Default Do we have any CIGAR connoisseurs ?

As a thank you to a friend of mine I'd like to buy him a box of cigars as I know he enjoys them greatly.

As a non-smoker I really wouldn't know what type to get him.

Can anynone recommend something and where to get them ?

Thanks in advance!

AFAIK, Cuban cigars are supposed to be the dogs... rolled on the sweaty thighs of Havanan (sp) ladies...

erhem, let me rephrase...

I don't wish to purchase the oldest cigars known to mankind, I want to splash say £50 and pick some up locally. Its only a small favour I want to repay - its not like he gave me one of his kidneys.

Where do you live? No doubt there is a tobacco shop (tobacconist) that specialises in tobacco and tobacco related products near you.

Try www.yell.com

cant beat monte cristos IMHO.
Beware of buying a dusty packet stuffed on a long forgotten shelf in your local newsagents as they will be stale,dry and horrible to smoke.
make sure they are either very fresh or out of a proper humidor in a good tobacconists
