This tradition dates back to the end of the 17th century when cigars were treasured because of their rareness and unavailability. Because of the preciousness of cigars in a household, the giving away of a cigar was considered to be a reflection of deep gratitude.
Therefore , to honor the birth of a child, and specifically a son , a cigar was given , by those who could afford this gesture, to the friends of the family in celebration of the blessed event. The father would come out and let everyone know it was time to have a cigar. During this time-frame the arrival of a son was especially important because of that child's value to the father and to the village as a whole.
