The cigar smoking lifestyle is intricate and full of traditions and rituals. As a newbie, you may feel like you’re lost in a maze; but with some guidance, you too can become a formidable sensei in no time.

The truth is, it’s not as complicated as it seems. With a few pointers and a few accessories, the pieces of the puzzle will slowly begin to fall into place. In light of this, we have compiled a few accessories, better known as add-ons to add on to your smoking experience and shake the greenhorn aura from you.

What You Need

1. Lighters

Rather than holding it up to the flame, the best way to light a cigar is with heat. You need a reliable constant heat source to gently toast the cigar first before lighting it.

There are cigar smokers who prefer long cedar sticks to light their cigars. Though not bad at all, it is quite traditional. The more contemporary way to do a good lighting job is by using a butane lighter. Some of the great lighters in our collection include the Firebird Big Burn Table Lighter, Altadis Torch Lighters, AJ Fernandez Lighter and Rocky Patel Icon Gun Metal 2 Flame Lighter. 

2. Cigar Cutters

A basic cigar cutter is integral for any serious cigar smoker. To get the best flavors and aromas out of a cigar, the cap must be expertly cut. Since there are various ways to cut a cigar, we will leave it at your discretion to choose what works best for you.

But as long as you are looking for a simple cigar cutter, we have some great options for you including Gotham Cigars Single Blade Cutter, Vertigo Cutter, Villiger Cutter and Oliva Cigar Cutter.

3. Humidors

Like babies, cigars need lots of TLC. They need to be kept in a temperature-controlled environment to avoid drying out. This is exactly what humidors are for. Humidors are wooden enclosures ideally used to store cigars in a  regulated environment.  This environment allows cigars to stay in a prime condition for longer periods of time and even age and mature over time. 

As you can deduce, a humidor is a total must-have for any cigar lover. We have some incredible humidors you can purchase. They include Gotham Cigars Travel Humidor, Gotham Cigars Desktop Humidor and Humidor Supreme Soldier Strong.

4. Ashtrays

Ashtrays are very useful for anyone who smokes cigars. A good ashtray is certified swag for an aficionado because it gives their favorite pastime a classic finish that highlights their sense of style. Cigar brands know this and that is why they keep producing amazing branded ashtrays for their fans.

Here are some stylish ashtrays to add pizzazz to your smoking experience. They are Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba Ashtray and H. Upmann Ashtray Romeo y Julieta 1875 Bully  which comes with 5 premium Romeo y Julieta cigars.

It’s not difficult at all to know your way around cigars. Now with your fabulous add-ons you can go on and enjoy your cigar experiences like the aficionado that you are.
