It's not always easy picking out the perfect gift, especially your recipient is a cigar fan. Don't settle for a lame sweater or box of chocolates, get them something they will really like!

It’s that time of year where people everywhere will be giving and receiving. No doubt many holiday staples like the department store sweater, random box of chocolates, and some type of fossilized baked good will make their way into many of our lives. If you enjoy giving a gift doomed to never having the tag removed, then please pay no attention to what I am saying. If however you are buying for someone who may even just occasionally enjoy a good cigar, then I have what I hope is some good advice for you.
When you are buying a cigar for someone, there are some general rules to follow. You can’t always take the advice of someone as to what a “good cigar” really is. Everyone has different tastes, and just like you might love a Reese Cup, someone else might find it vile (hard to imagine though). More expensive isn’t always better. Yes, I’m pretty sure a cigar that costs less than a buck is probably not going to be very good, but you don’t have to spend a bundle to get a good premium stick. Take for example the Perdomo Slow Aged No. 826. This is a moderately priced cigar (around $2.50/stick) that is held in high regard.
Samplers can be your best friend. Even if you think you know what your cigar smokers’ preferences are, samplers can make a great gift. Many are packed with highly rated cigars from different manufacturers that give your recipient the chance to experience different cigars. Everyone likes populating their humidor with a nice variety!
Every cigar lover enjoys a good torch lighter. Even if they already have one, you can never have enough. It’s always good to have one to throw in the golf bag (or if the one you get them is nicer than the one they have, their old one goes in the bag!)
If your cigar smoker is indeed a golfer, there are two accessories they will be thanking you for both now and later. The cigar minder clip and Div Pro Divot Tool are great accessories to stuff a stocking with. The cigar minder clip is literally the single greatest invention since, well, the cigar. This thing clips to just about everything and securely holds your cigars. The Div Pro tool is both a ball mark repairer, and also a cigar holder. Both are great items.
So before you go mindlessly shopping at a mall, or cop out with a gift card, keep these ideas in mind. No one likes being that person whose gift you open last!
