I got this as a b-day gift but I think it’d make a great groomsman gift as well.
An inexpensive humidor and a starter cigar. A small basic humidor can be purchased for around 30 dollars and will hold around 8 cigars. Pick up a medium quality cigar for each and include it inside.
It’s one of those gifts that I’d have never thought about buying for myself but once I got it realized how absolutely cool it was!
Of course, now I’m passionate about cigars and am looking for a new full-featured humidor to replace the small desk-top one!
If you go with the Leatherman idea (and a very good idea it is, too), one piece of advice: Make sure someone have some band-aids around. Those knives are SHARP, and when someone asks to see those nice gifts later in the evening, blood might flow.
Or perhaps American weddings are more sober affairs than Danish ones ?
Cigar accessories are another great idea - stylish cutters or those protective holders that’ll keep a cigar from coming to damage in a pocket ( I saw one combined with a flask - cool!).
Well, a good currycomb is gernerally apreciated…Oh, you mean that kind of Groomsman.
Well, I’d say that the Leatherman’s are an excellent choice as well. With men of the nature you mentioned, tools are always the right choice.
You might also want to look into one of those creditcard sized ultra compact utility tools. They fit into a wallet, and thus are a bit more discreet to carry around.
Well, there will be a large Irish contingent at this wedding…
Have you or anyone else out there ever used the credit card tools? I have seen them and been intrigued but generally disregarded them as “It couldn’t actually be that useful if it fits in your wallet like a credit card.”
So far the votes are heavily in favor of Leatherman tools. Is the Buck tool any good or how about the Gerber versions.
Or is Leatherman still the King?
Several people have already mentioned the Leatherman, but I thought I’d cast my vote for the Gerber Multi-Plier. It’s a Leatherman-type thing, with pliers and multiple other tools in it, but I feel that it’s a better setup and easier to use.
Or you could go with a smaller pocketknife (nice’n’manly) like the CRKT (Columbia River Knife and Tool) KISS. Appropriately named, small enough to carry every day, big enough to be useful, and distinctive. Or, if you’re into shelling out the dough, CRKT has another knife I want called the S-2. Retail is about $150, though.
Any more suggestions for the rest of the guys?
