Need a recommendation please

In a week I'm traveling to Ft. Lauderdale for my girlfriend's brother's wedding. This will be the first time meeting her family. Her grandfather, father and brother all enjoy cigars. Father and brother are easy to shop for, so I've got them covered. Grandfather is a different story. She says he smokes Grenadier's normally but is looking forward to trying something different. I have absolutely 0 experience with those and very little with small rg cigars in general. I picked up a 5er of padron londres, figuring anything padron is a good bet, but any help with some others in that direction would be greatly appreciated. Also, is there anywhere in that I should look at visiting while there or on the trip down? This is my first time going that far south. I'll be driving down and flying back. Thanks in advance guys.

Padron Londres is a good choice. I wouldn't try and prepare further than that.
If you happen to visit a B&M with them, you can always offer to buy him something that interests him.

It's as much the company as it is the cigar, even terrible cigars can make for great times. (not that what you got was terrible)

There's a B&M next door to my hotel, Neptune Cigars. I've had more than a dozen sticks from the store. Look them up, they're close to the Ft. Lauderdale airport.

Awesome! I'll be staying pretty close to the airport too, so that works great.
