Cigars worthy of a friend's Engagement.....

Then again I could just get a few packs of Phillies for remeberance of our high school days.!

Peach Blunts!!! Oh the days. haha.

I'm not sure where to start with these either. Definately something nice for the occasion would be good. What kind of smokers are they I guess would be something to take into consideration (such as what strength they prefer, etc). I'd say that something like Cohiba's or Hoya de Monterrey would be great. I've seen Cohiba's as engagement presents before and just the name seems to say a lot for people. And it doesn't hurt if you can get some ISOMs.

Don't waste money on non-hobbyist smokers. Seriously, it ain't worth it. A solid every day smoke will make them all happy and if it's got one of the classic names like RyJ or Montecristo, they'll be even happier. If the guy who is engaged actually knows a little something splurge on a nice Ashton VSG, easily available, not overpriced.

My thoughts exactly. No matter what it is, they won't smoke the whole thing. I would probably pick up some cheap ISOMs for the guests. As long as they know it's from Cuba, they won't care and in their mind it will taste great before they even light it. I would just pick the main man something special.

I went to a wedding recently and picked up an Opus X for the guy to smoke at his bachelor party. But noooo, he had to smoke his cigar with genuine Pre-Embargo Cuban tobacco in it.

I'm looking at you JoeBlow.

I totally agree with BigMac on this one. I also think going with a shorter, smaller smoke is great for the party situation. Guys who aren't regular smokers will appreciate the thought, butcher the first half of the cigar and butt it out halfway through so don't waste your money.

Well I might buy a box of Astral TSVs, as thats the cigar my buddy who is getting married always likes to smoke with me and our other buddy really likes em as well. Have em at the party and keep a few on hand for the bachelor party when ever it is. Then get something nice but not too expensive for the big day. What about a box of RASCC for the wedding?

The more I thought about it and read through your guy's posts, I realized its not what I think would be a good smoke, but what he will think would be a good smoke. Thus why I figure Ill buy the TSVs since he really likes them. And shit, I cant complain either as I really like em as well. So I just need to decide what to get for the big day then. Which I will get something smaller since your right that they wont finish a larger size.
