In general, cigar smoking has not been largely affected yet by the smoking bans, but you will have to tread carefully if you are having a cigar party in a public reception hall or contemplating a cigar for weddings as you may not be allowed depending on the venue.

It is said to come from the original carnival games, which were mostly partaken in by men, and as they did not give out plush toys, winners received cigar gifts instead.  Along the same lines, men playing slot machines were not paid out with coins or cash but were paid with cigar favors.  

It is no wonder that many of our current celebratory uses for cigars, such as cigars for weddings and cigars for birth announcements came out of everyday boredom as people were always smoking cigars, because cigar gifts were the only thing they could win so everybody had them!

Additionally, you may consider handing out cigar favors at the door or even have a cigar gift basket as a raffle or door prize for a lucky winner.  You might also add some uniqueness to your cigar favors by adding slogans to custom cigar bands with phrases such as “Snuffin’ out hunger one butt at a time” to give the cigar band ring a little extra pizzazz.  Of course, use your own discretion with the matter, as a banquet for lung cancer research is hardly the place to be handing out cigar party favors and cigar gifts.

Today, men often have specialized birth announcement cigar bands printed up as gifts to each other when they become fathers, but this tradition of personalized cigar bands did not exist in colonial America.  The real reason why cigar smoking as a trend became associated with births, is because during these “olden” times woman did not go to the hospital but gave birth at home with their mothers or midwives as aides.  Men were banished to the barn to wait, and at this time, it was customary when visiting to offer cigar gifts to guests, so men really just smoked the cigars because they had nothing better to do!

If you take it a little step farther though, or if your best friend does, you can make the event a little more special by having personalized cigar bands made that may say “Lil Rogers’ (or whatever your last name is) or the name of the child imprinted on them if you know the sex and have already picked a name.  Your friends of course may go a little farther and pick out joke custom cigar bands such as “It’s a monkey…”  The important thing is that everyone is healthy and now it’s time to relax with your cigar gifts.

impression. The aroma, along with a distinctive cigar label
can make for a memorable event. They can be made with your
choice of cigars, and you can also opt not to go with
customized cigar labels if you wish. The choice is yours.

There are many places online where you can purchase these,
and they can be delivered to your door long before the
event in question. (Just make sure not to smoke them all!)

you in particular!) very popular indeed.
