Closing a business deal is an amazing feeling and is certainly a cause for celebration, especially if the deal was hard-fought and took a lot of time to put together. There are many ways for those involved to celebrate, but perhaps none so classic as the smoking of cigars. Take a look at why smoking cigars can be a way to celebrate the close of your next business deal.
Classic Celebration
Cigars have been used for many years to celebrate a large number of things, including the birth of a child, marriage, and the closing of an important business deal. This makes them a classic celebration that has been used in various cultures all around the world. It is believed that cigars were invented by the Mayans in the 10th century, and when Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas in 1492, cigars were smoked by the indigenous populations, and they quickly became popular with the sailors.
It is not known definitively when cigars were first used as a celebratory item, but the tradition dates back at least a couple hundred years. It may date back to Columbus’ time, as the tobacco taken back to Spain was used to make cigars, which became a symbol of wealth. Today, they are all available to everyone with something to celebrate.
Symbolism
Cigars exchanged in celebration are a great symbol of the work you’ve all accomplished together. Traditionally, they represent achievement, success, and joy. Business associates who don’t smoke cigars for various reasons will still likely appreciate the symbolism behind the gesture, and if anyone is hesitant, you can remind them that they aren’t required to smoke it if they’d prefer to abstain.
They can keep it as a remembrance of the deal they worked hard to achieve or, if they’d rather not have it around the office or their home, are free to re-gift it to one of their friends or family members in the same way when it’s time to celebrate something else.
A Memorable Experience
Cigars can create a memorable experience when given as a gift, especially when used to celebrate the close of a business deal. Whether you all smoke them together or, more commonly, enjoy them in your own time, you and everyone else involved are sure to remember the experience of enjoying that rich, full cigar taste. Your unpleasant memories of working long hours negotiating the deal will soon be replaced by feelings of success and accomplishment as you smoke the cigar that represents the fruits of your labors.
These are just three of the many reasons to celebrate closing a business deal with cigars. No matter whether you choose a larger size like a Toro Grande or a Churchill or a smaller choice like a Toro or a Robusto, everyone involved with the deal will no doubt appreciate the gesture. May each cigar be a symbol of the great business deal you have all crafted together! Choose your cigar and be ready to celebrate!
