I want to get cigars as a gift for a family member. I don’t know what they smoke but I don’t think they are what officianatos would consider “special” if that makes sense.

Something nice but not crazy - medium bodied. Something that you might only smoke on special occasions.

Thanks.

Find a Cuban or buy one that you watch get hand rolled, he would appreciate that. if those don't work go talk to some at a cigar shop. Can't go wrong with Auturo Fuente, Monte Cristo, Cohiba, Partagas, or Punch

I smoke cigars daily and love Padrons. Get a natural and not a maduro if he doesn’t smoke often. Maduros are heavier. They range anywhere from $8-$40 for a typical cigar shop selection.

Padron, Perdomo, & Ashton.
Can’t go wrong with those.

Arturo Fuente

I would ask for 8-5-8s. These are not the most expensive they make, but it’s a pleasant smoke.

I’m very simple and cheap. Also a rookie. But I usually always go back to AJ Fernandez New World (red ribbon)

These are all good recommendations (though you can get pricey with Cohiba).

I'm also going to add 5 Vegas Classic, Joya De Nicaragua, and my personal favorite, La Gloria Cubana (especially Serie R).
