For adults 18+ only.
There's smoking a cigar, and then there's the ritual — the clean cut, the proper rest between draws, the ash falling exactly where it should. The difference between the two is about Ksh 5,000 of gear and a little intention. Whether you're building your own setup or hunting a gift for the cigar lover in your life, this is the complete Nairobi buyer's guide.
1. The Ashtray: Your Setup's Centrepiece
A cigar is not a cigarette — it needs a wide rest slot, a deep bowl, and ideally a stub well. Our Cigar Ashtrays collection covers every style of smoker:
- Portable single-slot rest ashtrays — pocketable, perfect for balcony sessions and road trips.
- Guevara RTS portable high-end — engineering-grade build for smokers who travel with their ritual.
- Ceramic statement pieces — the Arturo Special Edition and our ceramic collection turn an ashtray into living-room décor.
- Cohiba classics — the Black Cohiba, the 55 Aniversario, and the full Cohiba Signature gift set for the brand loyalists.
2. The Cutter: One Clean Cut Changes Everything
Biting the cap or hacking it with a kitchen knife ruins the draw before you've even lit up. A proper guillotine cutter gives a clean cut that keeps the wrapper intact and the draw open. Our steel-blade cutters in the Cigar Cutters collection handle ring gauges up to 3.1cm — wide enough for the fattest gordo in your humidor.
3. Humidors & Storage: Protect the Investment
Nairobi's climate swings between dry-season dust and long-rains humidity — both are enemies of a good cigar. A humidor holds your sticks at the sweet spot, while sealed storage jars are the budget-friendly play for smaller collections. Rule of thumb: if you're buying cigars by the 5-pack, you need storage by next month.
4. The Cigars Themselves
Gear means nothing without the leaf. The Cigars & Cigarillos collection runs from everyday Swisher Sweets to the serious shelf: Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Anniversary, Perdomo Fresco in Robusto and Churchill, Cohiba Puro Dominicana, the full Bahia range, Acid Blue Blondie for something infused, and Black Ops Habano when you want power.
