You with the anti-smoking lobby or something? My god.

You must take "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" pretty seriously.

To be honest my cigar friends are indebted to me beyond repayment at this point.  I'm too generous but at these current prices I'm going to have to buy some cheap and cheerful cigars.  Should be fun.

Upmann Half Corona or RyJ Mille Fleur depending which they prefer the size of.

It's all about zen balance.

They used to love you. Now you must face their scorn.

Used to be RG Perlas and HDM Ep 2 but lately AF Short Story and Flor De Selva Siestas due to everything else that's going on with prices and shortages.

I've been enjoying the partagas habaneros and aristocrats of late.

Any Gurkha.  Then show them the suggested MSRP (not what they actually sold for)

[Chucko8]

Upmann Half Coronas are good for the purpose

I usually give them what I am smoking, so given the fact that they are not into cigars; Monte 3 is my first choice.

I also generally share the same cigar with a new smoker one on one.  However, I am hosting the cigar bar for a 250 person wedding in September and it is RyJ tubos all the way, pre cigarmageddon purchase. 

The RyJ # 2 or #3 tubos are my go to for all who want to get in on a smoke, but don't have one to smoke cuz they're not really smokers.  With 5-6 yrs onboard they can become smooth and tasty.  win:win

I usually carry some El Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse for the non-connoisseur/occasional cigar smoker. They have easily approachable flavors and the construction is usually on point.

If my friend has a genuine interest in cigars - MC4 or whatever I'm smoking. 

If it's someone that just feels the sudden urge to smoke a cigar (and will probably put it down halfway through, end up puking in my bathroom if they smoke the whole thing, or just chew on it) - whatever NC looks the fanciest that I don't want.
