No, I can't. Goes against my nature.
Gars for Noobs

When it comes to cigars Ryan. Only when it comes to cigars. I wouldn't and don't smoke most of what people find to be decent to good cigars. It's not a matter of cost even. I smoke Padron Londres and Gibraltar and JH 44s etc but I have a limited range of those.
Let's not derail this thread.
I like the HUHC idea. Fuente stuff for beginners is good. PLPC and smaller sized CCs are good.
I'll second the HUHC and Fuente for the beginner. The Rothchildes also a great cheap short light but tasty smoke if you can't get your hands on the HUHC.
The Caldwell JV lines are an excellent smoke that you won't be cringing if pitched half way. Would recommend the Sevillana. Also have to agree with the AF New World and Illusione Roth.
I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you, there, Dave. These JDNs will make noobs crap their pants...

La bomba? You want these poor souls to die of a nic hit
! Personally, if I give a $5+ cigar to someone that really does not smoke cigars and they toss it, I'd be a little bitter (on the inside), but that's just due to my budget. I'd say, go for cheaper brands blended by AJ Fernandez. They are decent, good for new smokers, and your not gonna cry if they don't smoke the whole thing. But stay away from handing out dog rockets. We're trying to recruit members to our hobby, not scare them away. I can hear it now, "my friend gave me a cigar once and it sucked=all cigars suck and I'll never try another.
For me personally, since I'm still a relative noob, I have to second the 858s maduros and short stories. The brand name is recognizable enough that they know you're not giving them junk and they're 2 of the sticks I had early on (which actually wasn't that long ago, haha) that stood out as very enjoyable. So far they've gone over well the couple of times I've handed them out

Lmao... I'm at work enjoying a smoke and you just about made me crap my pants. I handled JDN's and Opus and many other strong sticks just fine in the beginning. Maybe they chew tobacco or smoke two packs a day or smoke pipes.. Lol I'm just saying if they can handle the strength but don't have a passion for cigars and might just let it die out and never touch it again. Hahahaha so funny. Thanks for the laugh Sean!
I would smoke a black and mild infrequently, just lots of green before I started the hobby. I cant count the number of times I layed next to my toilet saying I'd Never smoke again

Damn Edwin, that's nuts!
I'll toss in the CAO Gold in corona or robusto. For less than $4 each it is a good smoke after it sits a couple of months.
I would also suggest the Gran Habano Azteca Fuerte. They cost $2 and with a month on them smoke much better than the price suggests.

What's the matter with a little first time Nic POW! ?? haha. In all honestly, those are pretty flavorful sticks, and it would really depend on how new into tobacco the individual is (Cigarettes).La bomba? You want these poor souls to die of a nic hit
I would also recommend the Short Story. It's around the $5 mark, won't take too long to smoke, is a nice tasting medium-body (ish) cigar...

Love the la bomba!
I find the same to be true for myself. I usually stock up on Padron 2000 maduro. Consistently a great smoke for anyone.
A. Fuente Gran Reserva Rosado is what I suggest for my friends who want one. Or if they aren't feeling up to a medium bodied, I suggest the RyJ 1875 which they could suck on all day and not get much out of it besides having an okay first time, hopefully not getting sick, and maybe wanting another at some point in their life. But hey, that's just my opinion.
