The Best of the Obama Inaugural Merchandise

Tuesday's presidential swearing in may be a historic, solemn occasion. But this is the U.S., which means that a lot of people are trying to make a buck off the big day. With that in mind, here's a buyer's guide to some of the notable Obama items for sale.

Obama Cigars and Cognac

Granada 1524 Cigars

What's an Inaugural celebration without a drink and a smoke? But it will take a dedicated drinker to hunt down one of the 180,000 750-ml limited-edition bottles of Hennessy 44 ($30). Not every D.C. liquor store will be carrying them, and those that do may not have them in stock for long. Meanwhile, demand for Obama cigars at local D.C. smoke shops has skyrocketed as the Inauguration approaches. While various stores are offering Obama cigars that feature a fun Inauguration-themed band, the Obama Series 44 is a smooth Nicaraguan cigar created by Granada 1524 Cigars. It will be distributed to parties and balls, and is available at a variety of stores ($10-$20 each). Hennessy 44 proceeds will benefit the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
