mplaisted:I have a few buddies whose ideas of good cigars include Backwoods and Swishers. When they're over I usually offer them a cigar from the humidor and more often than not we usually end up on the back porch smoking cigars and drinking some beers. I try to give them something a bit mild but I'm more of a medium to full strength guy. One several occasions some of them have taken about 5 or 6 puffs on a good stick and then smashed it out in the ash tray. I have since tried to keep some inexpensive sticks on tap for such the occasion, but feel kind of cheap and think that if I gave them a good stick, maybe they would like it and smoke more than the first 1/2 inch. Does anybody else keep some inexpensive cigars in their humidor for similar occasions, or should I just quit being cheap and cough up the goods? If anybody does keep some cheapies, what owuld be a decent, inexpensive, mild cigar for those who don't smoke a whole lot?

They range from mild up to the ubber tasty Brazilian,There are many cheaper sticks in C.Com inventory that are tasty and that wouldn't have set you back too much, if one of your buddies does kill it before it's time.Give one of the Reps. at C.Com a call, explain your situation and they will offer some great advice. Good luck.Drop by the new members welcoming thread and introduce yourself. And most of all... WELCOME to the forums.

I still will smoke a backwoods while camping or something, they aren't all that bad, but I wouldn't give someone a cigar that has no respect for 'em, even cheap cigars are 5 bucks a pop. Maybe you should get a 5er of the CCom house blends Blue label. Their cheap and mild.

Maybe you should get a 5er of the CCom house blends Blue label. Their cheap and mild. This is how I feel about it. I know you don't want to be cheap, but if they put out a good cigar within five puffs and snuff it, that's wasting money and your stock.

I prefer that to the house blend. I found the brazilian blend a bit underwhelming.

They sound a little rude to me, if they refuse to try your premiums then just let them smoke thier backwoods.
