The Best Ballgame Cigars

For sports lovers, fall is the most exciting time of the year. Football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and hockey are all in action, so if you enjoy having a cigar during a ballgame, there is no shortage of excellent occasions to choose from. Enough chit-chat, though, let’s get to the best ballgame cigars for any tailgate or watch party on the horizon.

J.C. Newman Tampa Smokers

The oldest family-owned premium cigar company in the USA, J.C. Newman, has a history of releasing cigars tied to American traditions. Two years ago, they launched a baseball-centric cigar called the Tampa Smokers. The line pays tribute to the Florida city’s historic minor league team and namesake, which recently celebrated its 70th anniversary. If you can find this cigar at your local smoke shop, grab some before the baseball season ends!

Big Papi by David Ortiz

How could we exclude a cigar made in collaboration with Red Sox legend and Baseball Hall of Famer David Ortiz? If cigars could go to bat, we’re sure this one would have a record as impressive as its creator. The Ecuadorian Habano Claro wrapper adds notes of chestnut and pepper, rounded out with an earthy and leathery finish.

Mr. Punch’s Cigar

Sports. Beer. And cigars. Mr. Punch’s Cigar pairs perfectly with all kinds of beer — in fact, pretty much every beer goes great with this robust and creamy cigar. Feeling bold? Get it in the Big Slapper (7 X 70) frontmark — enough cigar for the whole game plus overtime.

CAO Brazilia

The World Cup may be over, but international soccer never stops. CAO Brazilia is just as smooth, bold, and well-constructed as a counter-attacking goal. And, of course, it sports a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper. Give it a spin the next time you’re looking to mix things up.

La Flor Dominicana Special Football Edition

One of the most striking limited-editions, the La Flor Dominicana Special Football Cigar is usually released in the run-up to the Super Bowl, but you may be able to snag a few depending on availability. Regardless of when you smoke this during the season, rest assured it’s more than a novelty — it’s also a quality cigar loaded with Ecuadorian, USA, and Dominican tobacco.

Cohiba Serie M Reserva Plata

When you need a victory cigar, reach for Cohiba. The latest edition of the Serie M line — Reserva Plata — was crafted by Level 9 rollers at the famous El Titan de Bronze Factory in Miami. Not only is it beautifully made, but it’s also brimming with cocoa and hazelnut tasting notes.
