That's what every cigar aficionado wants to hear. Because cigar lovers are united by one very simple fact: every cigar flavor and quality is unique. And once you've smoked a few, you will start to understand that there is no comparison to the flavor and aroma of a truly exotic cigar, indeed, a once in a lifetime smoke.

Well we have compiled a list of the top 10 Best Cigar and Humidor Accessories (and Gifts), just in time for your new hobby of enjoying a good quality and exotic cigar. So sit back and relax, but don't smoke yet until you finish this book.

You are going to want to read about some of these very enticing new offers first so that you can get more enjoyment out of each cigar, one at a time. The quality is in the little details.

So let's proceed by covering some of our favorite accessories!

Don't light your cigar with just any lighter. A poor lighter might sputter or spit out butane. Maybe it hesitates or lights your cigar in an uneven manner - an insult to a good cigar. Even missing by a centimeter can be a problem. What you want is that sweet glow. A lighter that emits a consistent flame that does not quit is what you need. And the Vector Tri-Pump is just what the bartender ordered for you.

It's a heavy duty lighter built for a table top. It's the poster child for torch flame technology because it has almost enough power for industrial uses but it's meant for that bog ol' stogie you've been aging.

The main canister of the Trip-Pump has a handle and a mounted torch which will provide you with the perfect flame.

You can also get this lighter in 10 nice looking colors!

But that cool thing about this lighter is that your friends will notice it, and want to use it - even play with it. They'll want to get that flame shooting out and watch like a kid in a candy store.

Your thumb won't get tired either. All you need to do is press the button and that's it. You don't have to flick a little rotary wheel hoping for a good flame.

It can also be a nice outdoors lighter because you don't have to worry too much about wind or drizzle. This is THE table top cigar lighter of lighters.

This lighter is of such high quality it comes with a 5 year guarantee! Oh and don't take it out to your shop or garage and see if it can help you on your metalwork projects. It's a little too classy for that.

Vector also carries a double-jet torch mini-table top lighter. A perfect pocket sized lighter, it has a large fuel capacity, friendly, push down ignition, and wind resistance.

What is the difference between the diesel lighter and ordinary butane? Lighter diesel is cleaner, allowing less sediment to build up, so that keeping your table top or pocket lighter clean is easier and insures great lighting action every time.

Don't spend your time frustrated because your butane refuel has clogged up your lighter. Use the cleaner fuel of Vector lighter diesel. Lighter diesel compresses rapidly, giving you that solid torch flame needed for lighting your cigar.

Vector diesel lighters come in three different sizes, with built-in punches for your convenience. When investing in the best, invest in the best fuel to keep your lighter working smoothly.

By the way, fill your Vector lighters only with Vector lighter diesel.

Don't convince yourself that any pair of cutters will do for clipping the end of your cigar. If the cutters have dulled or are not conforming enough to make a clean clip, the results will be ragged, tiny ends of tobacco spoiling the carefully blended flavor of your handcrafted cigar, or worse, a crushed end.

This Titanium Cigar Cutter gives you state of the arts technology in a beautiful, compact teardrop shape that fits safely and comfortably in your pocket. The Xikar Cutter XI comes in a large variety of design colors, from a soft, silver gray for the person who likes quiet, classical tones, to the get down -rocker patterns for the young high-roller.

You'll like the feel of this spring-loaded cutter, that opens up with a solid, satisfying sound, and snaps closed just as solidly, with a built-in locking mechanism to assure it stays closed when not in use. This is a cutter you can carry around with assurance; just the right size to fit into your pocket, with knowledge that it will not break and will not accidentally spring open.

The blades stay close together as they slide in for the cut, which is critical for cutting the cigar cleanly without pinching. With an aluminum body and stainless steel blades, you have a cutter that is lightweight, durable, and always has a fine, sharp edge.

Face it. Finding an ashtray large enough to accommodate both your smoking pleasure and that of your friends can be a royal pain. They are usually too shallow, making it necessary to dump them every few minutes, or, if they are large enough, they are too large to look like a tasteful accessory.

What you want, is an ashtray modest enough that it doesn't take up your entire desk and deep enough to not have ashes flying all over the place. The Alec Bradley "The Bump" ashtray was built exactly with this problem in mind.

This limited edition ceramic ashtray stands on four squat legs, broad enough to prevent tilt, and with a bowl deep enough that you and your friends can smoke comfortably without having to empty the ashtray every few minutes. Its smooth, classical lines will compliment any home and office decor, and its roomy base is comfortable enough to even shelter your smoking utensils.

There will be no complaints of scattered ashes with this tray designed specifically for cigars. It's hard enamel surface will make for easy cleaning, keeping it shiny and new looking for years.

The ash tray is jet black, with the new logo of the Alec Bradley collection stamped inside the bowl, along with four well-placed cigar rests, just the right size for placing your Churchill's. Even the box, designed in gay, psychedelic colors is a collector's piece you won't want to throw away, and chances are, your wife won't let you. Feel like a king each time you sit down to smoke with the classiest ashtray ever designed for cigar smokers.

We are not a stationary world. We travel; a lot; and like to carry with us those things we find most comfortable in our home life. Our vehicles come equipped with radios and DVD players, we carry along our cell phones, and if we are smokers, our tobacco of choice.

