Why Cigars?
The tradition of gifting cigars to commemorate the birth of a baby dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries with people living in North America and slowly worked its way south during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The presumption is that since fathers were not included in the birthing process, all they could do was wait around and smoke. Before hospitals, the wait would be in a separate room or out with friends. Upon confirmation that the babies were born, the father would pass special cigars to his friends to celebrate the momentous occasion. Even after hospitals, fathers still upheld the tradition of giving cigars to their friends to mark the event.
The tradition is still common today and handing out cigars to friends, family members and colleagues is still the classiest way to memorialize the arrival of a new baby.
