Best Holiday Cigar Ideas
Every holiday occasion is better when someone chooses to buy cigars for that special smoker in their life, whether it be a coworker, a spouse, or a good friend. A stogie can make a great gift, but not just any cigar will do when trying to make a good impression. Too often mom just walks into a cigar store and grabs the first cheap rope she can get her hands on, resulting in a very sad Christmas morning for dad. Please folks, do your homework, relaxing with a good smoke is a lifestyle we all cherish, and we take it very seriously. With that said, I will show you how to make the tobacco buying process, easy, painless and within the confines of your budget.
If the recipient is a close relative, it is usually easy to find out what they normally smoke by simply looking at the box or asking someone nearby to do the detective work for you. If said person is a boss, employee, or other acquaintance, asking subtle questions without blowing your cover will offer useful clues to their personal preference. Something like “what is that you’re smoking, it smells good” will often have you hitting the jackpot. Take note of the wrapper color too, if its dark brown you will buy him maduro, if it’s light brown in color you will buy him natural, or EMS, depending on what the manufacturer calls it. Size and ring gauge is a little tricky, but if you catch him at the beginning of the smoke, your odds increase greatly. The best part is that most smokers will enjoy a similar size and length, as long as it is somewhere in the ballpark of his ideal dimensions.
The next challenge for the buy-ee is whether to purchase a box or a bunch of singles. A box of stogies (if it’s in your budget) would be the ideal gift to keep the smoker content for a long time. However, some of the super- premium cigars come with a hefty price tag. Let’s say for example, Uncle Harry has terrific taste and smokes the fabulous Avo Classic No. 2, rather than spending a large portion of holiday cash on a box, you can present him with a very classy 5-pack. I guarantee that when he receives five of his favorite Dominican cigars, he will be elated. In addition, with the money saved, you can toss in a nice cigar lighter or cutter to show how him how much you care.
