Calling All Cigar Aficionados- Advice Needed(Vanity)

Posted on 09/25/2002 7:53:09 AM PDT by yankeedame

Help! I need some advice from all you cigar aficionados. My husband is a new car/truck saleman for Dodge. To all his high end truck customers ($30K+) he gives them a fine cigar as a kind of lagniappe. He's been doing this for about 4 months now; a marketing promo I'll admit, but one that's been working out very well.

Now here's where I need the advice: My husband doesn't smoke. That being the case, the selection of cigars he gives away have been pretty limited to what-looks-expensive-and-cost-a-lot ($6-$19 per).I mean the selections are all over the board.

So, I would appreciate any suggestions and/or recommondations on what kind of fine cigar he should use; something he can stick with.

(If this would help: A general profile of these high-end truck buyers is male, 45+y.o., owns his own business, born and raised here in/around central Ohio area, and he may or may not smoke...but 99% of them will smoke a fine cigar, esp. if they got for free.)

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

No one seems to have mention Avo -- particularly the Avo Pyramide. These are excellent, though much milder than cubans.

I just booked a flight to Kona where my favorite tobbaconist keeps shop (OK so I have to make a customer call there anyway). I'll be lighting up a La Perla Habana Toro in two hours!

Actually, my secretary just reminded me that today is my anniversary and the wife's in Hilo on business until Friday. Since she enjoys an occasional Mac the evening is apparently shaping up nicely.

Serious question here. Is there any reason to keep cigars in the freezer at home?

I know someone that does but I never asked why.

Cigars are frozen when you are concerned about the presence of tobacco beetles. They need to be thawed slowly, though, or else the cigar will swell and split.

Cigars should not be kept in the freezer or fridge, though, for extended periods of time.
