Gift Sets for Every Type of Cigar Smoker

Gift shopping is rarely a simple task, but there are certainly ways to make the experience easier. Follow our guide to finding the right cigar gifts for your loved ones, based on the type of cigar smoker they are.

The Non-Cigar Smoker

If you’d like to offer the gift of a delicious smoke to a friend who hasn’t enjoyed the delights of a cigar before, there are plenty of gift options for the cigar novice.

It’s probably best not to launch them straight into the world with a big box of Cubans; they likely won’t know what they like yet, or if it’s a habit they want to maintain!

Instead, treat them to a single cigar or two from a top brand, allowing them to get a taste for high-quality smokes. You can take a look at our top ten cigars for new cigar smokers for inspiration.

The Quintero Favoritos Cigar in a Gift Box could make a great choice for a beginner’s gift. This budget smoke offers a pleasant daytime smoke with medium strength. The cigar comes in a box with a cigar cutter, giving them the tools they need to get started with cigar smoking.

Alternatively, a gift set that includes a cigar can be a wonderful choice, such as our Partagas Serie E No.2 & Hine Cigar Reserve Gift Box. This set contains Hine Cigar Reserve XO Cognac and a Partagas Serie E No.2 cigar for a perfect pairing experience, as well as a tasting glass, cigar cutter and matches.

This gift set is ideal for those who haven’t smoked cigars before, as they can still enjoy the wonderful Hine Cognac if they don’t find they enjoy cigar smoking! Plus, with a cigar cutter and matches included, the new recruit to cigar smoking will have all the kit they need to get started!

The Cigar Beginner

If you’re buying a gift for someone who has recently taken up cigar smoking, then you’ll have many options when it comes to picking a present.

Newbies to the world of cigars will have a lot of taste testing ahead of them to find out what kind of cigars they like best and are willing to invest more money into.

Our The Don’s Cigar Gift Box is a great choice, as it includes three cigars to try, alongside essential accessories for a cigar smoker, including a beautiful Cherry Cigar Ashtray, Cigar Reserve Spanish Cedar Spills, cigar cutter and matches.

The set contains:

• E.P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel Robusto Cigar (5″ x 50)
• Leaf by Oscar Sumatra Robusto Cigar (5″ x 50)
• Cavalier BII Viso Jalapa Robusto Gordo Cigar (5″ x 54)

The Cigar Enthusiast

A cigar enthusiast is someone who has been smoking cigars for some time – although they may not have decided on a favourite cigar yet.

Not one to settle for a mediocre smoke, a cigar enthusiast can be somewhat tricky to buy for, as they’re always looking for the next best smoke. As someone who likes to sample a wide range of different smokes in search of ‘the one’, a selection pack of cigars is an ideal gift for a cigar enthusiast.

Our Havana House Exclusive Brands Cigar Selection is an ideal choice, as it contains four cigars that are exclusive to Havana House in the UK – so they might not have tried some of these yet!

The selection contains:

• Adventura the Navigator Pinzon (5 1/2″ x 50)
• Casdagli DB52 Petit Robusto (4 3/4″ x 52)
• RoMa Craft CroMagnon Cranium (6″ x 54)
• JSK Tyrannical Buc Dobles Maduro (6 1/2″ x 50)
• The set also comes with a cigar cutter and matches.

The Cigar Collector

While you may think that finding a cigar-related present for a collector is a particularly difficult task, it doesn’t actually need to be that hard!

Look for specially launched cigars, such as Limited Edition, Edicion Regional and Anniversary smokes. Here at Havana House, we have a wide selection of rare, aged and vintage cigars that you can choose from, including the Cohiba Majestuosos 1966 Humidor!

An exciting gift for a cigar collector in 2023 is the Daniel Marshall 24kt Gold Torpedo Cigar (Signed Coffin from 2011). This unique cigar is wrapped in 24-karat gold leaves and is meticulously rolled in Nicaragua at the famed Plasencia factory in collaboration with cigar legend Manuel Quesada. These cigars are packaged in individual coffins signed and dated by Daniel Marshall when they were produced in 2011.

If you’d rather steer away from buying cigars, then why not opt for a humidor? All cigar collectors need great humidors to keep their collection safe at the precise conditions required to ensure cigars taste their best. It will certainly go to good use, allowing your loved one to expand or organise their collection further.

The Cigar Aficionado

Buying a gift for someone who knows everything there is to know about cigars can seem like an impossible task.

But we have some really exciting cigars at Havana House that even the most seasoned aficionado will be thrilled with! The Montecristo A Cigar is a real rarity – it was discontinued in 2010, so we weren’t expecting to see more of these. The cigar comes in its own individual box, and it’s a monster smoke; you’ll need a good few hours to enjoy this cigar. We definitely think it’s worth it.

We also think it’s hard to go wrong with a Robusto, which is why we suggest The New World Classic Cigar Gift Box for the aficionados in your life.

Containing some of the best Robusto cigars from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, including beloved brands Hiram & Solomon, La Galera, and Chateau Diadem, this gift box is sure to go down a treat!

The set includes:

• Hiram & Solomon Grand Architect Robusto Cigar (5″ x 52)
• La Galera Imperial Jade Robusto Cigar (5 1/8″ x 50)
• Chateau Diadem Conviction Robusto Cigar (5″ x 50)
• Douglas Laing’s Scallywag Whisky Miniature (5cl / 46%)
• Cigar Reserve Spanish Cedar Spills Pack of 25
• Havana House Cigar Cutter and Matches
