I recommend Monte #2.

My wife actually very much liked the Monte Especial #1!! The smaller ring gauge caught her attention... The #2's have never done it for her - she says she doesn't like smoking a big honking cigar like the #2...

Thanks to all who replied. It definitely helps to have a heads up and a potential list when heading to the shop, especially when I'm making a purchase for someone else.
It's also great to see that there are couples out there who enjoy cigars together. The wife seems to think the cigar life is a "guy thing."
Thanks again.

I would recommend the Ashton classic line. I personally like the 8-9-8, and it tastes kind of sweet to me.

When I originally requested suggestions, I didn't want flavored smokes recommended, and now that I've thought about it I hope I wasn't ruffling anyone's feathers. I realize that some people smoke the flavored cigars and that's cool.
My question is: Does anyone know what the cigar manufacturers use to make the stick flavored? I'm a little leery because it always seemed to me that although a nice cigar may be potentially hazardous, at least I know (or think I know) what I'm getting. So, maybe if somebody could educate me, I'd probably be more willing to expand my horizons.
Thanks

LOL. So I guess the best time to enjoy one is after eating one of my mother-in-law's meals!

I think that Bubba -NJ has the idea, just ask the clerk, or whoever's checking on the humidor that day. I find that if i'm looking for a while, somone'll ask me if i want some help (then again, i may just look suspicious). But i've found that the people who are around cigars all the time tend to smoke a lot, and thus know a lot about them. Talking in person would probably get you better descriptions etc. but chances are, as long as you don't get something like the chissle, or tell her to stand up real fast after she's done smoking the cigar, she'll probably have a good experience.
