The Intro Cigar - Bait?

[denver24]

I was hoping you guys could give me some advice on what cigars I should offer up to a newb who doesn't have a lot of experience but might smoke more if they smoked the right cigar. I figure it shouldn't be too expensive in case it gets wasted on an ignoramus and not too strong to have them puking on the 3rd green. What would be the one cigar that would be the best bait to get a newb hooked line and sinker? Thanks!

Arturo fuente hemmingway series, ashton classic, griffins classic, davidoff special series

These aren't just good cigars for a beginner, they are good cigars period.

If you have access to cubans then upmann corona majors and epi 2s are like noob bait. They will have a noob drooling for more.

Perdomo Lot 23, Maduro
Fuente Chateau Fuente Sun Grown,

Ok... I was kidding on the last one

For a beginner, I second the Casa Torano

Others- Fuente 8-5-8, Baccarat, Onyx Reserve and the standard lines from Sancho Panza, Fonseca and Ashton.

I second the 8-5-8 and reccomend CAO Gold and Macanudos.

In any case... never give to a friend what you wouldn't smoke yourself!


Moochy neighbors and in-laws are another story.
