Ah - there's nothing quite like a cigar on a crisp winter evening.

Good thing there's now three locations of my favorite Tulsa-area cigar shop and bar, <a href="http://www.cigarboxtulsa.com/">The Cigar Box</a>, for all your smoking and scotch-drinking needs.

The original location at <a href="http://www.riverwalkcrossing.com/">RiverWalk Crossing in Jenks</a> grew to the point that last year, the two local families that own the store branched out to Stonewood in Broken Arrow - you know, the shopping complex where <a href="http://basspro.com/">Bass Pro</a> is located. Then this year, the families moved in on Cherry Street in midtown.

So basically, it's cigars for everyone, everywhere. 

While smoking a cigar by oneself on the back porch with a glass of something stiff is about the most peaceful thing one could do in this life, stogies are best enjoyed with others.

If you don't know anyone who smokes cigars, where's what you do: Buy 'em a gift set. Invite 'em outside and offer a light. Before long, you'll have your very own a cigar smoking buddy for those special occasions - a holiday party, New Years Eve or in the event of good news.

Not sure for what gift set to spring? Here are a few ideas:

Mmm...Macanudo.

Say it out loud. MACANUDO! Feels nice, doesn't it? This cigars are nice, too - mild and smooth, great for the occasional smoker.

MONTECRISTO! I just love how the cigar world is full of fun names.

See how mature blogging has made me?

There's no harm in giving the ultimate gift of manliness (or, in the case of us girls who enjoy a cigar from time to time, smokin' hot ladyness) this Christmas. That is, as long as the person for whom the cigars are intended doesn't take to them like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigar">Ulysses S. Grant or Sigmund Freud</a>. "For special occasions" doesn't exactly mean 12-20 of these babies per day.

That is, after all, what Christmas cookies are for - consumption in mass quantities, all inhibitions barred.
