Etiquette Advise & Recommendations
Long story short, I’ve casually smoked cigars over the last 25 plus years, but over the last six months I’ve gotten more into it and refined my tastes and started to stock my humidors (around 100) to reflect what I like. I’ve never smoke cigarettes or vaped (no judgment, not my thing). In my immediate friend group, I’m the only “cigar guy”. Everyone else generally smokes cigarette or vapes, but when I beak out a stick, I’m hit with “can I get/try one of those”. I have no issue sharing, but I’m also not made of money, and I shudder at the thought of handing over a $15-$20 stick to someone who will not appreciate or finish it. I guess what I’m looking for is some advise on what are some quality inexpensive smokes to keep on hand for those occasions and how to politely say, “try these” it’s not what I’m having but is a good stick, without seeming like a jerk.
