Top gadgets for cigar enthusiasts:

#1. Cigar cutters

Cigar cutters are an essential smoking accessory, and come in several different types. They are used by knowledgable smokers to cut cigars in straight, punch, or v-cut styles for maximum enjoyment.

#2. Cigar ash trays

Different from regular ash trays, cigar ash trays are specially sized to accommodate cigars. High-end designs offer convenient features, such as a removable bin that catches the ashes for easy disposal.

#3. Lighters

For the best, and most pure flavor, cigars should be lit with a quality butane lighter. The most popular models are made from stainless steal, can be refilled, and are designed to be wind resistant.

#4. Cigar humidifiers

Used in humidors and cigar boxes, humidifiers keep cigars fresh and preserve flavor. Humidifiers are designed to accommodate varying amounts of cigars. The serious collector may need a device that can keep over a hundred cigars fresh for two years or longer.

#5. Hygrometers

While it is important to keep cigars moist, too much moisture can result in mold the spoils the quality of the cigar. A Hygrometer measure the moisture in the air, and can be installed in a humidor to ensure cigars are kept at the optimal humidity levels.

If you run a small company you will need quality promotional items.

These kinds of items are good marketing tools for your business because everyone likes to get something for free.

Why to offer them:

• they act as good reminders. Let’s say you received a key chain with my website logo and slogan. When you will watch at the key chain you will remember about my site. And also if you want to Visit Gadgets Club but you forgot the website you could just see it on your key chain.
• if they are used wisely promotional items can create a relationship.  You see every person has the need of feeling important and if you choose your promo gifts carefully you will say I care about you. To do that it is vital to make each receiver feel unique (it is best to offer personalized items and to get a different gift for each of your business partners). You can read here what others are saying about promo items.

What to offer – My favorites

To build this list I’ve used Paragon Promotional Items. You can get more detail about the devices on their website. If you want to learn more about the items see the faqs section.

#1. Rectangular Flashlight Key Chain

We use key chains every day. And sometimes we need light so having a flashlight on the key chain is a good idea.

#2. MP3 Player / Flash Drive

Flash drives were very cool gifts one year ago. Now every company I know gives away a flash drive.

But you can be different and stand out of the crowd. You can give your customers a Mp3 Player. They can use it to listen to music or like a regular external memory.

Anyhow they will see you business logo everytime they use the Mp3 player.

#.3 Travel Clock/ Picture Frame

This is a great promotional item for travelers. They will have a stopwatch with alarm functions, a callendar, a thermometer and folding travel photo frame with them all the time.

Your client will love you if you ask them if they travel a lot and after that you offer them the travel clock with digital frame.
