Cigar for a guest ? - Page 2

Certain friends of mine are welcome to take ANY cigar they want out of my humidor, others, I select a handful they can choose from.

All my friends are novice smokers at best but I usually let them try some good ones now and then.

This. Or whould I say "these." 99% of my friends don't smoke cigars. A very good friend whom I am starting to reconnect with after a 6 year hiatus was up a couple weeks ago. We started with a new PSD4 to share. The next day, we had a couple LGC MdO3's from 2000. Later that night, I gave him a 98 Punch Corona. He did pretty well with all of them, and smoked at least 2/3's of the way and enjoyed what he did smoke.

I would feel worse if my friend hated a cigar and smoked the whole thing out of obligation, instead of just being honest and either getting rid of it or passing it back to me.

Nobody really gets near my humi just because I'm very select as to who comes by my home. Of those whom I smoke with that aren't regular smokers I usually pick a few pairs of cigars that I am willing to smoke myself, they probably won't take offense to, and won't break the bank. I let them pick from those pairs and we both can share the experience they choose. As for my BOTL, only a few have come by to smoke and they have brought their own sticks. When I am out I have let my brothers shuffle through my little 40ish count humi and they can pick what they want as long as it hasn't been gifted to me or is an intended gift for another that night. When my blood brother comes by I pick several pairs of strong cigars usually since he smokes a lot and the strong stuff works best for him.

If they are good friends then anything I have. If not its usually some Cuesta Rey sungrowns that I have that I don't smoke anymore.

Nothing selfish about that. Some sticks are for special occasions or can be a bit personal.

Then i have some nice high dollar cc that i have been bombed with, i have a buddy who smokes with me a lot, he has had a couple cc but he tells me he cant tell a difference, so he cant have my cc....LOL

I used to just let them have free reign but for some reason the inexperienced smokers know enough to take my nicest crap lol. I am thinking of turning my traveldor into a friendador when I am not actually traveling. I will just put a bunch of mid range smokes in it and they can choose from there. I am tired of them choosing $15-$20 smokes and only smoking a fourth.

Yeah I had a friend grab a loose Cohiba Esplendido and 20 min into it he smashed it in the ash tray and said it was to much for him

Brutal, IMO that's pretty disrespectful.

That should be a crime...

I keep a 100 ct humidor for house guests so they can have free reign over their pick. Most of our friends arent regular smokers and its a novelty for them. However when any of my friend come over they can have whatever they want out of any humi

That's really the best plan. If you are keeping track of 3 ice chests and 4 humidors, what's one more?
Just a small humi full of nice-but-not-too-nice sticks that will never raise so much as a tear in the eye
when they invariably, as one said before, get smashed out like they were a cigarette or something, lol.
If you do it right, they think that's your humidor. 'WOW, you're letting me dabble in your personal
stash, lol.' (No, my personal stash is inaccessible at the present time, hahahaha.)
