College football tailgate parties are a time-honored tradition, bringing together fans, food, and festive vibes in parking lots across the country. Whether you’re grilling burgers, tossing a football, or chanting your team’s fight song, there’s no better way to elevate your tailgate experience than with Oscar Triumph Cigars. Here’s why our premium cigars are a must-have for your next game-day celebration.
A Tradition of Victory and Celebration
Tailgating is all about camaraderie, passion, and celebrating your team’s spirit, and nothing complements that atmosphere quite like a fine cigar. Inspired by iconic traditions like the Alabama-Tennessee rivalry—known as “The Cigar Game,” where winners light up victory cigars on the field—Oscar Triumph Cigars bring that same sense of triumph and festivity to your tailgate. Our cigars embody the thrill of victory, making them the perfect choice for fans looking to create unforgettable game-day memories.
Premium Quality for Every Fan
At Oscar Triumph Cigars, we craft our cigars with the same passion that fans bring to their tailgates. Each cigar is made with high-quality blends, offering rich, bold flavors for seasoned smokers and smooth, approachable options for those new to cigars. Much like the diverse spreads at a tailgate—think Cajun gumbo at LSU or BBQ ribs at Texas—our cigars cater to a variety of palates. We recommend bringing a selection, such as our full-bodied Oscar Triumph Toro for aficionados and a milder Oscar Triumph Connecticut for casual smokers, ensuring everyone at your tailgate can join in the fun.
Perfect for the Tailgate Vibe
Tailgating is about slowing down, savoring the moment, and connecting with friends and fellow fans. A cigar from Oscar Triumph fits right into this laid-back yet electric atmosphere. With hours to spend before kickoff, a larger cigar like our 6-inch Toro offers a leisurely smoke that pairs perfectly with a cold beer, grilled meats, or lively game-day debates. As one tailgater put it, “Having a cigar at a tailgate takes the entire party to another level.” With Oscar Triumph Cigars, you’re not just smoking—you’re enhancing the experience.
Easy to Share, Easy to Store
Tailgates are all about sharing—whether it’s food, drinks, or team pride. Oscar Triumph Cigars are perfect for passing around to friends and even rival fans to spark friendly banter. Our cigars are packaged to stay fresh, and we recommend bringing a travel humidor to keep them in top condition during the tailgate. Pro tip: Keep a hand warmer near your lighter in cooler weather to ensure it’s ready to go, a trick veteran tailgaters swear by
Inspired by College Football’s Smokiest Rivalry
Our brand draws inspiration from the legendary Alabama-Tennessee “Third Saturday in October” tradition, where cigars have been a symbol of victory since 1961. Whether you’re a Crimson Tide fan, a Volunteer, or cheering for another team, Oscar Triumph Cigars capture that same spirit of celebration. Light up an Oscar Triumph to mark a big win or simply to soak in the game-day excitement, just like fans do in Knoxville or Tuscaloosa.
Tips for Incorporating Oscar Triumph Cigars into Your Tailgate
Bring Variety: Offer a mix of Oscar Triumph Cigars, like our robust Toro and smoother Connecticut blend, to suit different tastes.
Pair with the Menu: Match your cigars with tailgate staples. A bold Oscar Triumph pairs perfectly with smoky BBQ, while a milder option complements lighter fare like coleslaw or wings.
Create a Cigar Station: Set up a dedicated area with cigars, cutters, and lighters to make it easy for guests to enjoy. Consider partnering with a mobile cigar lounge like The Smoking Aces for a premium experience.
Respect the Rules: Check stadium policies, as some campuses, like the University of Tennessee, are tobacco-free. Enjoy your cigars in permitted tailgate areas to avoid any issues.
Join the Tailgate Tradition with Oscar Triumph
From the sea of purple and gold at LSU to the vibrant maize and blue at Michigan, tailgate parties are where memories are made. Oscar Triumph Cigars add a touch of sophistication and tradition to these gatherings, turning your pre-game celebration into something truly special. Whether you’re hosting a small group of friends or joining a massive parking lot party, our cigars are the ultimate game-day accessory.
