What we are actually talking about
Not a branded pen.
A piece with a serial number.
These are photographed in our building, from stock we hold. Arturo Fuente OpusX, S.T. Dupont, Brizard and Co, Maccarrone, Elie Bleu, El Septimo. The names your recipient already knows, and a few they will be surprised you found.
Why a cigar house and not a promo catalogue
A gift is remembered for what it is, not what it cost
Branded pens get a drawer. A cigar case gets carried, a lighter gets used every week, a humidor sits on a desk for twenty years with a name cut into the lid. We build the gift around the object first, then put your mark on it.
We hold the inventory
Around 998 products across roughly 390 collections, including one of the deepest El Septimo selections anywhere. No drop shipping, no waiting on a distributor.
Engraving is ours
The laser sits in our building. That is why we hold a 2 to 3 week turnaround, and why we can put a physical proof in your hand before we cut two hundred pieces.
Authorized, not grey market
Authorized dealer for every brand we stock, and the official US distributor of Maccarrone jointly with Brizard and Co.
One point of contact
You speak to the person building the order. Mixed tiers on one purchase order, split shipping to any number of offices, a single invoice.
The engraving
Your mark, cut into metal
We laser engrave the face plate, the side spine, or both. Fine line logos, wordmarks, a recipient name, a date, a short message. Artwork comes in as vector, we return a photographed proof, and nothing goes into production until you sign it off.
On the lighters we favour for gifting, the face carries a brushed panel for a crest, and the spine takes a company name in clean capitals. The result reads as a made object, not a badged one.
Engraving availability depends on the item. Some finishes and exotic skins cannot be engraved. We confirm on the specific piece before you commit.
The four tiers
Pick the tier. We build the package.
Every tier is a vessel, plus cigars, plus your engraving. Bands are per gift, before tax and shipping, and they move with the pieces you choose. Where a piece is discounted we show the list price and ours.

Four houses, one object
Les Chaines de l'Amour
S.T. Dupont, Brizard and Co, and Maccarrone, made for Arturo Fuente and carrying the OpusX crest. Burl walnut and tulipwood marquetry, 24k gold inlay, ostrich cases numbered by hand, embroidered velvet pouches. Ninety nine lighters were made.
The lighter
A collector's edition of ninety nine. The first S.T. Dupont lighter to carry handcrafted fine marquetry in burl walnut and tulipwood, with a 24k gold OpusX crest. Supplied with the embroidered pouch, certificate and numbered plate.
Approximately $6,500Per piece, to the customer
Tier IV · The Vault
Arturo Fuente OpusX, presented
Ostrich over lacquer, marquetry crests, gold chain inlay, Spanish cedar inside. Filled with limited and hard allocation Fuente cigars. The green tower was a one of one. The other colourways we can order.
One of one
The green tower
Green ostrich over a tower body, burl marquetry OpusX crest, gold chain inlay and brass feet, with a matching three cigar case and lighter sitting on the lid. This piece was made once. We can order the other colourways.
An OpusX presentation humidor filled with limited and hard allocation Fuente cigars runs about $12,500, depending on the release and what goes inside it. We do not hold one on the shelf. We source it, and that takes a conversation and lead time well beyond our standard window.
Arturo Fuente
OpusX, and the presentation humidors built around it. The hardest allocation in the room.
S.T. Dupont
Lacquer, marquetry and the sound of the lid. Art panel lighters and the Chaines edition.
Brizard and Co
Ostrich, caiman, exotic wood. Travel cases and humidors in more colourways than anyone.
Maccarrone
Fine craftsmanship humidors, marquetry as painting. We are the official US distributor.
Elie Bleu
The reference humidor. Limited editions that arrive full and never run twice.
El Septimo
Our flagship. 229 SKUs deep, so a repeat order is a phone call, not a hunt.
Maccarrone · Italian fine craftsmanship
Marquetry, treated as painting
Every panel is inlaid wood, not print. Venice, the Colosseum, a Venetian mask, a night sky. If your recipient has a city, a building or a livery that means something, this is where a commission starts.
Maccarrone desktop humidors in our current range run from $2,795 to $9,620. Commissioned panels are quoted individually.
