Just curious

Listen to all the advice here, dont start em out strong or they will again be put off, but for a dif reason than the first time. Lots of good suggestions here, personally I would suggest an Oliva or a Macanudo

. Not a bad choice. Really any AVO, especially the 787 line.

Like others said the 858 AF, or the 5 Vegas 'A'.

All good choices. I have been giving out to part time smokers who want to learn more... the Oliva Special G. It's a short smoke but flavorful.
They always come and ask questions about it after smoking. Then I can steer them toward other bands they may like as well.

I'm not sure it's worth you trouble, or even a good idea to try and convince someone to do something they're not interested in. Especially since there are quite possibly more health concerns than benefits associated with smoking (generally speaking).

If they're not fond of the idea, leave them be. If they're at least a little curious, follow the instructions written here.
