Cigar themed or other cool chess sets?

[JHolmes763]

My wife for me a nice chess board for Christmas, but didn't pick out pieces so I could do that myself. Anyone have any suggestions? I haven't even started looking around yet.

Anything cigar themed out there? I'm a fan of the traditional wood pieces and shapes, in general. I probably wouldn't get a set based on people or armies, for example.

Thank you for any ideas.

The specs in Houston had a cool liquor themed one.
 

 
 
Also, There is a shop not far from me called Rick's Darts and Games and they have a lot of higher end wooden chess sets.

If you see anything you like then I could pick it up and mail it for you...not sure if he ships or not.

Thanks, Jake. He doesn't have a whole lot of pictures. Any chance he has or can get something like this?

That's a nice chess set. Honestly, if he could....I doubt he'd be able to compete with that price...

Yeah, I'm not familiar with the site selling it and the only other I saw it on was Alibaba out of China. Hesitant to buy, but maybe I'll just take the risk.

Thanks for the offer. I'm still open to any other ideas.