Brizard and Co
Match the leather to the brand
Ostrich, caiman, calf, croco, lizard, rosewood, zebrawood, Macassar ebony. Travel cases, Havana Travelers, desk stands and humidors, in a colour range wide enough that we can usually land inside your palette rather than near it.
Havana Travelers run $550 to $3,200 depending on the skin. Show Band 5 cases from $220. Show Band 3 from $150.
The desk and the travel case
What stays on the desk after the box is opened
A humidor is the gesture. The ashtray, the cutter, the table lighter and the case are what the recipient actually touches every week, and they are where a mark lands best. We build these into Tier I and Tier II, and we add them to the upper tiers as the pieces that carry the logo on a desk your client sits at every day.
The full desk set, in one box
Table lighter, double blade cutter, ceramic ashtray and a standing cigar rest, finished in jade lacquer and gold. It presents as one object rather than four accessories, which is what makes it read as a gift and not a goodie bag. The ashtray face and the cutter body both take engraving.
Cases
Two and three cigar cases, in a colour you choose
Woven calf and smooth leather over a cedar lining, with a gold shield on the face. Orange, black, navy, oxblood and painted art panels. At Tier I this is the whole gift with three cigars inside. At Tier II it travels alongside the lighter. Each one ships in its own presentation box, so a hundred of them arrive ready to hand out rather than ready to be repacked.
Travel
Leather travel humidors that hold humidity
Cedar lined, sealed, with a hygrometer set into the lid and a humidifier in the cap. Four to eight cigars depending on the body. These are the pieces that get used on a plane and at a client dinner, which is the whole point of putting a company mark on one.
The table lighter
A weighted brass body with twin jets, the piece that sits out on a boardroom table rather than in a pocket. The flat face is the largest engraving area of anything in this section.
Desk sets, cases, travel humidors and bags in this section are sourced to order rather than held in stock, so pricing is quoted against the finish, the engraving and the quantity you need. Lead time runs longer than our stocked pieces. Ask us early if you are working to an event date.
El Septimo × S.T. Dupont
The art panel lighters
Hand lacquered panels on the Ligne 2 body, in palladium, gold and rose gold. Napoleonic battle scenes, Emperor Alexander, a samurai, Van Gogh's Cafe Terrace at Night reworked as the El Septimo Cafe. Matching rollerball pens exist for the recipient who does not smoke.
A Tier III gift on its own
Twelve pieces across the lighters and the pens, all at the same price. Engraving goes on the base or the reverse. Presented in the Dupont box.
$1,890$1,606.50List price and ours, per piece
Choosing the cigars
The cigars scale with the tier
A gift fails when the vessel outclasses what is inside it. We match the collection to the budget so the two read as one object. El Septimo leads our selection because we can guarantee depth and consistency on a repeat order, and we also build from Davidoff, Atabey, Alfonso, Oliva, Ashton, E.P. Carrillo and the rest of the cigar range.
| Collection | Per cigar | Character | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Culinary | $13.50 to $21.00 | Built around wine and sake regions. An easy first cigar. | Tier I |
| Sacred Arts | $17.00 to $38.00 | Named for the masters. Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Van Gogh. A gift that explains itself. | Tier I and II |
| Luxus | $18.00 to $51.50 | The everyday flagship. Broad format range, reliable across a mixed recipient list. | Tier II and III |
| Zaya | $23.00 to $119.00 | The top of the house, including the 20th Anniversary Doble Gran Reserva. | Tier III and IV |
Per cigar pricing is the live single stick price on the date of publication. Box and multi pack pricing is lower per cigar and is what we quote on volume.
Your own box
We build the box, then fill it with the cigars you choose
The most complete version of a corporate gift is not a piece we already stock. It is a box made for you: your name on the lid, your artwork on the paper, your cigars inside, in a count and a blend you pick. It arrives looking like a house release rather than a corporate order, and it is the one gift a recipient keeps on a shelf instead of in a drawer.
The lid is the canvas
Lacquer in your colour, gold foil across the full lid, your crest or wordmark set in the centre, and an engraved plate on the front edge for a name, a date or an edition number. The photographs here show a run we produced numbered 009 of 500. Yours can be numbered the same way, or carry a single recipient's name on every box.
