Page 2 of 2 The Padron cigar ashtray is large, sturdy and has long cigar rests to hold even the biggest smoke easily throughout the evening. It’s elegantly made and is in fairly wide distribution at Padron dealers nationwide. Best of all, it retails for only about $25.00. Worry no more about taking your cigar lighter with you in checked luggage! The Colibri TranzPack looks like an oversized capsule, but includes a thick foam interior with a cut-out for your butane lighter and screws tight to meet TSA standards for air safety. They’re just $14.95 each and an indispensable companion for the traveling cigar lover. Maker of a wide range of cutters of various ring sizes and cutting styles, Xikar is the current hot name in cutters. Whatever model you give, if it says Xikar, it says you gave a gift of quality. If you’re giving a lighter, how can you do better than a Dupont? The X-Tend is the Dupont’s torch line and like everything in the line, it is just elegant. The standard X-Tend retails for $195.00 and is offered in six styles; there is also an X-Tend Mini in five styles for $150.00 and an Opus X-branded X-Tend, also for $195.00. Blazer pioneered the torch lighter and the new Optimus series incorporates their patented torch technology with a removable cigar cutter that has a magnetic lock to keep it attached to the lighter! How convenient is that? It comes in three finishes and is available at many Blazer dealers. Although better known for their fluid lighters, Zippo had success with butane technology with their Multi-Purpose Lighter line and this year introduced its first torch lighter series made in the U.S. It uses a unique, patented, flint-wheel ignition system for the torch and like the fluid-filled Zippos, comes with the company’s lifetime guarantee. There are 12 finishes in the ZippoBLU group and prices run from about $48 up to $70 each. Still stumped? Ask your tobacconist for two inexpensive, three-finger leather cigar cases – one brown and one black – have him fill them with six different kinds of cigars, wrap them up and give it to your friend with a big smile. Keep smiling until he or she gives you one of the cigars back so you can share a smoke together. Happy holidays! ~ Rich Perelman

Did you know?
“Although the preferred humidity setting for cigars is 70%, temperature control of 70-75 F is equally important.
