Choosing cigars for a wedding doesn’t need to be complicated. You just want something guests can enjoy without slowing down the celebration. Before we get into our top picks, here are a few quick pointers to help you choose the right cigars for the big day:

• Pick mild or mild-medium cigars so everyone, including casual smokers, can enjoy them
• Aim for sizes that burn for thirty to fifty minutes, such as Robustos and Coronas
• Bring the basics with you: a cutter and a butane lighter

Whether you’re stocking a cigar table or handing out a few sticks to the wedding party, you'll know exactly what you need to make the moment even more enjoyable. Now, let’s take a look at the cigars that work best for weddings.

At the end, we’ve included a few helpful resources in case you want to be extra prepared!

1. Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real Robusto

Shape: Robusto
Size: 5 x 52
Strength: Mild - Medium
Color: Colorado Claro
Binder / Filler: Nicaragua / Dominican Republic, Nicaragua
Wrapper Type: Ecuadorian Connecticut
Smoking Time: 40 - 50 Minutes

A reliable classic that always gets nods of approval. The Reserva Real wraps its Dominican and Nicaraguan blend in a smooth Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, giving it an inviting profile right from the first puff. You’ll taste cream, soft cedar, a touch of sweetness, and a hint of spice that feels warm rather than sharp. It is the kind of cigar guests pick up, enjoy, and remember for the right reasons.

2. Montecristo White Label Especial No.3 Corona

Shape: Corona
Size: 5 1/2 x 44
Strength: Mild - Medium
Color: Colorado Claro

The White Label has an elegant feel to it, especially in this slim corona size. It burns slowly and evenly, opening with cream and light vanilla before drifting into gentle wood notes. Nothing about it is loud, yet the flavor stays refined the whole way through. It’s the kind of cigar people enjoy while mingling or taking a quiet moment outside between photos.

3. My Father Connecticut Robusto

Shape: Robusto
Size: 5 1/4 x 52
Strength: Mild - Medium

This is a Connecticut with a little backbone behind it. My Father softens the edges just enough while still letting the blend show off some character. Flavors move through cream, toasted nuts, and a mild pepper that wakes things up without overpowering anyone. It fits a wedding perfectly because it feels special without being too strong for casual guests.

Shape: Robusto

AJ Fernandez gives the Connecticut style a subtle lift with a richer base underneath. The San Andres binder adds a faint earthiness that plays nicely with the creamy body and light sweetness.
