Wedding Sticks

robbyras · January 2010

Hey fellas - I am looking for some sticks to have at my wedding. I figure I'll get a couple boxes (40-50 in all). One for me (premiums) and the folks who are more inclined and one for the folks who are having one because they are there. I'm still pretty new to cigars. Been smoking for about a year but only 4-6 per month. My personal favorites are the Padilla Miami, Padilla Habano, Olivia O, Gran Habano Corojo #5 and the Rocky Patel Decade. I'm not exactly sure what I want to spend, but I think the Padilla's are over budget. I was also thinking that I don't really need a box of the premiums, maybe just 10 sticks or so. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Check out the El Monstro Sampler. 50 sticks for $200.

For premiums, you can't go wrong with the perennial favorites (Opus X, Padron Anni, etc). For the others, you may want to consider 5 Vegas or Ccom house blends. They are good cigars at a very good price.

There was a thread about this not too long ago and someone suggested that seconds are a good idea for the guests that are not regular smokers. In addition, the seconds come unbanded so you can order some custom bands to put on them.

wow... i just checked it out and it seems like a great deal... I've never had any of those cigars though... i like the sampler idea though... gives something for everyone... the wedding is in September so I have some time... I am seasoning a new humi so I have a place to let them rest for a few months

Thanks for the reply... I was thinking about seconds and I'm glad you mentioned it. I never thought of the custom bands, that's a great idea...

5 Vegas Gold would be a good choice I think for a wedding. 60 bucks gets you a box and they are mild enough for non smokers to enjoy.

FYI, I had a nice high roller cigar, a don carlos 30th and to be honest just was too much for the day. I couldn't really enjoy it and I was very distracted. So don't go all high end on your big day, maybe on the HM or something...

The Rocky Patel ITC 10th anniversary are great for the money and they taste fantastic to boot and they wont break the bank

thanks for all the feedback fellas! The wife seems to like the idea of a sampler and I agree. I like the idea of the guests being able to choose. Plus, I get all the leftovers! So I'll look for something with a decent range...
