What kind do you generally like?

Ashton VSG or for the none cigar smokes Acid Blondies go over well for the fist timers.

Yeah, need more info. Do they usually smoke cigars too? When do you plan on smoking them? Big difference in recommendation if they are experienced cigar smokers having one after a steak dinner or guys that never/rarely smoke having one on the golf course.

What's your budget?

Re: wedding cigar help please!!
 
no real budget, just looking for something special to share w the guys on a special occasion, so whatever that costs is what it will be

Camacho Scorpions :tu

AB Tempus is good, Oliva G maduros seem to be generally liked, some Tat Angeles would be a good choice too. You could also get a variety of sticks, some mild, medium, and full and let people pick for themselves. I was at a bachelor party last night and brought a whole bunch of sticks and let people choose what they wanted.

Personally I don't care for ccs, but if you want to do it they are certainly easy enough to get and a hell of a lot cheaper than $30 a stick unless you're gonna go Esplendidos or something like that.

dont really know much about them...have to do some research as far as price, availability and what not...thanks everyone for the suggestions!

OK, so big meal and all have smoked... I am thinking medium-full with lots of flavor:

Depending on budget (priciest first)

Davidoff Millenium
Padron 1964
Ashton VSG
Liga Privada
Arturo Fuente Don Carlos
Oliva V
CAO Brazilia

Feel free to PM me... I know a place to get pretty good pricing on some of these.

Oh yeah, and Mazeltov!

I would get a box of CCs for several reasons. For one, you'll probably pay less for them than a comparable box of NCs. Second, they are the best smokes you can get in my personal opinion. and third, your non cigar smoking buddies will think you're the man for giving them a treat that most people in the states don't ever get to experience.

The internet has made it much easier to acquire CCs but that's about as much as I'm willing to say on that subject.

For a mild-medium cigar that everyone likes and people usually say "Wow - that must be nice!" (from people who dont smoke) go with a Gurkha Grand Reserve Louis XIII.

Why, DAVIDOFF of course!! :ss

Diamond Crown Maximus #1 is a great smoke.

Good luck
