The Ultimate College Cigar Gift Guide

A premium cigar is one of the most memorable gifts you can give a fan, an alumnus, a groomsman, or a dad who has everything. Because every Bocock Brothers cigar is officially licensed by the recipient's school, it doubles as collegiate memorabilia. Here is how to choose the right gift for the occasion and the person.

By occasion

Graduation: mark the milestone with a 20 count box in the graduate's school colors, or a Variety 5 Pack if they are new to cigars. Father's Day: pair a box with a matching lighter and cutter for a complete set. Groomsmen: a 5 Pack or a lighter with a spring V cutter is a practical, shareable gift. Game day and tailgates: a 5 Pack travels well and is easy to share. Championships and retirements: a commemorative or collector's box is the standout keepsake.

By fan and smoker type

The new smoker: a Connecticut wrapper or a Variety 5 Pack. The seasoned smoker: a Habano, Corojo, or Maduro box. The collector: a limited edition or championship box that looks good on a shelf long after the last cigar. The fan who has everything: a handmade pewter ashtray or an officially licensed lighter.

Shop by school

Every school in the Collegiate Series has its own boxes, samplers, and accessories in team colors. Not sure on flavor? Read the cigar wrapper guide, or start with a Variety 5 Pack.
