Now that it's after the fact...like others have said, not really any point in getting frustrated about it now or saying anything to him. Just know that you gifted a cigar to a BOTL and that when he lights it up Christmas he will think of your generosity and enjoy that cigar even more than he would if he had bought it himself.

I've never had that happen, but I'm usually pretty clear. If I invite a bud for a smoke, he or she knows what we're gonna smoke cause I'll say so. Or I'll say "I have a couple real special cigars for us", so they know the intent.
Conversely, I've been offered very special cigars that I've tried before, know I don't like, and I'll decline, very graciously. I'll just let them know it's wasted on me, but thank you very much.
Usually I'll drag out a bunch of stuff and say here, you need to try this. And this. And this... :)
I hate picking out cigars, cause I can never make a decision, so I like to send someone else in to pick us cigars. That's easier. I don't have any "special occasion" cigars anymore, cause every single day is a special occasion. So whatever they pick is special, because I know they're going to enjoy it, and they're going to be happy they picked something I'll enjoy.

In the future, if you do hand him a non dog rocket ever again ;) clip the head and then hand it over, it will show him you want to smoke the cigars now.

Next time I'd say make it clear you wanted to share the cigars now.
It will save you some aggravation.

:tpd:

I have to say I have been handed some extremely, incredibly rare, fine cigars and I have not always smoked them right then and there. In fact, I still have a few that came that way.

I would expect my friend to tell me he wants me to enjoy that with him now and after I hear that then absolutely I would not hesitate to light it up and appease him.
