Default Re: Cigar to introduce a person?

I'm going to suggest a slightly different approach. Instead of a mild cigar, I would offer them something medium to full bodied, but still smooth. My reasoning is that new smokers tend to favor maduros and stronger cigars. I know in my case, it wasn't until I had been smoking a while that I learned to appreciate the refined subtlety of a good mild cigar.

just be careful not to get anything harsh. I'd recommend a PAM but that's a little pricey for a first-timer.

I had Macanudos and the like. I attribute the fact that I never got into cigar smoking until late in life to this unfortunate turn of events. A standard Padron pushed me down the slope.

The cusano 18 double connecticut is a great mild smoke in my book. Also consider a ryj reservea real. Both are cream bombs to me.
