well... now at day's it's more common for Dad's to participate in the Birthroom, or even in the OR during a C-section at the hospital , but back in the days dad's use to wait outside in their houses and let mom do all the work on her own in one of the rooms of the house with the doctor or ... maybe she would be accompanied by her own mother or her mother in law... but men would wait outside... and since they were hanging out with probably their closed friends and relatives to celebrate the arrival of the new baby they would bring cigars to smoke meanwhile the birth was taking place, and it was a tradition to offer a cigar smoke to visitors in general ... & that's how the tradition began... :)

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.

* According to research it is difficult to trace where the tradition of handing out cigars after a baby was born. The elite (wealthy) smoked cigars for centuries: politicians, the wealthy families (even some women); and handing out cigars was also considered for engagements, weddings and not just for the birth of a baby. There are 'Cigar Clubs' because unlike cigarettes Cigars are considered to be similar to fine wines. Cuba has the best cigars according to statistics, but they have been banned in Canada at least. Wikipedia - Major U.S. print media portray cigars favorably; they generally frame cigar use as a lucrative business or a trendy habit, rather than as a health risk.[Rich people are often caricatured as wearing top hats and tails and smoking cigars. In the United States a poor-quality cigar is sometimes called a "dog rocket".[These cheap cigars are often converted into blunts rather than smoked directly. Cigars are often smoked to celebrate special occasion: the birth of a child, a graduation, a big sale. The expression "close but no cigar" comes from the practice of giving cigars as prizes in games involving good aim at fairgrounds. Since apart from certain forms of heavily cured and strong snuff, the cigar is the most potent form of self-dosing with tobacco, it has long had associations of being a male rite of passage, as it may have had during the pre-Columbian era in America. Its fumes and rituals have in American and European cultures established a "men's hut"; in the 19th century, men would retire to the "smoking room" after dinner, to discuss serious issues.
