You say there are five or so friends that smoke with you from time to time?, I'm sure they recognize your passion for fine cigars, and might be expecting you to break out the top shelf goods here. I think my initial sugg. of opus may be a bit too strong, but there are some milder Davidoffs that would suit nicely. As for handing out to the infrequent smoker? The Sancho Panza Dbl Maddy thing would be very classy... the looks and taste of those are far beyond their cost.
