Wedding cigars

[Iain21170]

Good afternoon everyone. I'm getting married in July, and would like to celebrate with a single malt and a smoke.

The majority of the guests who would like to join me are non-smokers or cigarette smokers, so a mild and/or sweet smoke might be the best idea.

Can any of you fine connoisseurs advise me on a nice, mild cigars to enjoy? I'm budgeting on ?10 (ish) a time.

Many thanks in advance.

Iain

hoyo de monterrey epicure no 2, try to find a box from 2013, these will be the perfect smoke for you and your guests.

So many non-smokers actually enjoy a cigar in times of celebration with friends - weddings, births, New Year, birthdays, stag nights, etc. I would make sure you budget for one cigar per male guest - some ladies love a cigar too of course and some men will refuse - so that number should be about right. Of course it depends how you 'sell' the idea of having a cigar to your guests. The time spent smoking cigars with friends and relatives will be a really social and memorable part of the day for many.

I suggest you up your budget to ?12 to ?15 per cigar. That will get you a fine hand-made cigar of a decent size. Make sure you have some plastic cutters and matches on hand.

Congrats bud. With a budget of ?10 per person, UK price, I'd probably recommend a Montecrsito No.4, if purchasing one per male guest. For your good self and best man (possibly grooms men too) I'd go a little more special and spend an easy ?15-?20 and upward even.

Like the others have mentioned I'd try and up your budget slightly.

I got in some Hoyo De Monterry Double Coronas for my brothers wedding, they can be a bit daunting due to the size but are a easy smoke for most.

Go with Robert's suggestion of ?12-15 per stick but realistically if you buy for half the men you'll still have some left, so spend same money on less smokes & the Monte No4 will go down fine; I gave one to an uncle at hsis daughter's wedding & even as a non -smoker he enjoyed it. Smoking something better with the groom I would suggest is best for the stag night, you are showing your guests a good time, smoke what you are giving them.

also have a think about how much time you and your guests will have to smoke them, try to give as much information to who ever you buy from so they help you choice for example if you only have half an hour to enjoy the cigar it would be a shame to purchase a stick that would only be half smoked
I also agree with Simon smoke what ever you are giving them

I agree mate with the other monte 4 with a bit of age on are wonders to smoke

Hi Ian. I have to say I find it unlikely that half of your guest will partake. In my experience it's usually a group of maybe three or four. Id plan for double that and maybe get six hdm Epi 2. You could always buy a couple of five packs of something really cheap like Jose L. Piedra Petit Cazadores as backup cigars should more people want to join in. I think I paid ?6 for five in Geneva, they can't cost much here.

Congratulations buddy.

Big follower of the Monte 4 here but another stick I do enjoy and very nearly touches your original budget at ?10.99 is the Hoyo De Monterrey Petit Robusto.

For me ticks all your boxes. Lovely mild smoke, looks good and it's a pretty quick smoke as well.

For a wedding, and with the majority being non-cigar-smokers, I would suggest that the 'look' is every bit as important as the cigar.

These are less expensive than than the Cubans being suggested, but the brand kudos is just as great — if not greater — and the smoke and draw are totally reliable.

Good shout, the little smoke I suggested as a backup does lack the wow factor of a longer cigar.

My two peneth, posted on your welcome thread then found this one:

Having been asked to get some cigars for both my neice's weddings is to get something everyone can enjoy and make them relatively short.

At most weddings you get a short time away from speaches, eating and drinking before the drunken dancing starts. Once everyone has had a few drinks they all think they want a cigar and light up, their better halves drag them off to dance and you can end up with literally hundreds of pounds of cigars lying in ashtrays.

So try something short and light so it's acceptable to everyone.

I'd suggest:

Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto
The new Por Larranaga Picadores
Punch Petit corona
El rey de Mundo Lunch club

And for the groom, best man and head usher A Partagas Culebras, three cigars twisted together which are a real talking point. I smoked one with my best mate and his best man at his wedding and it was wonderful.

Hope this helps

Good call on all of those types and sizes. At a wedding there will always be people who like the idea, smoke a third of it then leave it lying in the ashtray because they didnt like it, it was too strong or it was too big for a first timer.

Nice touch to have something special for the best man/groomsmen.

If you're not doing it yourself, remember to have someone on hand to show them the correct way to cut and light.

While down at Turmaeus' lounge recently I sat next to a first timer who didn't have a clue where to start. I cut and lit his cigar for him and he proceeded in taking a huge couple of lungfulls of smoke, sucking through the cigar like it was a snorkel (and then looking a bit pale!)