Everything inside is yours too
Spanish cedar throughout, a brass hygrometer set into the lid, a fitted tray with a divider for every cigar so nothing moves in transit, printed tissue over the top layer, and a card that tells whatever story you want told. Companies use that card for a founder's note, an anniversary, or a line about the deal being closed. A rigid outer sleeve goes over the whole thing so it survives a courier and still opens like a gift.
What it costs
Pricing moves on three things: the cigars you choose, how many boxes you need, and which box you pick. The box photographed here is a box humidor. Empty, at a run of ten, it works out around $60 each. Boxes start at ten units. Add the cigars from the ladder above and you have your number, which is why we quote rather than list.
About $60Per box humidor, empty, at a run of ten
Send us the count, the budget per box and your logo files and we come back with a quote and a mock up. Custom boxes are made to order, so build them into the calendar earlier than a stocked gift.
By commission

How it works
Five steps, two to three weeks
Minimum order is 25 units. Below that we are glad to help, it is simply not a corporate programme and the engraving economics change.
Brief
Headcount, budget per gift, the occasion, the deadline. Ten minutes on the phone is usually enough.
Proposal
Two or three build options at your number, with real pieces and a firm total.
Proof
Send vector artwork. We engrave a sample and photograph it. Nothing runs until you approve it.
Build
Engraving, cigar selection, boxing and cards. Two to three weeks from artwork approval.
Deliver
One address or many. Hand delivery across Los Angeles, insured shipping nationwide.
Rush work is sometimes possible and depends on the engraving queue and stock. Ask, do not assume. Cigars ship within the United States only, and to states where we are permitted to ship. Commissioned and single allocation pieces take considerably longer.
What companies use this for
The moments that earn a real gift
Client and closing gifts
Private equity, law, real estate, brokerage. The gift arrives after the signature and stays on the desk long after the deal is filed.
Employee milestones
Promotions, ten year anniversaries, retirements. An engraved piece with a name and a date reads as recognition, not inventory.
Conferences and events
Tiered giveaways for a room of two hundred, with a heavier build for the speakers and the top table. One order, one invoice.
Board and executive gifts
A humidor for the office, filled and installed, with a brass plate carrying the company mark.
Holiday programmes
Planned in October, delivered in December. We hold stock against your list so nothing goes out of stock mid programme.
Venue and hospitality
Hotels, clubs and restaurants building a cigar offer for guests. Ask about wholesale terms rather than the gifting programme.
Questions we get asked first
Corporate gifting, answered
What is the minimum order?
Twenty five units. Mixed tiers count toward the same minimum, so 15 Tier I gifts and 10 Tier III gifts meets it on one purchase order.
How long does it take?
Two to three weeks from the moment you approve the engraving proof. Send artwork early and the clock starts sooner. Commissioned and single allocation pieces take considerably longer.
Can you engrave our logo, or only text?
Both. Send vector artwork as AI, EPS, SVG or PDF and we engrave the mark itself. Very fine hairlines can close up at small sizes, which is exactly what the physical proof is for.
Can we put the logo on the cigar band?
Custom cigar bands are a manufacturer level request with their own minimums and lead times, separate from our engraving programme. Tell us what you have in mind and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth doing.
Are the limited editions really available?
Numbered and single allocation pieces are subject to availability on the day, and some are one of one. We confirm the exact piece and the exact number before you commit to anything.
Can you ship to our employees individually?
Yes. Send a spreadsheet of names and addresses and we ship to each one, with a personalised card per recipient. Cigars ship within the United States only, and only to states where we are permitted to ship. Every delivery requires an adult signature.
Can we mix tiers in one order?
Yes, and most programmes do. A common pattern is Tier I for the wider team, Tier II for managers and Tier III or IV for the top ten accounts, all on one invoice.
What if some recipients do not smoke?
Every tier can be built as accessories only, with no tobacco. A lighter, a cutter, a leather case, a rollerball pen or an ashtray still carries your engraving and still lands. Tell us the split and we build both versions.
Do you offer terms or invoicing?
For established corporate accounts we can invoice. Speak to us before the first order so we can set it up.
Why do some prices show two figures?
Where a piece is discounted we show the list price struck through and the Cigar Inc. price beside it. Both are live figures from our own catalogue on the date of publication.
For adults 21+. All cigar orders require age verification and an adult signature on delivery.
