first of all, i appreciate in advance your input. from only 10 minutes of browsing this forum, i can tell that this is a wonderful community.

i am a novice cigar smoker, but have had the fortune of enjoying a nice Cuban a handful of times and appreciate a great smoke.

i am handling cigars for a close friends bachelor party coming up. a handful of the guys would appreciate a high quality cigar, but most of the party wouldn't know a fine cigar if it slapped them in the face.

that being said, i'd rather keep the cost around $5 per cigar. i think it would make sense to suggest something with smooth flavor, isn't too harsh, and burns nicely.

anything come to mind? i can visit a local cigar bar to sample what you suggest and report back. thanks again for your help!
