Thanksgiving may not be the first holiday you associate with cigars. However, Thanksgiving is all about reflecting, relaxing, and spending time with family and friends, which makes it a fantastic occasion to light up a quality smoke. The only problem? Figuring out which cigar you should set aside for Turkey Day. We’re here to help on that front! Check out these fine recommendations that will enhance any Thanksgiving celebration.

Diesel Vintage Series

Diesel was founded in 2009 under a banner of boldness. The recently released Vintage Series harkens back to the brand’s original M.O. This collaboration between Justin Andrews and AJ Fernandez offers a substantial, full-bodied smoking experience punctuated by notes of cocoa and hazelnut, making Diesel Vintage Series an ideal choice for lighting up with a glass of bourbon after Thanksgiving dinner.

Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano

Thanksgiving is a food-centric holiday. So it only makes sense to include a cigar made with a celebrity chef (Guy Fieri) on our list of Turkey Day Smokes. Thankfully, Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano is more than just a gimmicky cigar; it boasts exceptional Ecuadorian and Nicaraguan tobacco throughout the blend. If you’re headed to Flavor Town this Thanksgiving, you better bring along one of Guy Fieri’s cigars for the ride.

Alec Bradley American Classic

Though Thanksgiving has become more international over the years, it is still fundamentally an American holiday. With that in mind, Alec Bradley American Classic is an excellent choice for Thanksgiving Day festivities. Featuring a Connecticut-seed Honduran wrapper, this 90-rated mild-to-medium-bodied smoke makes a fine addition to any Thanksgiving.

Henry Clay War Hawk

Named after the legendary American Senator, Henry Clay War Hawk delivers a stately smoking experience. Its golden-brown wrapper catches the eye, and its beautifully balanced blend will delight cigar lovers, new and old.

Punch Knuckle Buster Shade

Need a good cigar to enjoy during Thanksgiving football? Then look no further than the tailgate-ready Punch Knuckle Buster Shade. Budget-friendly, surprisingly elegant, and bursting with notes of nuts, toast, and earth, Knuckle Buster Shade goes great with Turkey Day football and beers. Pick up a box; you won’t regret it.
