I'll assume he's buying at a Duty Free shop or something, where it will almost certainly be cheaper than a store.

Though I'm a noob to these as well, the main question is how often does your Dad enjoy cigars? If he's not a big smoker, than I'd go with something like an R&J Short Churchill. If he can handle slightly stronger cigars, I'd vote for the Bolivar Royal Corona (a robusto) or Petite Corona. The Monte #4 is good too, though I've heard a lot of stories of inconsistency. You can also go Cohiba, but they are dang expensive. The Bolivar will be the cheapest of these options most likely, and my personal favorite marca.
