ajgagnon Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 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.
ajgagnon Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Wait a minute... It was a tragedy, not a romance... Maybe Boli or another marca would carry other omen. Just get what looks best!
polarbear Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 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)?
Dbone Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 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.
thunderdan11 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 The espy by far and I really like lanceros but no contest IMO Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
kuma Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 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.
Lant63 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I prefer the esplendido. I have had aged lanceros too, while good the esplendido wins Sent by telepathic super powers -Stogie Boy 1
rigby Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 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...
nick2021 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Love the Lancero....but the Esplendido wins for me
jedipastor Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 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.
Hoepssa Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 RyJ tubo+1For 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
Troels Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 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
BonVivant Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 the poll is dated, but if Lancero is Trinidad Fundadores before 2013, it is not
TonyAccardo Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I'm no expert, but, the last Espendido I smoked was awesome, especially since it was gifted to me! 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.
mrsgucia Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Cohiba Esplendido from the Cuban beach is the correct answer for this occasion. Based on my own experience from over 20 y ago.

Makes one look like a cigar mooch when they say it. 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. 1
mikemerry Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 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. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
