Suggestions for "when friends are over" cigars?

The 5 Vegas are a good idea. I'd also suggest the Camacho 1962 perfecto. They're reasonably priced, not strong, darn tasty, and the perfecto shape would be particularly fun for a bunch of guys who don't smoke. They'd feel like they were in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

I agree, 5 Vegas are a good choice. Not too expensive, good quality and a mild smoke that's not going to scare anybody off.

Yeah I like em plenty. It's Series A so it has that lovely inviting chocolate/coffee taste to it that makes it easy to get into. Only problem is that I've only got Apostles (7x50) at the moment and only one or two of my friends smoke regularly enough to actually finish one. And thanks for the Camacho suggestion, tried a Cojoro Ltd 8/22 last friday and if that's anything to go by the 1962s would be a good choice. I'll have to pick some up and try em out.

Oliva Serie G, one of my favorites, the Punch punch, 5 Vegas Classic or Gold. Those are all relatively inexpensive and are pretty good in my opinion. Another to think about, though I've not had one yet, is the standard Arturo Fuente line, maybe the 8-5-8. Obviously there is an abundance of good, reasonably priced cigars out there, so this shouldn't be much of a challenge finding something good.

I thought about recommending the punch punch as well since I enjoyed it so much and it has a great flavor and price, however it's a bit strong I'm not sure if other newbies would like it as much.

Perhaps it is a bit strong the the new smoker, I just can't help but recommend that one at every turn since I like it so much.

This question is probably the most frequently asked one on this forum, and the 5 Vegas Classic always makes the list for good reasons.. They are enjoyed by rookies as well as long time smokers.. I would add Fonseca, probably the 8-9-8 because of the smaller size, very nice in my opinion, as well as Baccarat for the true non-smokers. The sweet tip may not be for true cigar lovers, but they have a great taste and mildness that will be enjoyed. All three can be had for a lower price. ( about three bucks each or less) in a box purchase.

I just recently tried the oliva serie G stick myself as well and holy crap is that a damn fine cigar. There are lots of good cheap sticks out there, you just have to give them a chance. I wish I had more time to smoke. I guess thats why I like petit/tinned cigars so well.

Hi all, I couldnt agree more with the Oliva Serie G, that's a damn fine smoke. I also reccommend: Drew Estate Java: Purist or not, ive converted alot of my friends with these Rocky Patel Vintage 92: If they're a GOOD friend and not one of my cigar mooching buddies Sol Cubano Connecticut: For the aforementioned mooches... Cusano 18 Double Connecticut: Mild and easy to smoke, usually a blanket crowd pleaser I've had a few buddies want to try a Brazillian label after i fire it up too.
