Thanksgiving and Christmas offer people a great time to travel, spend time with family, and take a brief break from the normal rhythm of life. But the season can also increase stress for millions of people as they try to plan the perfect holiday and buy the best gifts.
A study from the American Psychiatric Association released on November 18 found that Americans are growing more stressed about the holidays. According to the study, 41% of U.S. adults are experiencing more stress related to the holidays this year than they did last year year. Forty-eight percent of those experiencing stress around the holidays linked their stress to grieving a lost loved one. Following close behind that reason was stress about affording holiday gifts (46%).
The American Psychiatric Association’s 2025 study was the fifth straight year that the group looked into holiday stress, and in each study, it has found that people stress the most about affording gifts and holiday meals.
It’s a sad truth that Americans are often the most anxious when we’re supposed to be celebrating and enjoying time with loved ones. But there’s one ritual that could remind you to slow down, relax, and enjoy each holiday moment this year: a relaxing evening with a cigar.
That’s where Mayflower Cigars comes in. At Mayflower, we know your Thanksgiving and Christmas season can get crazy, and we also know how important it is for you to take a deep breath and get some relaxation.
Whether you reach for the Mayflower Dawn, with its elegant notes of wood, coffee, and cream — a graceful companion for morning light and long conversations… or the Mayflower Dusk, rich with cocoa, espresso, and black pepper — a bolder blend for nights by the fire… or perhaps the Mayflower Dream, a double-maduro that speaks with soft, lingering notes of chicory, cardamom, oak, and a hint of caramel — a cigar made not just for the moment, but for memory — each Mayflower cigar is more than a smoke. It’s a pause. A breath. A return to tradition.
Looking to explore, savor, and share all three? Enjoy the new Mayflower Trinity 8-Cigar Assortment — perfect for gathering and gifting alike.
This season, amid the clamor and chaos, may your finest moments be the quiet ones — anchored by family, elevated by friendship, and accompanied by a cigar worthy of the occasion.
