Cigars for a wedding that is a year off...

txjayhawk

dont start the congrats or the sorry's yet....its my brothers wedding. They are thinking of having a roller at the their reception (which would be fun but I like to have a little age on some smokes not to mention i can go get 50 nice sticks for a hell of alot less than paying the roller). That being said, I would say about 50 cigars should do the trick, I am willing to bite the bullet and take on any extras... : ). I dont want to go spend a ton and I want somthing that will age nicely in my cabinet in time to break them out in a year so everyone can enjoy a nice smoke for the ocassion...any suggestions?

5 vegas gold, RP connecticut, or gurkha park avenue. I'm assuming that most of these people don't smoke cigars regularly. CAO gold's another that comes to mind. Those 4 are usually what I hand out.

How about the 262 mild blend, due to come out later this year. It would give you time to put a little age on it, and it would certainly be somewhat of a novelty. And it would look great in your cabinet!

Thanks for the plug Poker Slob! The mild blend isn't set for release until after summer, and we don't have price information on it yet. I'd guess that they will probably be around the same price point as the current blend, the Paradigm.

You should call ccom up and ask, since they'd probably be willing to throw a sweet deal together for you. I would go with two kinds of cigars, maybe a medium full and a mild medium to give some choice to people?

I'd go with the Repasado '96. They're a cool shape, plus they're unbanded, so you could even have some custom bands made....... They come in boxes of 40 for around $100. Maybe if you call The Beard he could hook you up with 50 for a deal..... Worth a shot.

To be honest, I've never had one. Now I feel kinda stupid reccomending them without having tried one myself! LOL! But I hear great things about them, and I think the price is right.

Something else you could look into would be getting some of the Segundo's. Then you can get some sticks you may already know are good and since they are unbanded you can get custom bands for the wedding.

Haven't had them myself either, but they won the Ccom Bronze award for best value; so evidently they got something good going for 'em

well... if you look in the 101 section you'll see the thread I shamelessly posted showing off my new Humi... so no... not yet... I broke down and got a custom humi... but I will be building one after the wedding...

Clearlysuspect and a few others and I went in on a box of these. I really liked them but we had the Habano so I can not speak on how the connis or maddys are. They are great for the price and I would def. get more if I was looking to build up my smokes.
