Screw tradition, if he's your top guy or friend or both, give him something nice. Maybe 2, one for him, one for his dad.
If he wants to give out announcement cigars, that's on him. Those are often lower end cigars that get handed out by the father to all of his (mostly non-smoking) buddies as part of some outdated 1930-1950's tradition that no one cares about anymore.
Not your responsibility to give him enough cigars for everyone.
