From Tee to Clubhouse: The Best Cigars for Your Golf Game

For many golfers, enjoying a fine cigar out on the fairways is as much a part of the game as dropping a birdie putt. A well-chosen, premium cigar enhances the smoking experience, adding a layer of relaxation, sophistication and heavenly aroma to each round, but what makes a cigar ideal for the golf course?

First off, a great golf cigar should last for at least 18 holes without overwhelming your senses. It should also be easy to light and offer a steady burn with flawless construction, letting you focus on your game rather than constantly relighting. Finally, it should complement the leisurely pace of your game, providing a smooth yet flavorful experience from the opening tee shot to your final putt.

FOR THE GOLF COURSE

Oettinger Davidoff, the family-owned company behind Switzerland-based Davidoff Cigars, offers a number of cigars that perfectly accompany your game — whatever your preference. If you’re seeking a cigar that seemingly lasts all day, then consider the Davidoff Aniversario Double «R» — a long, elegant double corona with a medium-intense balanced profile. Maybe you like something mild and creamy, with excellent combustion — ideal for a stress-free round — such as the Davidoff Signature Toro. If you want a cigar with a refined and gentle complexity that pairs gracefully with a relaxed game, try the Davidoff Grand Cru Toro. For those who want to enhance the meditative nature of their golf experience, the AVO Classic No. 2 offers a mellow, smooth toro with a hint of creaminess. Finally, if you prefer a cigar with a consistent burn, satisfying draw, and great value, then the slightly bolder but still approachable Camacho Connecticut Toro will deliver.

FOR THE CLUBHOUSE

After you step off 18, other, more-robust choices may be better suited to post-round score settling. “For the clubhouse, I would recommend something a little more intense, like the Davidoff Millennium Piramides that subtly blends the tastes of licorice, dark chocolate and oak wood, or Winston Churchill «The Original Series» Churchill with its creamy undertones of spices and black coffee,” says Sam Reuter, Oettinger Davidoff’s Head of Product Innovation and an avid golfer himself. “We service some of the finest golf courses in the country, so look for these cigars to celebrate your round in style.”
