You may not drive one, but you can light one. Dedicated smokers can really do no better the Tonino Lamborghini Cigar Lighters & Cutter ($150-$175). They're as precision engineered as the cars, and equally as sexy. Our favorite, the Forza lighter (left), has a push button ignition styled after the car's ignition button.

XIKAR's Havana Collection

I believe that XIKAR's Havana Collection has to be the most beautiful collection of cigar accessories out there today. It mixes the wonderful charm of old school Havana with it's collage work with it's sleak modern lines.

The Havana Collection Envoy cigar case is the perfect compliment to XIKAR’s popular Xi3 Havana Collection Cutter & EXII Havana Collection Lighter.

The Havana Envoy 3 cigar case boldly boasts a Havana Collection themed cap made of the finest cigar band reproduction art available. The case also adorns dark brown top-grain, padded armada leather to give a well-dressed appearance and a soft feel. Subdued stitching secures the leather from top to bottom, giving the case a classic look. The inner lining of the crush-proof case, crafted with genuine Spanish cedar, holds the ambient humidity of the cigar and projects the fresh cedar smell of a humidor on every opening.

Each Envoy cigar case holds up to three 52-ring gauge or two 54-ring gauge, Churchill-length cigars, keeping any smoke safe with a modern style all its own.

The new Triple Jet Table Top lighters feature beautiful finishes on metal casing. Each lighter uses a squeeze ignition with an inversion safety and can be adjusted with a large fuel adjustment wheel.


XIKAR’s Havana Collection cutters fuses XIKAR’s innovative, industry leading Xi3 cutter with original art from Paris, to achieve the classic ambience of the Havana cigar.

To create each unique , mixed media decoupage art piece, the Parisian artist begins by fashioning handles of French maple wood to fit the Xi3 body. He then hand paints the handles in one of five vibrant colors, including green, yellow, red, blue and black.

Once the base is complete, the artist individually cuts or tears pieces of actual cigar bands, then meticulously arranges the cut cigar band pieces in place with tweezers. By varying each collage pattern, he gives each cutter a one of a kind Havana Collection signature.

When the artist completes the collage, he seals the cutter’s beauty forever with several coats of clear varnish. To ensure a smooth and comfortable grip, he lightly sands and polishes the handles before attaching them to the Xi3 cutter body.

When the process is complete, the Havana Collection cutter by XIKAR is more than the best cigar cutter money can buy. It is a handmade, piece of art that liberates the spirit of the quintessential cigar city, Havana. A genuine, exotic Stingray leather sheath elegantly protects the cutter for a lifetime.

The Art Of Manliness

Today I happened to come across a wonderful website called "The Art of Manliness". The Art of Manliness is authored by husband and wife team, Brett and Kate McKay. It features articles on helping men be better husbands, better fathers, and better men. They search search to uncover the lost art of manliness, and look to the past to find examples of manliness in action. They analyze the lives of great men who knew what it meant to “man up” and hopefully learn from them and talk about the skills, manners, and principles that every man should know. The also have a great article about how to choose a cigar that's worth checking out.
