What is the most preferred stick for a smoker?
As personal preferences vary, it is not always easy choosing something that each enthusiast will enjoy. This is where a sampler will come in handy. Many manufacturers have put samplers of varying sizes together in order to let the aficionado try several different offerings in an attempt to find their new favorite. Many of these packages will have sticks of varying strengths and flavor profiles. They often contain a variety of vitolas as well. This is an excellent way to experience many different flavor profiles without committing to the purchase of one box that may not be the smoker’s preference.
For the true aficionado, some of the sampler’s that would surely be appreciated may include the Arturo Fuente 2011 Rare Gift pack with includes 2 of each of the following: Double Chateau Sungrown, Double Chateau Natural, Fuente Opus X Perfexcion X, Hemingway Classic and Anejo 48’s. Another exciting option would be the La Flor Dominicana Los Perfectos 5 Ct Sampler. This offering includes one each of the following: Ligero Oscuro Natural, Double Ligero, Coronado, and 2 un-banded Perfectos of a special, unreleased and undisclosed blend, making each box a different treat. The Padron Sampler 8 count would be another great addition to any cigar gift set.

All of the sticks in this sampler have Maduro wrappers.
Any number of accessories would be another nice addition to a cigar gift set. A personal humidor is perhaps the most elite of the possible accessories. They are designed to help keep stogies fresh and allow them to age to perfection. A smoking enthusiast can never have too many humidors, especially those made of high quality materials. These little boxes can be customized for the enthusiast by having a personal message engraved on it.
A cigar lighter would be the perfect addition to any cigar gift set. While grabbing a traditional lighter may suffice in a pinch, for a true experience, a special torch lighter is a must. They are rugged and durable and a true necessity for any aficionado. A proper cutter is needed to snip off the end of the stogie before smoking. A special ashtray or fragrance lamp would be another great addition to a basket.
Deciding on what to include in a cigar gift set is a big decision, but it is one that will please the aficionado to the fullest. With the various humidors, lighters, and cutters that are available, the ideal package can be created for anyone.
