I mostly have sticks that have been given to me or bombed, I try and hand out stuff I have already tried.

If I allow someone into my house, they can have any cigar they want. My friends are way more important than my cigars.

Agreed 100%!



Funny thing is that generally what I smoke and what those friends smoke is so far apart, I actually keep a few of what they like on hand so they have something to grab! Good example, best friend likes Hoyo Dark Knight #1's. I have a mostly full box of #1's and #2's in my cooler that I'm just "aging"

I agree with this completely. I bought an Opus X a few months ago and my father (who doesn't regularly smoke by the way) asked me what was good. I told him how good the Opus was supposed to be (I have never smoked one and heard they were best with age so I was going to let it rest a year). Anyways I let him have it and he put it out about a third in. At that point I said I am going to pick the other persons cigars unless they are a smoker and see something they like. Nothing really off limits except for the Behike I picked up in Canada during my wedding.

Default Re: What to save? What to give?

I will give out anything that I have to a knowledgable smoker that will appreciate it. Even if I haven't tried it yet I will give it as long as I have more of it. I am a pretty generous individual and love spreading some cigar love around as long as it is appreciated. I would hate to hand out an LP9 or T-52 to someone who is newer into cigars because I would fear it wouldn't be appreciated by the novice smoker.

I only give my 1492s to newbs, because everyone else brings preconceptions and expectations.

Sorry, Tom.

Exactly. I buy 99% of my cigars as samplers so I only have one or two of each, so I usually don't give them away as I want to try them myself first. I bought some 5 Vegas Golds to pass off to buddies as I don't really know any that smoke cigars and these are a quality, mild, inexpensive cigar.

I'm also unemployed though with a small humidor.

Haha. Sonic, I think this is the first thread we've shared. You're the reason I'm here. I used to dabble at MM.

Maybe I am wrong. But used to be on forum called Modded Mustangs, there's a thread there called "The Offical MM Cigar Thread" and that's how I found this site, but there's also a guy on that forum with a name identical or terrifyingly similar to yours.

Default Re: What to save? What to give?

Over nearly 40 years of smoking I've probably given away as many cigars as I've smoked, and many of those have been prized sticks. But I'll choose what to give to each individual, so that each person receives something I know they'll enjoy, and a truly great stick isn't mismatched with the smoker.

It's only happened a few times, but I have made mistakes where I gave someone a cigar that I valued highly and he stamped it out after a few puffs without regard to the cigar itself nor my feelings.

Not recently, though.

For me it depends on who it is, I have friends that I know that are avid cigar guys/gals that they can take what they like cause I know they will apreciate what they are going to smoke. There are others that I pick for. I also have a small singles draw that I have like limited that may eventually get smoked but only by me.

It's pretty much up to how you do it--whatever works for you and makes you comfortable. I usually smoke alone, but the people I sometimes smoke with do not know enough about all the various brands, etc. to be able to select a cigar from my stash, so I just pick for all of us, and just about everything is fair game.
