in Cigar 101
We're expecting our daughter in March and wanted to get my husband some "It's a Girl" Cigars for Christmas.  He's a cigar smoker and will know a good cigar when he sees it.  I obviously do not, which is why I am here.  I've done several google searches and see there are a handful of options / sites to choose from.  I do not mind spending money for a good pick.  Any advice on sites and brands to purchse?

    Hey guys ! Where are our collective manners ? First of all, Congratulations to the expectant couple. Is this your first ? I have two babies of my own. Ones 20, ones 17.. I personally enjoy the Fuentes cigars.

    Umm, are you referring to aged cigars? I bet that 20 year one is going to be good.

    Congrats, and I agree with Kuzi, fuente makes a good cigar, and the boy/girl bundles are like 40 or 50 bucks so it's not entirely expensive. You'll have to let us know how everything turns out.

    Congratulations on your new addition. I can't add anything to what has been said, so I'll leave it at that.

    Yes it's our first, so we're definitely excited.  He'll love the gift I'm sure, especially now that I'm getting him something good!  Thanks to all of you for your advice.

    My wife wouldn't know the difference between a Big Mac and a Macanudo. ( this statement will cause a reply or two.. )

    Congratulations, and I would just like to add my $.02. Everybody here gave great advice, but if I had to choose between the Cusano and the Fuent, I would go with the Fuente.

    Ummm. I wish I would have bought a box of cigars at the birth of my kids, and saved them. Smoke one from the box on their birthdays for the next twenty five years for comparison sake.. But I didn't, so I have two kids age 20 and 17, but no aged cigars. Any fathers to be should do that. It sounds like a great way to celebrate.

    You know that is a good idea, though I don't know how well cigars would hold up to 15 years plus..

    Be sure to get something really good, and take care of them.. If they start to turn in the wrong direction, finish them off a little early.. It would be a great time.

    my plan was in the same vein. I would buy 3 very high end cigars when i find out the wife is pregnant. smoke one on the birthday and have two for the day they turn 18 (if its a boy) or (if its a girl) two for the day she gets married. one for me, one for her husband.... but if she is into cigars.... hmmmmm

    You need to start them off early kuzi, though I think the general consensus is against this...
