Gars for Noobs

[CaptainSaint]

The what do you do while smoking thread got me thinking. Usually when I have company I like to have a friend sit down in the backyard over some drink and a gar. Most of my friends are non smokers but will enjoy the occasional cigar. Usually this ends with a perfectly good gar (CC) being tossed after half way through because that's all they can handle. Now I know some people suggest having some dog rockets on hand for such the case however I want to try and turn some of them on to cigars not completely off. What would you suggest as some decent sticks that will be enjoyable for them but won't kill me on the inside when they kill it half way through.

Padron Londres maduro. Its the corona in the x000 line. At under $5 a stick you get a great smoke you can enjoy yourself or giveaway without feeling terrible when they don't finish it. Tag them on to an order and throw in a coupon code and you've got a really good deal on handouts IMO.

Chaetue Fuente or fuente 858

what's your budget? All depends on that.

Short, cheap, tasty, Large ring gauge = Nub Conneticut
Some of the core line AVO's are mild/low medium, cheaper
If they want some strength, give them a JDN 1970 or Dark Corojo

I don't really have a budget per say but let's just say it's not easy seeing a 17 dollar stick killed after the 1/3 mark

Brickhouse, Hoyo de Monterrey White Label, La Zona or 601 (La Bomba). Also the AF New World are under $5 and people rave about them.

Ya maybe the size is important too, maybe a nub or a petit Corona is the way to go

If you go CC route, the Boli CJ's are awesome, short $4.25 smoke

If you go the CC route you have to be careful with the PCs. They might not be able to handle the nic kick.

Partagas shorts (cc) are under $5/ smoke by the box.
H. Upmann Habana Cuba shorts are around the same price. For NC try the Arturo Fuente Short Story. $125/ 25 and taste wonderful, remarkably close to the HUHC. For non cc and on the cheaper side, brick house by JC. Newman are pretty good. I prefer the natural over the maduro, and I'm a Maduro fan

But all of those suck.

I like your snobby side

 

[Keyyoung20]

How bout the tatuaje tattoo or illusione rothchildes. Both really good smokes for 5 bucks or less. Also like one said above the AJ Fernandez new world is good. One more would be the nica rustica.

I, politely, disagree with you

Fighting cock. I got a box for $20 and I don't hate them and won't hate to see it get thrown out. Not a dog rocket, but a decent cheap stick. It's my typical yard gar, now that I'm home and a certain brothers yard work makes my wife want me to do similar.

It's the only side I got.

 

[ChefBoyRG54]

That contradicts everything I know about you...

You can impolitely disagree with me. Matters not to me. I understand I'm an idiot when it comes to what I like cigarwise.
