Yes, we know: cigar chairs are usually made of leather. But what if you already have plenty of leather furniture and another piece would run the risk of making it look too heavy? What if budget is one of your main concerns? Or perhaps you were hoping for a more casual and cozier feel?

In that case, it wouldn’t hurt to choose fabric upholstery instead.

Don’t worry: everyone will still be able to tell that it’s a cigar chair as long as you maintain some elements from its most iconic designs, such as a tufted back or a nailhead trim.
