- Weddings – At weddings, it is customary for grooms to pass out cigars to guests. Wedding cigars can be extravagantly expensive or low-cost, depending on the groom’s budget. Whatever the price of the cigar, it’s important to snap that iconic picture of the groom and his guests holding or smoking their cigars.
- Thanksgiving dinner – Thanksgiving dinner is a significant occasion for any American family, often with a lavish banquet of well-loved dishes. The dinner can be capped off by a host passing out cigars to family members.
