BLOG: Wedding Day Celebration Cigars

Mark your Wedding Day celebrations with a Cigar-bar

This can be achieved on a very small budget or can be a big part of your celebration day; it comes down to your friends and family of course (and your future partner).

For myself, being The Cigar Merchant of New Zealand for over 30-years, my wedding day of course included cigars as a lot of our friends were cigar-aficionados.

Weddings are a major milestone event in your life and it truly is one of those magical celebration days; so maybe give a thought to how you'd like to add cigars into the mix;

• Only a handful of cigar-lovers, maybe have cigars the night before with the guys
• Your friends and family know you love cigars, have some on hand for those that wish to enjoy
• Your partner is cool with your "other love" so you can put aside an hour after dinner to have a cigar with the guys and senior family members
• Budget isn't an issue and it's a full day and night of celebrations, hire an aficionado for your event to run a cigar-bar to mark a truly awesome day

Over the years, I have worked out that after dinner and speeches, the groom and bride mingle with their inner-circles for an hour or two; this makes a great little time for you to enjoy a cigar; but don't over-do-it and have a Toro or Churchill, it's not good to set forth from this momentous day being in the bad-books for spending a couple of hours hanging with the lads drinking and smoking cigars (an hour is on the edge of pushing your luck).

Already this Wedding season I've put together a variety of wedding-day packs (small cigar box, a couple of "special" cigars, smaller cigars for those that want to try and some infused cigars for those that want to try through to elaborate larger cigar-boxes and a wide selection of cigars for the big day).

Wedding day cigars don't need to blow the budget, feel free to email us with a budget and we can assist.

Cigars are certainly becoming more accepted these days and are regaining their mystique for celebrating the good times in life; it is one of the beautiful aspects of them, you sit down and relax for an hour or more and often with a close friend or group of friends.