Most vehicles come equipped with ashtrays, but even cigarette smokers are hesitant to use them. The fumes and ashes can damage the interior, and even interfere with the electrical circuits. If you're a cigar smoker, the problem is confounded because the ash trays simply are not big enough. The most practical solution is to bring along your own.

As logical as this sounds, most carry on ash trays are built for cigarettes. There is no holder to keep your cigar firmly in place, and the basins are too small to contain the ash. You have still defeated your purpose even before you started.

The most practical carry-along ashtray is the Xikar Portable Stainless Steel Ash Can. Stainless steel is one of the easiest metals to keep clean, but this is not the only advantage of the Xikar ash can. This nifty gadget is just the right size to fit inside most cup consoles in a vehicle, ensuring that it won't accidentally tip while it's open. The inside design of this ashtray is ingenuous.

There are two spiral ring holders to place your cigars when you are not smoking, or even to keep change for tollbooths. Complete with a screw-on lid, your ashes are contained, as well as the fumes that could ruin your upholstery. Embossed with the Xikar logo on the outside, this handy ash can is a must for any serious traveler.

A humidor should be attractive as well as functional. It is a part of your home decor, a furnishing meant to last for years. The craftsmanship put into making an effective yet beautiful wood humidor is as exacting as the care placed in crafting your quality cigars. If you are a person who appreciates high quality, you appreciate a humidor that reflects your tastes.

This is what you’ll find with the Merger High Lacquer Burl 30 Count Humidor.

The only words used to describe this useful cigar accessory is “absolutely gorgeous”. The 11" X 9 “ X 4" box, able to store up to thirty cigars, and is perfect for your desk or coffee table. The high lacquer finish brings out the natural burl pattern, with swirling deep rose, golden and mahogany colors. The added touch of black edging serves to accentuate quiet elegance.

“It’s beautiful,” you might say, “but is it functional?” Absolutely! This prized baby, lined with Spanish cedar, has premium humidification and its own hygrometer. You’ll be the envy of your friends when you display this exquisite box and demonstrate its usefulness by pulling out a perfectly humidified cigar. It makes a perfect gift, but you won’t want to let this one go. This exquisite humidor is destined to become an heirloom.

A Personal Favorite!

You can find a humidor in just about any size and shape you can think of. You can get them in small pocket size travel humidors which range from cheap plastic to luxury leather, and then there's the medium desktop size (the most popular size), and finally you can get large end table and cabinet or commercial walk in humidors.

A humidor is a crucial tool for keeping your stogies nice and fresh, or for aging them nicely.

So if you want to store a small supply of cigars, or if you have a massive collection of the finest cigars, you probably want to have a quality humidor, right?

You can get cheap humidors that do a decent job, but they may require constant meddling with the humidifier. Or you can invest a bit more and get one that requires very little maintenance after properly seasoning it (yes you have to season most humidors. It's very important).

Most cigar aficionados require a humidor that is easily portable so it can be taken on the road, or to a party. That's why I am suggesting you get the Dumaine humidor. It has space for up to 60 stogies, depending on the size and shape. It's a luxurious humidor that not only looks good but is very good at aging and storing your stogies.

It's perfect for the desktop cigar situation, or to give as a thoughtful gift to a friend or client in need. You are sure to make a big impression with a humidor of this caliber....

The Dumaine has a gorgeous ebony finish and like all quality humidors it is lined with Spanish Cedar (kiln dried, no less).

The size of the Dumaine is just thirteen and one half inches by nine and a quarter inches, and only six and one half inches high, making it the perfect size for just about any desktop, as well as portable for events or traveling.

The Dumaine has a display made of fine glass, and in addition it contains a simple divider and a tray on the second level for necessary accessories.

This quality humidor comes with a humidifier, and you get a 30 day money back guarantee.

WARNING: This humidor sells like crazy so get it now before it sells out.

NEW YORK 150 COUNT HUMIDOR: Another Personal Favorite!

The New York 150 Count Humidor is not just any humidor. It's a 'man chest'. It's for the real man's cigar storage. OK, maybe it's not just for the real man, but it sure does look and feel manly. And it works well too!

This humidor and the Dumaine are a toss up. I like them both for different reasons. So why not get them both?

With brass handles that are ornamented in a way that gives it girth and providing you with the ability to lift it with three fingers on each side, it feels manly.

An inlay of gold color in a domed shape gives you a feeling that it's a pirates chest.

The New York 150 Count Humidor is a killer humidor. The finish is a cherry lacquer. My favorite. It has a Spanish cedar lining (kiln dried), and it also has dividers and a tray made of Spanish cedar. These allow for adequate air circulation in the humidor.

The top of this humidor has quadrant hinges made of brass, and they are well hidden. These types of hinges are made for pianos, to preserve the elegance and beauty of the finest pianos. But this humidor has a lock and key so you can be sure your stogies are not just well stored, but safe from envious fingers. There is a hygrometer that is analog, which gives it a timeless quality. And you can easily replace this with a digital one if that suits you.

The size of the New York 150 Count Humidor is fifteen inches by nine and a quarter inches, by eight inches. This is a very comfortable size for any desktop, and it's portable as well, if need be.

One customer said he was able to store ninety four cigars, but that it can store up to one hundred and fifty smaller cigars. .

The main features of this humidor is that it has plenty of room for your stogies, it's 'manly' looking and feeling, and it is a well functioning humidor.
