When was the last time you really, truly relaxed? If you can’t recall, you may need a premium cigar, an extended vacation, or both! For today’s blog, we’ll list a few of our favorite smokes to enjoy while chilling on vacation. These are the five best vacation cigars.

Best Travel Cigar - Punch Knuckle Buster Shade (Stubby)

Pound for pound, there’s no better all-around travel cigar than Punch Knuckle Buster Shade Stubby. Here’s why:

It was rated 90 by Cigar Aficionado
It features a delightfully flavorful Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper
Its Stubby (4.5 X 60) frontmark is ideal for an anytime, anywhere smoke!

Best Beach Cigar - San Cristobal Revelation

Lounging at the beach “hits different” than lounging anywhere else. As such, if you’re going to relax on a tropical vacation, you should bring along a unique, tropical-themed cigar like San Cristobal Revelation. This highly-rated Nicaraguan cigar features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and delivers tasting notes of cocoa, cedar, and smoked almond.

Best Cigar for Making Friends - Macanudo Café

A vacation is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and make friends. One easy way to ingratiate yourself to a new pal is to share a cigar with them! While you can’t go wrong here, we’d recommend always having a few Macanudo Cafés in your travel bag, just in case. Café is famously approachable and smooth, making it a great smoke to share with just about anyone!

Best Road Trip Cigar - CAO Flathead

While lighting up a few CAO Flatheads on a road trip may not help you get to your destination any faster, it will definitely help you enjoy the journey more. This iconic, 95-rated blend offers a medium-to-full-bodied smoking experience strong enough for any seasoned cigar lover. And for extra-long road trips, go for the new CAO Flathead Resonator (8 X 60).

Best Budget Vacation Cigar - Perdomo Lot 23

Look, we get it. Vacations are expensive! Thankfully, you can still have a fabulous cigar for under $8. Perdomo Lot 23 is just one such example of an excellent “value” cigar. Pick one up for your next trip — you won’t be disappointed!
