Let's not overlook the love story in the R&J name... Cedros en tubo would be great giveaways.

For you, on the other hand, choose what you really want, it's your night. I have only had one Lancero and it was epic. I have had scads of Esplendidos but I doubt many were real (street cigars in the early 2000s). I would go Lancero. Might be a bit quicker to smoke too.

Wait a minute... It was a tragedy, not a romance... Maybe Boli or another marca would carry other omen.

Just get what looks best!

Why not go an El Rey Del Mundo (king of the world)?

Lanceros all the way 08, 10, and 11 stock I have smoking lovely

I had a couple from a 2010 box over the weekend. Man... they smoked like a smooooth operator. Have to hit them soft and slow.

to be honest get them some macondodo's they won't know the difference! gave some cubans to a friend that

does not honor the code of cigar smoking because he is / was a cig. smoker for many years. He treats

cigars like he treats cig.'s. puff, puff, puff, tap, tap, tap, puts half out to smoke later or just throws away the

remaining half as if it is a cig. same for my cousin macododo for him also with a cuban band won't

know the difference! don't waste your money on even Perlas to good for them.

I prefer the esplendido. I have had aged lanceros too, while good the esplendido wins

Lancero every time for me.... but for wedding give aways; monte no.4, good enough smoke for the smokers, and as for everyone else... at least it won't hurt too badly seeing the abuse...

CoLa is a good choice, very generous. Just be prepared for most of the guys to leave the cigar less than half smoked.

I'd recommend something that has:

--Name recognition: Cohiba, Monte, R&J

--Tubo

--Shorter format

I think an R&J Short or Wide Churchill Tubo might be perfect. Or even a Monte Petite Tubo.

RyJ tubo+1

For a non smoker, I really don't think them would know how to taste a good cigar like those.

I have Rafael Gon. / ERDM daily, but I don't give them to cigar noob, tubo is good IMO

If its for novices id go for something milder, winnies if giving them the cream, but hoyo epi2 more likely to have a good enjoyment / price ratio

I'm no expert, but, the last Espendido I smoked was awesome, especially since it was gifted to me! :party:

How does "it was given to me" factor into how good the cigar is??? Myself, I could care less whether it was free or I bought the thing, a bad cigar is a bad cigar and a great cigar a great cigar. Whether it was free or not has no bearing on the flavor and smoking performance of the cigar. I've never understood that statement and I hear it all the time. Makes one look like a cigar mooch when they say it.

Cohiba Esplendido from the Cuban beach is the correct answer for this occasion. Based on my own experience from over 20 y ago.

Free may or may not make a difference, but a gift can have incredible values beyond cost that you obviously just don't understand. My understanding was that mooching involves requesting or in some way making clear you want one of someone else's Cigars, this, to me, is not the same as a gift.

I would go the cohiba pyramid extra myself. I've smoked enough cohiba's of late and those are the best and than instead of tubo go either Monty 2's or ep2. Big ring gauge always makes guys feel like a "boss" and they are great when they are "on". Or even sig 3 if you can find them.
