July, August, and September are the most popular months to have a baby. Why? In all likelihood, it?s because people, ahem, cuddle up more during the winter months. Nine months later, they have a reason to light up a fine cigar. A Family Tradition Celebrating a newborn with a new cigar is an age-old American tradition. It?s believed that back in time, when births took place at home, a soon-to-be father would hang back in a separate room while the delivery took place with the mother and doctor in the bedroom. Even further back, certain Native Americans offered a primitive version of the cigar to tribespeople who recently gave birth. Today, the birth of a new life is still a fitting occasion to enjoy a cigar. You can sit back and relax after nine months of craziness, and toast to your new child with friends and family. Summer Cigars With plenty of birthdays happening this summer--about 12,210 a day--you?re bound to have at least one occasion for lighting up. You?ll want to be ready with a cigar that complements the season, as well as one of the biggest events of a parent?s life. Churchill Maduro - Smoking a Churchill cigar with a hearty maduro wrapper will give you a complex flavor with a sweet underlying taste. Named after the famed Prime Minister of England, Churchill cigars are big, beefy, and full of character. The larger sizer will give you a long, drawn out smoke that?s perfect for passing around the room. A Variety of Torpedo Cigars - A somewhat smaller smoke than the Churchill, the torpedo still packs heat, giving you an hour and a half long smoke. Its iconic head emphasizes the strength of a cigar?s blend, so smoking torpedoes of different strengths will give you surprisingly different experiences. That dynamic quality can come in handy when catering to a party of smokers with varying tastes. Bring a whole gift basket to the baby shower! Robusto Habano - A smaller cigar that better suits the modern pace, the robusto will give you a briefer smoking experience without sacrificing rich flavors. The habano wrapper will make for a short but spicy smoke that will complement the season?s warm weather nicely. Having a baby this summer? Looking for a baby shower gift for a new mom or dad?
