TOP 5 Accessories Every Golfer NeedsMACANUDO'S GUIDE TO TOP GOLF ACCESSORIES


Golf and cigars are a timeless pairing. But smoking cigars on the golf course isn’t just about what cigar you’re lighting, but ensuring you have a great time on the course. The best golf cigars deserve the best setup, and that means coming prepared with the right tools to protect your cigars, respect your playing partners, and have a great round.

Five Best Accessories for Smoking Cigars on the Golf Course

Here are five must-have accessories that make your golf cigars the perfect complement to your round. 

one

One A Travel Humidor

If you just toss a cigar or two into your golf bag, you’re asking for trouble. They often get cracked, smushed or knocked around between clubs and gear. Even if they survive the round intact, the lack of humidity will dry them out fast, which leads to a poor burn and a wasted cigar.

A good travel humidor solves all of that. Compact, durable and designed to maintain proper humidity, it keeps your cigars fresh from the cigar shop on to the 19th hole. Better yet, most travel humidors carry more than just one or two cigars, so you’re ready when your playing partners ask for a cigar of their own.

Really any travel humidor with a durable shell and built-in humidity regulation will do, but if you want a recommendation, we like this one from Xikar.

Two A Quad Torch Butane Lighter

Wind and wide open fairways don’t mix well with matches or cheap lighters. A reliable quad torch lighter ensures a consistent burn and even light no matter the weather. For golfers who enjoy smoking cigars on the course, a butane lighter is essential. Here’s one we like that doesn’t break the bank.

Three A Reliable Cigar Cutter

Every great cigar starts with a clean cut. In a pinch, pinching or biting off the cap will technically work, but often ruins the cigar before you even light it.  A sharp, consistent cutter ensures your draw is smooth. It’s a small tool, but essential for enjoying the best cigars on the golf course without frustration. We really like a guillotine cutter, like this one.

Four Magnetic Divot Tool and Cigar Holder

Good golf and cigar etiquette go hand in hand. A magnetic divot tool with a built-in cigar holder keeps your cigar off the grass (seriously, have you seen the chemicals they put on golf courses? You don’t want to be smoking that), and off the seat or cupholder of your cart. Plus, it still works as a divot tool for when you nail that approach shot.

It’s a clever solution for golfers to keep in their bag and is well worth the small investment. If you don’t want to pay for one at all, we sometimes give these away on our Instagram.

Five Extra Cigars

Here’s the truth: the best accessory for the course might just be more cigars. When one person breaks out a cigar, everyone else usually wants in. Bringing some extras to share is a simple and easy way to elevate your round, not just for you, but for the entire foursome. Both golf and cigars are all about the community, so don’t hesitate to pick up a few extra to spread the love. If you need ideas for what cigars to get, you can read our guide on the Best Cigars for Golf to stock up on cigars for every round.

Round In Review

A great round isn’t just about the scorecard,  it’s about the little details that make it memorable. With the right accessories, your cigars stay fresh, your smoke stays lit and your group stays happy. Cigars and golf aren’t just a pastime, they’re a tradition worth savoring.
