You're getting some very good advise on cigars today. I'm not an expert by any means. But if your husband wants to Truly "Impress" a client. Here's my two cents worth.:
Hoyo de Monterrey - Excaliber Number One.
Big, (Huge actually) Mild, and Fairly inexpensive. You can pick them up at "e-gars.com for under five bucks.

I have a big antique wood and glass humidor that holds 200 boxes and several nice small wooden humidors. The smaller wooden ones will do fine and can be purchased online on sale for less than 100 bucks. Get a nice humidifier device and a digital temp/humidity reader. Some already come with those.

I have a collection of old smokes from the past 10 years including Cubans etc. I just let them age. Cigars will age indefinitely given proper care and they get much richer in taste.

I hate to bring this up but one of the world's greatest cigar collections is held by Al Goldstein of Porno fame. He is a despicable charlatan but he has a cigar selection to drool over. I would imagine Google could find some articles on his walk in humidor and 1000s of boxes of vintage Cubans and whatnot but you'll have to wade thru a lot of trash if you type in his name to be sure...LOL.

Try thompsoncigar.com. They are based in Tampa and have a terrific selection and a great catalogue. I order both A Fuentes Double Chateau and H Upman Churchills from them. They deliver quickly and the cigars are always fresh. Both of these cigars are medium strength. They are not so strong that they will turn off the occassional puffer but they have enough body and character to please the daily smoker.

I would suggest going with Macanudo. They consistantly rank among the top favorites and they are generally well received by even the most experienced cigar smoker (although some prefer a bolder cigar than the usual Mac). They are a medium to mild cigar (although they also market a more robust line), and their quality is very consistant (I can only think of one time I had one that was poorly constructed and gave me problems smoking it).

My Favorite is the Ashton Cabinet series. Good Wrapper. Good oil. And it smokes really well, right down to the stub. There are about $12.00 a piece, but worth it.

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