Every Milestone Deserves Its Own Cigar
Birthdays, retirements, promotions, new babies, anniversaries — custom-banded cigars that turn life's biggest moments into lasting memories.
The Gift That Tells a Story
A bottle of wine gets opened and forgotten. A gift card gets spent and discarded. A custom-banded cigar with someone's name, the date, and a personal message? That gets photographed, shared, and talked about for years.
We design and print full-color cigar bands with your artwork, message, or photo — then hand-apply each one to a premium cigar from our collection. No design fees, no minimums beyond 20 cigars, and we ship nationwide from our Wallington, NJ studio within 2 to 7 business days.
Whether you're throwing a 50th birthday party for 80 guests or handing out cigars at the office after your baby is born, we handle everything: design, banding, packaging, and delivery.

Celebration Cigars — Common Questions
What is the minimum order for celebration cigars?
20 cigars. Most personal celebrations order 20 to 40 cigars. For milestone birthdays or retirement parties with larger guest lists, 50 to 100 is common.
Can I put a photo on the cigar band?
Yes. We print full-color bands including photographs. Send a high-resolution image (300 DPI minimum, PNG or TIFF) and we will size it to fit the band. Photos with clean backgrounds and good lighting reproduce best.
How far in advance should I order?
3 to 4 weeks before your event is ideal. Rush orders (under 2 weeks) are possible for smaller quantities — call us at (201) 250-4376 to confirm availability.
Can each cigar have a different message?
Yes. We support individual personalization at no extra cost. Each cigar can carry a unique name, message, or date. This is popular for retirement gifts where each colleague writes a personal note.
What cigar do you recommend for non-smokers at a party?
The Perdomo Habano Connecticut Gordo at $12. Six years of oak barrel aging removes harshness, and the creamy vanilla profile is approachable for anyone. The AVO Classic No. 6 at $13 is another mild option with a clean, nutty finish.
