end of deployment cigars!
My unit has a couple of months left before we get back home.
First some background. Two weeks ago, 3 buddies asked if they could smoke with me on Saturday nights. None of our schedules allow us to go to the cigar club that they have on the FOB that we're at. Of course I agreed. Got together the last two Saturdays and had a good time smoking, drinking near beer 🍺 and listening to music right outside the office.
Yesterday, one of the buddies (a lieutenant) tells me that he wants to buy some high end cigars for our little group to smoke once we get ready to leave out of here. I ask him a price range and he said anywhere from $40-$75 for five cigars.
This little group consists of:
1 uber noob - over the last two Saturdays, he smoked his three first cigars ever.
1 noober than me - started smoking on this deployment with me. He likes VS Connecticut Yankees that he got in his original sampler when he bought cigars but likes when I give him new ones to try out.
1 noob (the LT who wants to buy) - says he smoked cigars in his frat while he was in college. Don't know what kind
Me - noob who will try anything at least twice, maybe even three times. Haven't figured out what I like yet.
So it is the 4 above plus one more guy who quit smoking cigarettes 3 years ago and won't smoke cigars with us on Saturdays but hangs out to drink near beer. He said he'll smoke a cigar with us at the end of the deployment.
I started everybody off on some Naturals and Acids. They loved them. This week, I'll probably have them try a GH vintage 2002 or a 5 Vegas Gold, something on the smooth, creamy side (at least IMO).
Now, if you guys can help me out. I'm a noob and have no idea how to recommend which cigars to buy for us. I'm thinking something in the medium, maybe med-full flavored range maybe $10 per. Something without too much pepper and very smooth. We want to order them now so that we get them and are able to let them rest for a while before we smoke them.
Your helps is much appreciated! 🇨🇮
