I’m a Union Man. My LC is retiring after 20 years of serving us faithfully as long as our Legislative Rep who has gotten laws passed protecting our jobs.

So I would like to get them a box of cigars. They enjoy good whiskey as well as see them smoking cheap cigars after and at meetings. I would like to show my 30 years of appreciation and just not sure what to get them.

Price / cost is not a concern. So I am looking for suggestions. I am not against spending $500 a box on there gifts. I have already gotten them both a 750 of Pappy Vam Winkle 23 year but would like to give them a box of cigars of same quality.

Please let me know your suggestions.

I was thinking something along the same lines.


I was also thinking that a nice box of Fuentes might be good. Palama or other people on here could better guide you to the right ones. Maybe some Opus X or something? It would help to know the LC´s tastes. Fuentes can be a good option because they are well made and often strike a good balance of not too strong, not too mild. Padróns are good but commit you to the fuller end of the spectrum. Make sense?

I have given Fuentes as gifts even when I didn´t smoke many of them because I knew they would be well constructed and because they appeal to a broad range of tastes.

I think a Padron Family reserve or anniversary series is the best gift for a seasoned smoker which you said they were. You can find boxes of 10 in certain sizes.

Thanks for all the feedback. As for there tastes I haven’t seen either stick with a brand. They either get house Maduro cigars for the cigar shop across the street from the hall or some other off brand. The only time I have seen them smoke anything with a band was the Rocky Patel Hamlet Liberation and unfortunately they are discontinued.

They may keep there better cigars at home or are just happy with whatever. But I will definitely look into everything suggested appreciate that help. I will also check back and see if there are more suggestions.
