Cigars you can't go wrong with?

[CigarInspector]

Hello everyone,

I was thinking about an article idea for the blog and decided to ask for your advice. I'm looking to create a short list of cigars that you can gift and that will please every or almost every cigar smoker. The goal is to help people who do not necessarily know much about cigars (either non smokers or beginners) and who want to make a gift to their smoking friends (I often receive e-mails asking for this kind of advice).

I think that the cigars we are looking for should be:
- rather easy to find
- suitable for every kind of smoker (= no powerhouses, no extremely mild cigars)
- a significant part of these cigars should be within a reasonable budget

I came up with the following cigars that I think would be great for every smoker whatever his/her flavor profile:
Oliva Serie V (too strong?)
Cubao range
Ashton VSG
Arturo Fuente Hemingway
CAO La Traviata
Padron 1926
Illusione 88
Avo Domaine
Tat - which blend?

Wondering what's your opinion on these. Any brands/blends you think should not be on the list? Anything you'd like to add?

Thanks a ton
