My wife and friends are mad at me!

I would also go with the Java. It is not my favorite, but for a beginner I think it is a good smoke.

I keep all the ones mentioned (except the Kahlua), plus CAO Earth Nectar, Eileen's Dream, Karmasutra Splash, and Moontrance.
The flavored cigars get tons of play, everyone who comes over checks them out and Kerri loves to show people the flavored cigars. It allows all my non-cigar smoking friends to get in on the fun.
I get them at cbid, usually at an excellent price.

I would add another vote for the Java. I don't really smoke flavored but I was on an RP kick at the time and gave it a shot. While I probably won't be picking up another anytime soon it was not a bad smoke at all, probably good for someone who has little experience with cigars

Here's what I do. I will offer a cigar and if they like it I get their email and send them a link to the online store. In the email I will also include some others they may like. They are now in the game.

Baccarats are cheap and have a sweetened cap. I think they're nasty but plenty of people love them.

Is it your backyard? Are they providing the drinks for you? If so you might just be the cigar man lol.

I agree with FriendlyFire's post above. But if you want to supply, go for Acids or the Drew Estate Naturals (Clean Robusto is the best in my opinion, very fruity/citrus flavor to it).

Now thats the ticket!!

[[OT] Loki]

tell them to buy their own

Another vote for the java for something a little cheaper. If you want to go a little more expensive try the Makers Mark flavored cigar its wonderful!!!!

La Tradicion Cubana. At three bucks a pop, they're an absolute steal. I have introduced noobs to the world of relaxation with this cigar. They're perfect for everyone - from curious beginners to the super-pimp aficionado types.

I would ask him to come with you for a little ride to a B&M and once your there you walk around the cigar room, and you say to him, oooh i'd get that one thats good, and then another cigar ooohh thats a great one you should try it. once he will get the hang of buying cigars he wont be so dependent on you. And then lets hope you get him hooked. hey yah never know.

That's exactly what I was thinking: break the ice with him in a B&M and he'll either sink or float. Remember, a lot people who dig these flavors usually graduate on to bigger and better. Especially the ladies.

flavored cigars? what are they? NEVER HEARD OF EM!

[AD720]

How about Cuban Honey's?

They come in under $2 a piece and are a real flavored cigar.

I think the JAVA is one of the best flavored cigars. Although I wouldn't buy these unless you want to spend over a hundred on this purchase, other wise go for it. I would either buy a box of Isla Del Sol (coffee with sugar tip) you can get a box for like $40 I think or another good one is CAO Moontrance (I believe its rum and honey?) you can go at cheap as getting a $15 tin of 10 little guys.

That's all I know but I would add, you should take him to the b&m though, unless you want to always be bringing cigars whenever you go. Or you could have a new friend to trade with.
