christening cigar

[Reaver2145]

Wait if your budget is 2-300 then a box or two of either.

Bolie gold medals

Or

Magnum 46 / connie 1s


They are all a great bet IMO the upmanns are creamy and smooth and the bolie is everything a bolivar is with some honey sweet notes too.

OH nice one! I think I paid around ?50 for the razor so it should be reasonable? It's one of the german blades.

Personally with your specifications I would grab a box of QDO Corona

They are such a classy cigar, rich sweet toasted tobacco with oodles of class. Like a heavenly blend of Cohiba and Hoyo de Monterrey. I'm saving my way up to grab some boxes to store away as the only get richer with age! They are medium to mild also so no one will go about falling over or going green, the box is simple and class and the band is my favourite out of the whole cigar world, just simple and elegent.

well I quite open to size as long as big enough to convince the general public thats smoking that is a real cigar hence the size issue not wanting too small.
On the the straight razor issue if you send it to me I will get it up to a decent standard for use as long as not the hamlet version of a razor if so you can have something out of my rotation for the foreseeable.
The budget is actually a quite healthy 200-300 quid max whch I think is good as I will only get one of them.(looking for 25 ish box)

Yes I am a cheap bugger

[CaptainQuintero]

I have a straight razor that I use on and off, more off than on after cutting a bloody great big chunk of my face off last year

What are your parameters for your purchase? Size, strength, number of cigars, what you would like to spend etc? We'll get you sorted out with some good cigars that people will remember

[pedro]

I dont suppose anybody wants a straight razor mentor or even double edge (think of the long term saving) Nah I am actually only kidding kind of.
But think I might sell off one or two of my collectables and fund a lot better purchase.

[CaptainQuintero]

Every Monte 5 I've ever had has been fantastic construction! If anything I never buy Monte 4's because of their much maligned quality control!

[Reaver2145]

Im going to say montie 4 as the construction on the 5 is just awful IMHO it goes from good to bad more often than a motorway hooker.

And if you give people guantanimos they will never forgive you.

[Sligub]

Monticristo no 5 maybe

[Sligub]

Just take the band off the good ones for the smokers, the non smokers won't know or probably care they will appreciate the gesture.

[pedro]

These are a bit bigger and you get a plastic tube but, well they are not up to the quality of the El Ray Del Mundo

I got to smoke one FFS


Can no being be handing one kind out and pulling siglos 2 out of my pocket for myself

Tiny bit bigger than the el ray de mundo demi tasse though

[Sligub]

I would strongly advise against the guantanamera I bought some as decoy smokes and ended up tossing them after trying one. They were the worst cigar I've ever tried and I didnt want to put people off my hobby.

[pedro]

cheers for the suggestions so far guys some of them or most will not be smokers but it is for the one or two that will that stops me going too far down the cigar chain, plus the fact I have to smoke one myself . The Tubo idea is good but the main point is for people to smoke at the time not buying one fro every mail as would be in the hundreds then

[CaptainQuintero]

These are a bit bigger and you get a plastic tube but, well they are not up to the quality of the El Ray Del Mundo

Great little smoke that won't make anyone blow chunks and if there are and serious cigar smokers even they will appreciate them. If I showed up at an event and was given one of these I'd be chuffed to bits.
