Weird. I tried to post this but it never showed up. So here we go again. What do you guys and gals keep on hand for the guy who really wants a cigar but doesn't smoke? The guy who takes 2 puffs and ignores the rest. The guy who isn't allowed to smoke so you have to be careful his wife doesn't come in the garage. That guy.

Man, you sure don't want to smoke a cigar if you think you'll get busted. I like mild smokes, and have not yet found one that does not leave distinct odiferous evidence. I suggest taking the dog for a walk and lighting up a Baccarrat. And on your way home, pull out a tounge scraper, mouthwash and some kick butt breath mints.

Either a new vice or a new wife.

Don Diego,

Macanudo,

Joya de Nic Antono 1970, when I want to see them turn green.

LMAO @ Homebrew...

Might keep them from asking again.

I keep some bundle cigars on hand, torano brick and Deminico Maddies. At a less than a couple bucks each I don't mind so much if the dude takes a couple of whacks.

Mac Portofino seconds. Mild, narrow ring gauge, cheap.

Cu-Avana? I like well enough -- guests seem to like.

It seems like I've always got a few sticks on hand remaining from some 5-er or bundle that I tried but don't really care for. Mr. P-whipped is welcome to them.

What he tells his wifey afterward is not my problem.

I always keep a bundle or two of La Floridita Maduro on hand ...

... really inexpensive (about a dollar each), but a well balanced cigar full of flavor, plenty of 'medium-bodied' but smooth smoke, and a great burn ... so they are not turned off by the experience.

On the other hand, if you give them a really surpurb 'top-shelf' cigar that is not too overpowering, they may not put it down after a few puffs ...

Cremosa Cubano, Cu-avano, Moro Castle, 1876(got a friend actually hooked on cigars through these). Something cheap and wouldn't mind smoking myself.

No-name samplers.
