You are probably aware of the fact that there are lots of different cigar accessories on the market, fitting every cigar budget from cheap $10 lighters to limited edition humidors that can cost tens of thousands dollars.
When I was contacted by a company dealing in luxury cigar accessories, called
Cigar Luxuries, I asked myself what role the accessories played in the smoking experience. Personally, I own a quite expensive cigar lighter (gifted), but my other gear is rather low-end (Ive got a basic cutter and an ashtray that I got for free at an event). As you can see, I did not invest much in the cigar accessories (I did, however, invest in Riedel wine glasses because they are so classy, but thats another story).
Cigar Luxuries offer high-end cigar accessories and glasses made from 24% lead crystal and designed by renowned Italian specialists. What immediately strikes the eye is their ingenuity these are not just cigar holders and whisky glasses, they are especially crafted to preserve flavors (the cover in case of the cigar holder) and allow you to hold a cigar and the glass at the same time. I havent tried using the glass, but it sure looks cool.
Of course, these gadgets have a certain price tag that will seem excessive to some aficionados. Whereas I would not probably purchase one for myself, I would certainly consider gifting it to a smoking friend or colleague.
