    Had my first Cohiba Red Dot this afternoon. Burn was great, draw was good and it was a good smoke. Not sure that it's 400 bucks a bundle good, but if I can get them on Free Fall for a good price, I will definitely pick up more. Overall, it was an enjoyable smoke.

    I had this cigarillo this afternoon, it was pleasantly different; kind of like big red gum.

    Apparently it is its own breed, it’s supposedly based off of Fireball Whiskey.

    I got these supposedly 95 rated Oliva 2nds from Cigar Page, I am guessing they are Serie V’s

    There should a couple pages like these in there, most are in the $40-$60 range.

    In my opinion I would be happy with any of the below. You may want to find out if your target likes mild & bold stogies before buying though.

    A couple of questions first.

    Are these for a cigar smoker that has been smoking for awhile?

    Are these for a very occasional smoker?

    If you have seen this smoker, are the cigars being smoked a light or dark brown in appearance?

    These answers would help out in the selection.

    Nice to hear from you again, hope all is well.

    Yes...hi again....
    I'd say daily smoker of light color (cigar):rofl: :lol:
    Thought you were going to ask if he had dark circles under his eyes. An unlikely match (the puns never stop) as he's in Las Vegas...in fact the 5 Vegas I thought would be apropo....any good?

    5 Vegas is a pretty solid brand... Depending on how light he likes the 5 Vegas Gold and Anniversary are the lightest ones ...I've never really cared for a connecticut wrapper they tend to be pretty papery... But I'd venture to the 5 Vegas Classic... Its a medium and is pretty good... and its got a sumatra wrapper... for some deeper notes...
