The Best Cigars to Give as Christmas Gifts

If you have a cigar lover in your life, there’s a chance that you’re wondering what the best cigars to give as christmas gifts are. Or maybe you’re just looking for a special stick to smoke as you celebrate the Holiday season and get ready to ring in the new year. Whatever the need, the  Houston cigar experts at Stogies World Class Cigars have selected four of the best cigars to give as Christmas gifts to help you make the best choice this holiday season. 

Note: Some of these cigars are limited edition, and when they’re gone, they’re gone! If you don’t want to miss out on the perfect cigar for Christmas, we recommend acting fast.

  1. Montecristo Cincuenta Toro 

One great strategy for giving gifts is to buy something that the recipient will love, but may not opt to buy themselves. For many smokers, a $35 stick doesn’t fit neatly into their cigar budgets. But as a gift, a cigar like the Montecristo Cincuenta Toro makes a big statement and is sure to please just about any lover of the leaf.

Crafted by some of the most skilled rollers in the industry, this premium medium-bodied cigar is a treat for the senses from head to foot. Made as a limited-time offering in honor of Tabacalera Garcia’s 50th anniversary, the Montecristo Cincuenta Toro features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper — a go-to for premium cigar makers — and quality craftsmanship that shines through even before the first draw. The flavor profile is nuanced and complex while still featuring many of the flavors cigars-lovers crave in a good stick, including spices, cocoa, cedar, and citrus. 

Who to buy it for: The Montecristo Cincuenta Toro is a great cigar to buy as a christmas gift for a seasoned smoker who loves the classics but appreciates indulgence from time to time.

  1. H. Upmann 175th Anniversary Churchill

One of Cigar Afficionado’s top cigars of 2019, the limited-edition H. Upmann 175th Anniversary Churchill is a stunning cigar that makes a strong impression fresh out of the wrapping paper and an even stronger impression once lit.

From the box to the band, the H. Upmann 175th anniversary is a truly beautiful cigar to give as a Christmas gift. This commemorative cigar is sure to impress (and maybe even surprise) even the heaviest cigar lovers. For this limited-edition release, famed cigar maker A.J. Fernández used a special fermentation process to bring out the best in its medio tiempo wrapper. 

Serious and casual smokers alike will find a lot to love here, including inviting flavors of chocolate, caramel, and leather. This is a cigar to savor; the flavors grow more intense as the cigar burns, and the presentation lends itself to finer occasions and indulgent pairings. If you’re lucky enough to find this while it’s still in stock, we recommend acting quick. 

Who to buy it for: Smokers with a taste for finer things and good drink. Beer lovers will get a lot of mileage out of this cigar, as it pairs perfectly with Brown Ales and Porters (Bourbon and Rum will also pair nicely).

The unusual conditions required to grow the leaf lend it a unique, full-bodied flavor featuring earth tones, spices, and raisins, alongside hints of caramel and almond. The Fuente Fuente OpusX Lost City is a complex smoke with lots of reward for discerning palates.
