5 Best Father’s Day Cigar Gifts
When Dad is a cigar lover, you’ve got an awesome variety of gift options for Father’s Day. Cigar samplers, accessories, humidors, or a box of cigars, or even simply a single cigar are excellent gifts to show your appreciation for the guy who’s fed and clothed you and kept a roof over your head since your first day on the planet. We’ve outlined our top Father’s Day gifts below when you’re looking for a gift idea that’s guaranteed to impress your dad.
#1 - Cigar Assortments
Cigar samplers should always be your first stop. If you know what brand your dad likes, get him a collection with some different sizes or shapes. If you don’t know what cigars he prefers, no problem. Cigar assortments include a wide variety of blends, shapes, and flavor profiles. Cigar connoisseurs love to try new cigars they haven’t had before.
Both the Ashton 5-Cigar Assortment ($49.95) and Ashton 10-Cigar Sampler ($99.95) feature five distinctive premium Dominican profiles blended by legendary cigar-maker Carlito Fuente. Mild, medium, and more full-flavored cigars are included from a classic and instantly recognizable, top-shelf brand. Fuente Fuente Opus X Lost City Assortment ($134.95) is a bit pricier, but also very rare. Five different sizes from the exclusive and elusive Opus X portfolio are drafted from the Fuente family’s most prized tobaccos.
The appropriately named My Father Sampler ($46.95) features five unique sizes blended by the award-winning Garcia family in Estelí, Nicaragua. Full-bodied notes of leather and cedar deliver a touch of sweetness with an Ecuador Habano wrapper over a stunning core of aged Nicaraguan long-fillers. Padron is an equally iconic Nicaraguan brand. The Padron 1964 Anniversary Sampler ($90.95) is handcrafted in a Natural or a Maduro wrapper leaf. Notes of cedar, cinnamon, cocoa, and cayenne pepper display plenty of variation in each size.
The La Aroma de Cuba / San Cristobal ’92-95’ Rated Assortment ($38.95) offers an unrivaled value with five cigars from two top-rated brands. Notes of hickory, cedar, black pepper, molasses, and coffee beans emerge throughout this ultra-popular collection.
#2 - Cigar Lighters
Who doesn’t love a new cigar lighter? Even if you’ve already got three or four, it’s super convenient to add another one to your man cave or golf bag. Brands like Xikar, Colibri, Jetline, and ST Dupont manufacture a ton of models. The Xikar Forte Torch Lighter ($62.95) includes a fold-out punch cutter and a precise red-hot single jet flame. The Xikar Element Double Torch Lighter ($37.95) and Xikar Enigma Double Torch ($50.95) are popular dual-jet models. All Xikar products come with a lifetime warranty.
The ST Dupont Maxi Jet Torch Lighter ($149.95) has been one of the most-requested cigar lighters for over a decade. Its sleek, pocket-friendly design is formal, sporty, and ultra-reliable. The Lotus brand also designs a handful of durable, well-made torch lighters, including the Defiant Quad Torch Lighter ($44.95) and the integrated Duke-V Triple Torch Lighter ($62.95).
#3 - Cigar Cutters
Cigar cutters make great Father’s Day gifts too. They’re always getting lost or forgotten in a drawer at home when your dad is headed out to have a cigar with his pals, so it’s ideal to keep an extra one handy. Xikar’s reputation is built on its innovative and sporty ergonomics. The brand’s bestselling cutters include the Xi1 ($55.95), VX V-Cutter ($32.95), and 009 Punch Cutter ($35.95) models. Every cutter is crafted with razor-sharp stainless steel blades concealed in a durable chassis.
Every man cave looks more impressive with a heavy-duty tabletop cigar cutter like the Colibri Quasar Desktop Cutter ($111.95). The design integrates a straight cutter, a V-cutter, and a compartment that conveniently conceals cigar clippings, keeping the coffee table tidy. Colibri also manufactures a handful of well-made pocket-friendly models for $34.95.
#4 - Humidors
Father’s Day is an excellent occasion to pick out a new humidor for your dad. A well-made cigar humidor makes life so much easier. Your dad can pick up a box or two of his favorite cigars when they’re on sale and store them indefinitely. Choose from a tremendous menu of finishes from Savoy. Prices range from the mid-$70s to around $150 for the brand’s classic line. Select a size that can hold anywhere from 10 to 100 cigars. The Savoy Executive Series offers high-end appointments like premium Spanish cedar hardwoods with interlocking joints, brass hinges, a tasseled locking key, and exotic wood grains.
#5 - Travel Cases
If you’re dad likes to go golfing, hunting, or fishing when he’s enjoying a cigar, a cigar travel case is invaluable. Choose a classic leather 3-finger case from Ashton for any formal cigar-smoking occasions ($55-60) or check out the exotic finishes Visol produces ($17-40). Xikar also manufactures a heavy-duty travel humidor which can hold 5, 10, or 15 cigars ($23-31). It’s made from ABS-molded crushproof plastic and features a water-tight seal and foam lining, perfect for protecting cigars on any outdoor excursions.
