Cast Off, Light Up: Your New Favorite Fishing Companion

Surf fishing is one of life’s finest forms of relaxation — the perfect excuse to light a cigar and let your thoughts drift with the tide.

But surf catching? That’s a whole different story.

One moment, you’re lost in seaside serenity, cigar in hand, the ocean’s lullaby in your ears. The next, your line snaps tight, reel screaming, and you’re jolted to action. You toss the cigar aside, adrenaline rushing, and enter that timeless tug-of-war with whatever beast the deep has offered up. It’s not just fishing anymore — it’s a battle, a dance, a moment of pure thrill.

That’s why it’s smart to bring the right cigars for the job. If you’re just fishing, treat yourself to the finest stick in your humidor. But if there’s a chance you’ll be catching, you’d better pack something short, satisfying, and sacrificial — something you won’t cry over if it ends up in the surf.

Villiger’s Habana FEU cigars have been the fisherman’s friend for over 100-years. The cigar offers connoisseurs a mild and harmonious taste with a sweet and soft aroma. They are produced with a high-quality, medium bodied tobacco blend from Latin American and Indonesia, wrapped in premium Ecuadorian leaf.

Habana FEU’s come in boxes of five paper wrapped 4 x 44 pre cut cigars — all you need is a good lighter — and are value priced, making them great for fishing, dog walking, golf or just sitting quietly smoking a cigar and sipping a fine aged Scotch as you banish the stresses of your day from your mind.
