Cigar Night

[Steve83]

Hi all,

I'm a new member of FOH and am enjoying learning more about great cigars!

My question is... me and a few mates are planning a cigar get together to sample a couple of decent cigars with some good beer and wine. Which two cigars would you recommend to a group of guys who are beginners/relatively new to the world of Cuban cigars?

Thanks to all in advance for your suggestions.

Steve

Are you new to Cigars, or just Cuban cigars?

[ramon_cojones]

anything from montecristo and hoyo in that case

[Steve83]

Cigars in general. I typically will smoke say 4-5 a year, something like a Punch or R&J petit.

If you have to go for unaged (fresh) stock, HDM Epicure No2 and Bolivar petit corona should be reasonably priced, quite different and interesting... amongst countless options

[Steve83]

Many thanks. Countless options is about right! :-)

Okay fair enough! Here are a few of the cigars I would suggest starting out with. All of which are relatively inexpensive. They are all very different in flavor profiles, so it will give you a good range to find what you like!

H.Uppman Half Corona

MonteCristo #2

Partagas Serie D #4

RyJ Short Churchhills

Vegas Robaina - Familiar

Cohiba - Siglo ii

Enjoy!

Personally, I'd be focussing on minuto and petit corona sized cigars as they don't 'last forever' and don't become a 'chore' to smoke!

X2. Something like Monte 4, RASCC, Parti Shorts. Have enough of each so that each of you can try two or even all three in a 3-4 hour get together.

I think you can't go wrong with an HdM Epicure 2 as one of your choices

[Steve83]

Thank you. The HdM Epicure 2 is going on the list.

Thanks everyone for your help!
