Weekly Interesting Cigar Facts

Cigars Were Once Sold in Vending Machines

Back in the day, grabbing a cigar was as easy as buying a soda. In the early to mid-1900s, cigars were commonly sold in vending machines across the U.S. You’d pop in a few coins, pull a lever, and out came a freshly wrapped stogie—ready to smoke.

These machines were found in bars, hotels, train stations, and even office buildings, making cigars super accessible for the average smoker. Some high-end versions even had humidified compartments to keep the cigars fresh—pretty advanced for the time!

Eventually, these machines faded out due to regulations on tobacco sales and shifts in smoking culture. But if you ever stumble across one of these vintage beauties, know you’ve found a true piece of cigar history.

🔥 Would you use a cigar vending machine today? Let me know your thoughts!
