[tetraplegic]

I'm looking for a good but not too pricey medium bodied cigarto get my dad for his b-day. I'm lookin' to spend like $20 for a 5-er. I know he likes Ashton VSGs and Davidoffs.... any suggestions?

Fuente Chateau Natural for a shorter stick, Double Chateau for sometime more time consuming. I give them alot and haven't had a dissatisfied receiver yet.

Several good Carlos Taranos, I like the Signature line. Darker stick, but lots of flavor, but not a heavy hitter in terms of light-headiness. usually can get the robusto size for about $4 each and my B & M. Got a 25 ct box off cbid for $70, less than 3 per stick.

yup.. Torano signature robusto is among my favorites.

Gurkha Regent Toro would also be a good choice. This box pressed is one of my go-to gars.

Agree with the CTS, great Cigar that I wish I had more of......

H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon would be a spicer (on the fulller side of Medium) alternative, it isn't too strong as not to be enjoyable if you're looking for medium bodied.

AF 858 Natural or Maduro
AF Chateau Fuente Maduro or SunGrown
Maria Guerrero (Toro or Robusto)

RPV 1990 EURO'S have quite light wrappers, but are a great smoke. I had my first of 4 last night and even though i havent had too many cigars, I'd go as far as to say that this is now my fav. Very smooth. Never felt harsh at all, no more how many times i puffed it. Tasted quite good too.

I think it is $25 for a fiver on CI.

Just because you didn't like two you had doesn't mean they're bad. The one I had was lovely.

Yes it does.

RP sungrowns would be a pretty good choice.

The Chateau Fuente is a very good cigar indeed..

When I give cigar gifts of 5 or so, I like to give a brand sampler that comes in its own box. It's a much nicer touch than a plastic baggie with a smiley face.
Brand samplers can be had fairly cheap on the devil site.
The Victor Sinclair Bohemian 10ct sampler can be had for about 20-22 bucks and has a lot of eye appeal. Sure they're not Ashtons, but there's ten of 'em, we older guys appreciate quantity. Alec Bradley has a 5 churchill sampler that you can get for about 10 bucks on the devil site. The 5 Vegas sampler is nice too.
Or you can try something totally different and get him a Puros Indios Chief.

Whatever you get him, give him the gift of your time and attention. He'll appreciate that the most.
