Can someone point me in the direction of a decent box of cigars for my wedding party next week? I want to get the boys something to have for my wedding day. None of us are avid cigar enthusiasts, but we casually smoke them a few times a year.

Also, if wedding is Saturday. Which day should I purchase/order? I do not have a humidor and do not want them to dry out.

Just get a humidity pack(Boveda) and stick the cigars in an air tight Tupperware.

These may be a good bet. With not knowing everyone's preference on cigars, this is a pretty good medium body cigar.



Personal favorites currently though are Oliva V and the My Father lines. There are a couple My Fathers that have been posted over the last few pages that are very solid smokes.

How much do you want to spend and QTY needed?

A box of Padron 3000 naturals would be great, and you'd have some leftover for yourself. Padron 3000s have been my go-to smoke for years. They are 100% consistent and always have smooth draws, which I feel is the primary concern of infrequent smokers.

A box of 26 normally runs about $210 from one of the online vendors.

Not sure. I know cigars aren't necessarily cheap. I normally spend $8-13ish on singles when I go buy some. So that times however many come in a box...?

All these are good. But, if you only need a smaller qty, you could always just go to a local cigar shop or Total Wines and pick up some cigars there.

And to your point about ordering in advance, for just a quick and easy option to store them for a couple days, this is a great option. Keeps things easier for you to not have to try and time things.

As also mentioned, a local shop may be a good bet as well if you only need like 10 or so cigars. If you want multiple for everybody, go for a box.

I use both of these and have had nothing but great experiences. FS gave me some issues one time a while back ago, but they made it right. Props to them. Fox is run by a guy that seems to care deeply for his business and his customers. I buy from them if everything is equal between the two.



Cigarbid is also a great resource. You can get some quality sticks on there cheap as well as accessories.

Was in Tampa this week and went to Ybor city and visited the JC Newman cigar factory there. i am a very occasional cigar smoker—average less than one a year.

I bought a box of Diamond Crown Maduro Robusto 5s and that is a very good cigar IMHO.

Anyone have that special cigar tucked away in your humidor waiting for that special occasion (wedding, promotion, big bonus, lottery, etc.) to light it up? If so, what is it? I’ve had a Padron 1926 Series 80 Years perfecto stashed away for about 2-3 years waiting for that perfect moment. I’d like to read what everybody chooses for that special occasion.

I had two cigars stashed from 2013 when my son graduated LSU, and we never had the opportunity to smoke them that night. When he turned 30 I decided let's smoke em. I also have some cubans that have been aging over a year now, maybe close to two years, that I'll take out when it feels like the time to do it.

If I were to choose a cigar to age, more than likely would be an expensive cigar for that special occasion. Mind you, the cigar flavor can change and mature quite a bit when aging.
