I'd also say your best bet for a cigar before the ceremony is either:

The night before. Find a nice patio with some friends/family and that bottle of four roses. Maybe find a nice place to relocate to after the groom's dinner.

Or,

First thing in the morning the day of the wedding. Though if you ate not an early riser, I'd go with the former option. Actually, I'd go with the former option either way. Sounds much more relaxed. And you won't get weird looks from drinking straight bourbon so early in the day.
