Cigar sampler gifts are an incredibly convenient way to give a cigar smoker a whole new set of flavors to enjoy. Many aficionados can get into a routine of smoking a particular brand or line, which is fine – we all have our favorites and go-to's. But it’s a shame to let this keep you from enjoying all that the cigar world has to offer.
Cigars are like liquor – you have to branch out every once in a while to see what you’re missing.
Cigar sampler gifts come from a variety of the world’s top cigar brands. These premium cigar makers regularly top the charts and land on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of the Year list with countless 90+ ratings and legions of fans happily puffing away on porches and patios across the country. These companies include Arturo Fuente, Padrón, My Father, Drew Estate, Ashton, Oliva, and so many more. Each of these companies creates cigar sampler gifts that showcase the best that their brand has to offer.
You can find cigar sampler gifts built in a number of different ways. When produced by a single company, you may find a collection of different blends or a sampler pack that is focused on a single blend and that simply includes different shapes and sizes of it. Surprisingly, you can get a noticeably different experience from cigar to cigar this way, and diehard fans of a particular blend almost always will enjoy getting to experience it in all formats, from big to small.
Other cigar sampler gifts are built to include more variety, offering Maduros, Connecticut's, Habanos, and a variety of different blends from a specific company, or even a number of different companies. There are samplers that include 90+ rated sticks from different manufacturers, aged selections from varying companies, or even blends focused on a certain wrapper like broadleaf or candela. It’s really an embarrassment of riches.
If you’re wondering what to get your recipient, it always helps to know what they like. Take a look in their humidor and see if there’s a particular brand or cigar type. If everything is dark, it’s probably best to get some earthy Maduros. If everything is from a particular company, the safest option is to try to find something in our cigar sampler gifts section that’s also from that company. Or you could find something highly rated from another company and give your recipient the chance to experience something a bit different.
Father’s Day, birthdays, Christmas… whatever the occasion, cigar sampler gifts are a great way to make a cigar lover’s day.
