Still, suggestions:
RoMa Craft Intemperance is a flavorful, mild-medium smoke. Foundation's El Gueguense (wah-WEN-say) is a master stroke of tobacco genius blended by the guy who designed the original Ligas for DE. Both are excellent sharing cigars; they're high quality smokes that few people know, and they're easily enjoyed by a range of smokers.
More well known is Le Bijou from My Father. High quality, great taste, all that good stuff.
On the cheaper end, Fonsecas are great for the money. So are PDR 1878. I like the Oscura from that line, nice and strong with a heavy layer of chocolate ane coffee notes.
in fact, even though i have certain "go to" cigars i really like, i most enjoy trying new things (at all price ranges) with my little group
even if it sucks it usually turns out to be a decent experience with different people picking up different notes (assuming they have at least minimal baseline knowledge).
just bring a nice beverage as a compliment
[now if most are complete noobs to cigars and/or wouldnt enjoy any cigar either way then thats a different story]

Not a good idea to hand a slightly drunk cigar noob a MF LeBijou.
What to bring? Depends on your budget.
Fuente, Padron, MF, DE, La Palina, Tatuaje, and some mild Montecristos

Truth that extends beyond cigars.
But since tastes/preferences are different, isn't there a chance that one person's favorite might be another's dog-rocket?
For example, my Noob go-to is Cuba Libre One. Love 'em. Love 'em as much as some of the $$$ sticks I've gotten at my local B&M shop. Love how cheap I can get them on CBid. But I'm sure they are dog-rockety for some segments of the cigar smoking population.
Perhaps the trick is to follow the brand/series guidelines in your suggestions and then make sure I like 'em. Might minimize the potential for dog-rocketyness.
Thx again for the input. I sense a quick trip to my local B&M this weekend in my future.
Not too much $ but an awesome cigar.
Grav a 5 pack of Fuente Magnum R's.

One can never catch up on a missed opportunity. No matter how many times or how hard someone tries catch up they will always be one down in the count.
