night of card playing, cigars, and the spirits flowing.
Cigar Gifts Under $50
Now, if you happen to be on a budget this holiday season, then the Foundation El Gueguense Robusto is the perfect selection under $50.00. This five-pack is priced at $47.99 and is worth every penny. The El Gueguense from Foundation cigars was one of the first lines Nick Melillo created when he launched the company back in 2015.
Translating to “Wise Man”, the El Gueguense is the perfect cigar for under $50 due to its delicious medium-full bodied profile and affordability. If you know someone who enjoys Nicaraguan puros, then the El Gueguense is one of the most elegant cigars you could gift someone this holiday season.
Cigar Gifts Under $100
We know gifts north of $100.00 could be a little daunting and stressful, but if you are looking to spend a little bit more on cigars for gifts this year, then the Oliva Serie V Melanio Petite Corona No. 4 is in the sweet spot. It’s rare to find cigars from the Oliva cigar brand under $100, but this five-pack priced at $53.99 is a steal for some cigar smokers.
With an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, the Oliva Serie V Melanio Petite Corona No. 4 has a Jalapa Valley Ligero filler and a Nicaraguan binder. This five-pack may not be for cigar smokers who don’t enjoy more of a full-bodied cigar, yet finding these delicious premium cigars can be hard to find across the cigar world. So, snatching these up when you’re able to find them could be a perfect gift to give this holiday season.
Luxury Gifts for Cigar Lovers
The word Luxury is synonymous with cigars. There’s a handful of items to choose from if you’re looking to gift a friend or family member who has expensive tastes. Investing in a durable lighter is all a part of becoming a true cigar aficionado. Now, some may not want to take the gamble on purchasing an expensive lighter.
One lighter on the more luxurious side is the S.T. Dupont Defi XXtreme Chrome Lighter. Since 1872, this French company has been utilizing the best quality materials to create luxurious lighters for those with expensive tastes. Priced at $295.00, this sturdy lighter screams luxury for this highly functional device and is a perfect option to gift someone living the luxurious lifestyle.
If you’re all set with your lighter choices, then you could always shift your focus to humidors. Indeed, there are affordable humidors out on the market, yet if we’re talking luxury, then the Prestige Clevelander Metal Humidor is the top choice when it comes to luxurious humidors. Capable of stocking up to 250 cigars, the Prestige Clevelander Metal humidor is the perfect humidor for the premium cigar smoker.
Featuring rich cabinets, stainless steel tempered glass doors, and a modern look, the Clevelander Metal humidor from Prestige is priced at $457.99. If you know someone looking to step up their storage and humidification this holiday season, then this luxurious humidor from Prestige Imports is the choice for you!
Cigar Gift Set for Hosts
Lastly, if you have been invited to a holiday party this season, it’s always polite to bring a gift for the host or hostess of the party. A perfect gift set for your host this season is the E.P. Carrillo Triumph Sampler. This sampler includes one Pledge by EP Carrillo Prequel, one Encore by EP Carrillo Majestic, and one Perez Carrillo La Historia EIII, all for the price of $34.99.
You want a gift for a host to be memorable, while it doesn’t break the bank, and this sampler is the perfect choice for that.
