When I was planning our trip to Puerto Rico, I knew there were four things we had to have there: chocolate, coffee, rum, and cigars. I left those last two to Pete.
When we were there, we went to the Museo del Tabaco in Caguas, which is across the street from one of Don Rey Cigars’ cigar shops. It was packed with Puerto Rican made Don Rey cigars, plus others that we can get in the United States, like Romeo y Julieta.
Pete enjoyed a cigar while we hung out, and he was sort of bummed that he didn’t have a travel humidor with him to bring back any cigars as gifts.
If you’re looking for a great gift for the cigar enthusiasts in your life, you’re in luck. We put together this list of Great Gifts For Cigar Smokers, so you can find something great.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for on this list, or you’re just doing more shopping this holiday season, check out our other gift guides. You’re bound to find something fun in one of those shopping guides.

Quick note: If you are buying cigars for someone, make sure that they are of legal age to smoke them.
Humidor Jar
Pete had a homemade humidor that was working just fine until he ordered cigars in bulk and the homemade humidor was too small. So he upgraded to a new humidor.
He has the Acrylic Humidor Jar, above, which comes with a humidifier and hygrometer. Every so often, he’ll have to add some water to the humidifier and that’s that. It holds 18 full size cigars or nearly 50 De Nobili cigars.
A good cigar humidor is such a good gift because it keeps the cigars fresh, so they last longer and taste better. Every cigar lover should have one.
Folding Ashtray
If you think “an ashtray is an ashtray is an ashtray,” you’d be wrong. So many ashtrays are made to fit cigarettes and don’t actually fit cigars. Plus, they’re not very interesting to look at.
This Folding Ashtray is perfect. There’s a removable cigar ashtray (for easy cleaning), a cigar cutter, puncher, and cigar holder. The box is perfect for traveling because it has all the essential cigar accessories a cigar smoker could need. The only thing about it is that the puncher doesn’t lock in place, so your cigar smoker might want to leave it at home.
The ashtray is removable, which makes it super easy to clean.
Cigar Whiskey Glass
A cigar and a whiskey go hand in hand. And that usually means one in each hand, which is hard if your cigar fan is someone who talks with their hands. That’s why this cigar whiskey glass is perfect.
It has a space on the side where a cigar fits perfectly. It fits up to a 54 ring (although that’s a tight squeeze; a 50 or 52 fit better).
The cigar whiskey glass is a really cool conversation starter too. Once your cigar fan brings it out, everyone will be asking where it came from. And you’ll be the hit of the conversation.
Cigar Aficionado Magazine
I got Pete a subscription to Cigar Aficionado magazine a few years ago and he absolutely loves it. He’ll sit on the porch, smoking his cigar, reading through the magazine.
It’s filled with articles about cigars, advertisements for rare cigars he never heard of, and more. It’s a great way to stay up on cigar knowledge.
So, for your cigar fan who has everything, an annual magazine subscription is something different. And, even if your friend does subscribe, you can just tack a year on to the current subscription, which is nice.
Cigar Tasting Journal
If your friend likes his cigars, he’ll like remembering them too thanks to this Cigar Tasting Journal. There are 100-pages in this journal, so he can chronical 100 of his cigar adventures, leaving them ratings, notes, and more.
There are a bunch of these out there, but what I like about this specific cigar log book is that there’s a spot for the label to be affixed to the page. A lot of people save the labels, but don’t really have anywhere nice to save them. This journal changes that.
You can order it as a hardcover or a paperback book.
Personalized Custom Engraved Lighter
If your dad is who you’re shopping for, he needs a good lighter for his cigars. Sure, he probably has a cigar lighter (or one dozen cigar lighters, like women and their lip balm). But what he doesn’t have it a personalized custom engraved lighter.
This specific one has 30 designs to choose from, from “World’s Best Dad” (which would be the perfect choice for Father’s Day) to your own personalized message. Adding your own message makes this a really thoughtful gift, so maybe go with that. You can also choose either a black, white, silver, or gold lighter. With that many combination options, you’ll be able to find the perfect one for dad.
Don’t forget to also purchase some lighter fluid to go with it too.
Personalized Whisky & Cigar Tray
Whisky and cigars are a classic pairing. If you agree with that, but you weren’t a big fan of the Cigar Whiskey Glass above, we have a gift you might like better: a personalized whisky and cigar tray.
The tray has an ashtray with two built-in cigar rests on one side and an engraved, built-in whisky glass coaster on the other side.
You can choose from a few predetermined stylings for the engraving. But, if you don’t like any of them, you actually have the option to add your own custom image or text, which is a really nice personalized touch.
That’s What I Do I Smoke Cigars And I Know Things Mug
Most dads know everything. That’s just how they’re built. If your dad knows everything, and he smokes cigars, he needs this That’s What I Do I Smoke Cigars And I Know Things Mug.
There are a few styles of this much (including one with a Harry Potter font), but I like this one best because the “i” in cigar is the image of a cigar. It felt a little more creative to me than some of the other options.
I’m Holding A Cigar Yes I’m Busy Shirt
I’m laughing way too hard at this I’m Holding A Cigar Yes I’m Busy shirt because it’s something I could absolutely see Pete’s dad wearing. I couldn’t see him saying this, just wearing the shirt as a joke. But saying it while he’s reading it. As a joke.
And I bet your dad would too. Plus, it would give him an excuse to say no to anything else mom puts on his honey do list.
Cigars
There are so many different kinds of cigars out there. If you don’t know what your friend’s favorite cigars, it’s hard to just pick one at random.
So, instead, go to a smoke shop and ask for the best cigar brands, then find one in your price range (keeping in mind that price ranges on premium cigars can vary drastically with the quality of the cigars).
If you’re rather shop an an online cigar store, like Holts Cigar Company, you can order cigar sampler pack, which is good if you don’t really know what you’re buying. Sometimes, it’s the thought that counts.
