I may be wrong but I'd be very surprised if this still happens today. There will definitely not be any cigars when our bubs is born! DH may be fanging for a cold beer (or possibly something a bit harder) but a cigar wouldn't even cross his mind.

If it were something we were interested in, DH would maybe do so at the pub if and when he chooses to wet the babies head with his mates. I'm sure my DH and our friends and family will be more than happy with a cold, tasty beverage though.
