Celebrating Child Birth with Cigars

I remember when the eldest son of my uncle was born, he handed out ashton cigars to his friends when the baby finally came out. I was too naive at that time to understand what he was doing. I didn't know that it was customary for the new father to pass around cigars to family and friends. All along I thought it was just to ease out all the tension and stress brought about by the delivery of the baby. But now I know better. Thanks to the articles I found online. It helped expand my knowledge.
