Punch London Club
I started smoking cigars 12 years ago, right before the cigar boom, and did a pretty good job of not being robbed too much by the pricing gouging that went on. Whenever there's a special event that requires cigars I get asked what to get. Here's my recommendation:
They're priced really well at Holt's ($1.15 per cigar.) At 5 inches with a 40 ring gauge (2/3 inch diameter,) they don't take too long to smoke (about 30 minutes.) They've got a full flavor, but their small size keeps them from being overpowering. Additionally since some people feel bad about "wasting a cigar" because they don't usually smoke, at a buck a pop, no one's wasting anything.
