looking for cigar suggestions, bachelor party..

[grand cru no 2]

I'd buy a box of Gran Habanos through an on-line vendor or a box of Punch Champions from an on-line vendor. Check out www.jrcigars.com for the Punch, check out www.cheapercigars.com for the Gran Habanos (get the Corojo #5 Robustos). Or, I could send you a box of my local cigar shops cigars, they are of good quality (other members can vouch for them) and not too expensive, you can also order those on-line at www.lcgcigars.com. Get the maduros.

That's the way I'd roll.

Man, I've been smoking alot of those lately. Great smokes! But, I think they may be a little strong for a group of novice cigar smokers or "social smokers". I'd go with the black label Gran Habanos, still flavorful, but a bit more mild.

You guys are annihilating this poor guy with heavy hitters!

Yes, ALL excellent smokes but a bit too strong for novice smokers IMHO.

My picks for this crowd would be: (all in a natural wrap)

Romeo y Julieta Vintage series (ooops! a bit more than $5 a smoke)

Macanudo

Arturo Fuente

Leon Jimenez

La Aurora

Montesino

La Unica

CAO Gold series

Gurkha Expedition series

Punch (Champions are nice for a short smoke - Try Chateau L's for a big-ass smoke)

A few of these might run you a bit more than $5 a stick - Splurge!

Have fun!

guys, thanks million for the tips thus far. i went to the local Tinder Box to get the owners input before i had even seen all the replies.

At the owners suggestion, i walked out with the following samples..

- St. Luis Rey Reserva Especial
$3.50..... smoked it in the car on the way home
perfect size, not too big. (don't want to torture the non-smokers with a 2 hour cigar!)
nice ash, mild enough .. didn't knock my socks off. price is right.

- Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real
$5.00 ... this was his top suggestion. said its an all around winner

- Olivia Grand Maduro $3.50

- Aiello Nicaragua $3.75

I will take all of your suggestions and sample the smokes i have in hand. keep the advice coming, you guys are great!

I like these too - red or green labels either one. Haven't tried the blacks. It's a big bachelor party kind o' cigar though - can't go wrong with them.

I'd stick with a milder cigar from a well known manufacturer. You don't want to look like a schmuck in front of your buddies.

CAO Gold

Macanudo

i would recommend

for cheap and mild : sancho panza's you can get a box for under $60 and there really smooth even non cigar smokers will like them

although anything CAO is great, however some are quite strong.

however if you have your party in Montreal i can hook you up with some cubans

i hope this helps
