Aside from the price issue, you are alos dealing with the fact that there are so many BOTL (Brothers of the Leaf aka cigar lovers)that have so many different types of tastes when it comes to cigars, its going to be difficult for you to tell what type of a cigar your husband would like. There are flavored cigars (khalua, vanilla,orange spice, white sage), there are diffierent flavors to different brands such as acid and lars tetens, which have a different cigar flavor (almost flowery) than a normal cigar, there are mild bodied,medium bodied and full flavor cigars which are usually a varied degree of spicey, pepper, coffee, cocoa, nuts wood, leather, cedar and just a tobacco flavor. I'm going to go out on a limb here cause there is going to be some guy who disagrees with everything (Slimboli) just about anyone says about a particular aspect of cigars, but most of the smokers here are medium to full bodied maduro (for the most part a dark outer cigar wrapper)smokers which is generally a cigar that is pungent in its cigar flavor, usually spicey, peppery, cocoa or nutty. If your hubby is an occasional cigar smoker and money itsn't that much of an issue I would suggest getting him a sampler packet of gurhkas, carlos toranos or avo which are some of the popular brands, but there are many others that are similar in quality. My personal favorites are Oliveros xl for men, carlos torano signature, carlos torano tribute, Joya de nicaragua antanos granconsul,gurkha centurian double x,don tomas special edition, avo #2(for a mild smoke)and partagas seasonal blends. Good luck and believe it or not you will get alot of different responses. Good luck and don't be shy about asking questions, there are alot of really good people who will go out of their way to help you! Good Luck!
