Celebrating Mom with Premium Cigars: A Unique Gift Idea

Tomorrow is May 4th, as in "May the Fourth Be with You". Tuesday is Cinco de Mayo. Have you gotten the new Street Taco Limited Edition? The big day, though is Sunday. Mothers Day is a week away! We all have (or had) mothers, so it is a big day. It really is a day that cigars get overlooked, but many moms smoke cigars (and lots of ladies who aren't moms)!

We begin with the Spring 1996 Cigar Aficionado where Rhonda Shapiro-Rieser writes "I am a cigar smoking mother who has been banished to the porch by the men in my family. I find this exile sweet, since it means that for one hour, whatever crises my men have are theirs to handle. Cigar smoke keeps more than mosquitoes away." The story centers around she and her son sharing cigars - wise woman.

With the current state of the world, premium cigars may also be a more practical and accessible gift than the traditional bouquet and dinner. A Mothers Day bouquet can run from $30-$200, but most are between $40 and $100. Dinner will set you back a bit more, unless you scrimp. Do you really want to go cheap on dear old Mom? Let us make a few suggestions!

• Accessories If Mom plays golf or does yardwork, try a CigarMinder. It'll clip to almost anything and holds her cigar without crushing it. Maybe even a Vertigo Travel Ashtray - fits in a cupholder! We also have some very nice ashtrays and lighters.

  
  

• Sweet or Flavored Premium Cigars How about something from the Deadwood Line - Dominicana, Sweet Jane, Fat Bottom Betty, or the Girl with No Name. If Mom is a drinker, we've got Toro sized cigars dipped in Blanton's, Cognac, Crown Apple, Crown Vanilla, and Ted's Bourbon. Smaller ring guages come with a Scotch smokiness, Mojito flavor, or Rum.

• Regular Premium Cigars The Rojas Blue Bonnet, Statement, and Unfinished Business are all excellent small ring guage premium cigars. We offer several sports themed premium cigars from Karen Berger - Tailgate, Halftime, and Overtime. Surprise her with a Cohiba or Montecristo! Don't forget our Bailey's Cigars made by Artista!

• Cigarillos We've got plenty of tins to choose from and a few singles! The Ashton Senoritas, Fuente Exquisitos, and LFD Daiquiris are offered singly. We have 10 or 20 packs from Drew Estate, Joya, Macanudo, and several others - including a FireBall 10 count tin.

  
  

Fortunately, you don't need a special day to sit and share a premium cigar with mom!

Please, don't wait a year before you extend that invitation.
