Summer wedding season is in full swing—and while the spotlight is on love, fashion, and celebration, there’s another subtle tradition that elevates the experience: the timeless pleasure of a good cigar.
Whether you’re a best man assembling the ultimate groomsmen gift set, a bride looking for a unique touch for the groom’s party, or a guest searching for a refined thank-you token, Toscano cigars make for an elegant and memorable summer wedding gift.
Rustic, refined, and full of Italian character, Toscano cigars are more than just smokes—they’re conversation pieces, a moment of pause amid the celebration, and the perfect way to mark a milestone.
Why Toscano Cigars for Weddings?
Unlike traditional humidified cigars, Toscano cigars are dry-cured, making them ideal for gift-giving. They require no humidor and are ready to smoke anytime, anywhere—on a beach, vineyard, rooftop, or rustic barn venue. Their unique shape, fire-cured flavor, and unmistakable Italian heritage add character to any wedding party or post-ceremony celebration.
Top Toscano Cigars to Gift This Wedding Season
Toscano Antico – For the Groom
Bold and full-bodied, the Antico is rich with earthy, smoky tones—a fitting match for the strong and grounded energy of a groom on his wedding day. A box of Antico cigars makes a great “night before the wedding” indulgence or a post-vow celebratory smoke.
Gift Idea: Pair with a premium whiskey or engraved cigar cutter.
Toscano Classico – For the Groomsmen
The Classico is versatile, medium-bodied, and smooth—ideal for a range of tastes. A few tucked into a customized groomsman gift box alongside a flask or cufflinks brings a vintage touch to the occasion.
Gift Idea: Include with a personalized lighter or leather travel case.
Toscano Garibaldi – For Guests or Welcome Bags
Mild, sweet, and very approachable, the Garibaldi is perfect for casual smokers and ideal for gifting to guests in a welcome bag or at a cigar bar station. Its smooth draw makes it enjoyable for celebratory settings without overwhelming the palate.
Gift Idea: Add to a custom cigar station at the reception, complete with matches and drink pairings.
Toscano Duecento – For the Father of the Bride or Groom
A longer-format, luxury Toscano cigar with elegance and depth—just right for honoring the parents or VIP guests. Duecento's complexity and extended burn time make it perfect for a quiet, reflective moment during a lively wedding weekend.
Gift Idea: Pair with a handwritten note and a fine brandy.
