Cigar Accoutrements

Toke on your next stogie in style with these lavish cigars and accessories.

X-tend Fuente Fuente Opus X
by S.T. Dupont
Price: $195

Got a light? Not just any old Zippo will do. For nearly five months, S.T. Dupont carefully assembles each lighter from 70 pieces in Paris. In 2000, S.T. Dupont launched this more modern, lightweight X-tend line to explore the latest in lighter innovation. It has a unique piezo ignition system and a blue rigid flame unlike the more traditional yellow. Its straight flame won’t break, and neither will your bank account. Sport the legendary Opus X logo or one of 10 different colors in matte or shiny. (Available at Up in Smoke.)

Price: $99.95
Handcrafted from rare Italian leather and crowned with exotic hardwood, it’s the smoker’s equivalent of a designer purse. Atoll cases are renowned for their elegance and quality. Each serves as a mini-humidor, lined with laminated Spanish cedar wood to ensure the perfect moisture for preservation. Whether you favor a Robusto or a Churchill, you’re in luck—they accommodate three cigars of any size. The best part? No one else will have yours. Atoll caps each case with a different type of wood, so no two are the same. (Available at Up in Smoke.)

Price: $9-$22.30 per cigar

Most companies build cigars by pressing the binder and filler and then wrapping the wrapper. But the savvy Swiss at Davidoff wrap each piece individually, meaning you’ll get a better draw of the smooth, full-bodied taste. And it’s easier to smoke, so forget all that unnecessary huffing and puffing. The line comes in five sizes and features a Dominican binder and filler along with a Connecticut wrapper sun-grown in Ecuador. Bottom line? You’re looking at one fine cigar.

Celebrate a new client with your favorite cigar and this platinum dress cutter. Its integrated spring system perfects control of the self-sharpening double steel blades.

Price: $1995

Every cigar aficionado knows how you store your stogies is essential. Ashton prepares all the right ingredients: perfectly squared seams, cedar lining, and a magnetic humidification device that processes both distilled and tap water. As many as 26 weeks and 40 stages of polishing later, the Rolls-Royce of humidors is born. With five classic finishes in multiple sizes and special edition collections, you’ll be able to find one that matches your needs and the décor of your home. (Available at Up in Smoke.)
