Whether it’s a quiet moment between the groom and his best man or a group celebration with guests on the terrace, cigars create memorable moments. Choosing the right ones can elevate the entire experience.

If you’re new to cigars, or can’t decide what will be suitable for the more novice smokers in your group, then don’t worry. We’ve put together a list of our best wedding cigars, so you can focus on preparing your dance moves for your special day.

Why Smoke Cigars at Weddings?

Cigars have long been associated with celebration. Historically, they’ve been smoked at life’s most significant milestones: the birth of a child, a major promotion, retirement, and, of course, weddings.

Cigars can be seen as a luxury, making them a special treat for a special day, but they also offer a bonding experience for the wedding party, providing a moment to reflect and toast to the future.

Whether you’re handing out cigars to the groomsmen, offering them to guests, or simply enjoying a moment of reflection after the vows, here are some top picks that deliver on taste, presentation, and celebratory charm.

Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill

Size: Short Churchill (5″ x 50)
Strength: Medium
Flavour Notes: Cedar, toasted nuts, sweet spices, vanilla, coffee, cocoa.

The Short Churchill is a classic Cuban cigar, ideal for weddings because of its accessible flavour profile and shorter format. It delivers all the elegance of a full Churchill but in a more manageable size, perfect for a quicker 30–40 minute smoke.

Its romantic brand name and smooth character make it a great option to mark the moment without overwhelming guests who might be newer to cigars.

Davidoff Winston Churchill Petit Panetela – The Raconteur

Size: Petit Panetela (4″ x 38)
Strength: Medium
Flavour Notes: Soft spice, coffee, cream, and cedar.

This elegant petit cigar is part of Davidoff’s luxurious Winston Churchill range, paying tribute to the great man’s love of cigars. The Raconteur format is ideal for weddings thanks to its short smoking time (around 15–20 minutes) and complex, smooth flavour.

It’s a crowd-pleaser; refined, beautifully presented, and non-intimidating for occasional cigar smokers.

Available as a set of 5 in a stylish tin or as single sticks, the Raconteur is an excellent choice for weddings.

Zino Nicaragua Robusto

Size: Robusto (5″ x 54)
Strength: Medium to full

The Zino Nicaragua Robusto is a bold and modern option. It’s got a little more kick than the others on this list, making it a great choice for those who enjoy a richer smoking experience.

Despite its strength, it’s beautifully balanced and burns evenly, making it ideal for celebratory toasts with a dram of whisky or rum.

It has enough depth to satisfy aficionados, yet it’s smooth enough for less experienced smokers.

Tips for Choosing Wedding Cigars

• Consider size and duration: Not everyone will want a long smoke; smaller formats (Petit Coronas or Panetelas) are often better suited for weddings.
• Presentation matters: Choose cigars with bands or boxes that look elegant, bonus points if they match your theme.
• Offer a mix: Have a few different options to suit different tastes and experience levels.
• Pair with drinks: Whisky, rum, champagne, or even espresso pair wonderfully with a good cigar.
