Cigars are an acquired taste, but once you’ve developed a passion and appreciation for a fine cigar, you’ll likely also develop a proclivity for fine cigar accessories. Let’s take a look at some of the must-have accessories for the cigar lover.
First of all, every cigar lover should have a cigar humidor. Cigar humidors are specially designed to store cigars at optimal temperature and humidity to preserve freshness and flavor. If you neglect to store your fine cigars at the optimum humidity and temperature, you will find that they become dry and brittle.
The best humidors are constructed of high-quality hardwood such as cherry or oak and typically boast a glass front. Humidors also are equipped with gauges to track humidity levels and a small, refillable pan of water. If you’re lucky enough to have the space and the funds, you may want to consider purchasing a walk-in humidor.
Another must-have accessory for the cigar lover is the cigar cutter. Cigar cutters are designed to snip the ends off cigar tubes before lighting. Cigar cutters come in a wide variety of styles and designs. They are available in patters both very ornate and simple.
In order to enjoy smoking a cigar, one must first light a cigar. Therefore, another cigar lover’s must-have is the cigar lighter. Cigar lighters can be purchased in a decorative desk top variety, or can be small and compact. One fun option is the jet lighter. Cigar jet lighters are much like a mini-blow torch, and make for a cool conversation piece.
You may also appreciate a nice, leather-bound cigar holder. These accessories are a fashionable way to take your favorite fine cigars wherever you go. If you’ll be attending a dinner party or other social function, the cigar holder is a great way transport cigars for sharing.
Top off your collection with a series of decorative and functional ashtrays. As you already know, ashtrays can be personalized and fun, or elegant and beautiful. Today, it’s also possible to find high-tech ashtrays that will filter cigar smoke before it has a chance to fill the air! It’s also a good idea to purchase ashtrays that will serve as decorative elements when not in use. For this reason, you might want to enlist some help selecting one.
So, whether you’re an avid cigar lover, or you know someone who is, this list of must-have cigar accessories will make for a great buy. Continue the cultivation of your refined tastes with a few well-chosen cigar accessories.
