Finding that perfect gift for the cigar enthusiast in your life isn’t always the easiest thing to do. It’s even more challenging when you’re on the hunt for that ideal cigar and you’re shopping for someone new to the cigar world or a seasoned veteran who “likes what they like” and “wants what they want”—especially if that person is one you call: dad, pops, etc.
If you’re looking for quality, it’s not hard to come across with an Oliva cigar. With a rich history dating all the way back to 1880, Cuba, the Oliva Cigar Company has since migrated to Nicaragua where they are the second largest grower of Cuban-seed tobacco. Showcasing a slew of ratings from Cigar Aficionado, along with Top 25 Honors, Oliva cigars are a true testament of standards when it comes to premium handmades. Bring the perfect compilation of this brand home in one complete package with the Oliva 90+ Rated Sampler Box. With 10 cigars in total, this sampler box contains cigars with, you guessed it, ‘90’+ ratings. Give the gift that is sure to please any father that admires a good leaf with this set from none other than Oliva cigars, today!
Next in line is Montecristo with humble beginnings in Cuba in 1935. Since then, Montecristo now operates out of the Tabacalera de García factory in the Dominican Republic. With palatable premiums that truly suit palates of novices, enthusiasts, and aficionados alike, there’s bound to be a Montecristo cigar that will become a mainstay in one’s humidor. Take for example the variety found within the Montecristo + YETI 12-Cigar Gift Set, which is sure to surprise any recipient as it arrives on doorsteps fully loaded. 12-cigars in total, this kit n’ caboodle comes with 2 YETI Rambler cups, too. All packaged in a gift box, there’s no need to dress it up with the nonsense paper, bags, or bows—making this limited-quantity set a gift Dad will never forget!
If you’re looking for something just as unique in terms of history and, in the form of a cigar, turn to no other than Ramón Bueso cigars. His story is a bit different as, for almost 40 years, he has worked tirelessly behind the tobacco industry scene. At age 15 he was already rolling cigars and in time became a confidant and colleague to legends such as Estelo Padrón and Frank Llaneza, ultimately becoming the driving force behind many popular brands. With nearly 35 years in the cigar industry, Ramón Bueso stepped into the spotlight with his own premiums. What better gift to give than a Ramón Bueso Genesis The Project Ashtray Sampler? This is the perfect gift for that discerning aficionado since you get six of the rich, satisfying Genesis The Project premiums and more with a removable, high-gloss four-finger ashtray, and a 6-cigar storage drawer, too. This is one sampler filled with cigars that truly keeps on giving!
The next venture into your perfect present search is the Drew Estate Undercrown Maduro Gift Set. With easily one of the most recognizable names on the market today, Drew Estate started from humble beginnings in New York City. In 1998, Jonathan Drew set out to Nicaragua to start “the rebirth of cigars,” now operating on all cylinders with the largest cigar factory in Nicaragua. Give the gift of experience with this fantastic gift from Drew Estate, featuring five Toro cigars and a branded lighter and cutter—all in one ready-for-use package.
