HELP with CIGARS

Friends birthday party. I'm uneducated. Willing to spend like 15 bucks but going for variety as in many cigars. Can range from fruity to real tasting cigars. Going for cheap cigars like white owl, game, and black and milds, but also some fair priced ones, and some REALLY GOOD expensive ones (like 1 or 2 of those).

in other words, I need help not just on the cheap cigars that you all hear about, but the stuff you dont hear about that costs more and is better

If you want flavored cigars, the only ones that aren't 100% trash you are supposed to dump out, are black and milds. If hes going to dump the contents out, grab Wine, Green Grape, White Grap Game's.

For the good cigars, I recommend Acid, Ashton, Diamond Crown... your only gonna be able to grab 1 or 2 of these for $15 though.

Brian knows what he's talking about, if you're willing to spend alot, about 12-15 bucks a stick, get him an Ashton Fulton, (there's no flavoring to them, but they're pretty good) Macanudo, Acid, etc. it all depends on what you can get, but if you wanna buy him good cigars, don't buy him White Owls, Swishers, Dutches, etc. unless he's rolling a blunt
 
Yea haha, $15 will get you about nowhere, if you want multiple GOOD cigars. A good cigar, depending on the size, will run you around $7-$20 ($20 for the best). Cuvee blanc's are real good for somebody who doesn't smoke a lot, since they're pretty smooth and tasty. The casa magna colorado robusto is real inexpensive too (around $5) for how good it is. I'd recommend those, or as brian said, an ashton or an acid. If you're friend rarely smokes, get him some acid's, since they're known for their taste.
 
Any type of acid in particular? (Yeah I know you can't get a big variety, I'm only getting 1 really good one). I have a Whole sale candy and tobacco store. (the candy is whole sale, and it has a pretty fair selection of cigars) I need something really good, that is common enough to more than likely be there. Why even buy flavored cigars if your going to dump them?

Dude pretty much any of the Acids are good. I like the Kuba Kuba and Blondies in particular. I also prefer to go for smaller sizes, like 32cc, sometimes the bigger Acid's irritate my lips, i dunno why.

Flavored cigars are made to smoke weed out of. The tobacco is seriously like cardboard and wallpaper. I've lit up a Phillie, Dutch and Game before and they taste like straight shit. You can't go into a legit cigar shop and buy a fruity flavored cigar in a humidor, they just don't exist to my knowledge. Tobacco shops tend to have them behind the counter with the cigs are stuff, because it isn't quality tobacco. The closest you get to flavored is stuff like Acid cigars, they kinda have sweet tips to them.

Putting this out here, he never gets to smoke cigars. I think he took a hit of a peach cigar when he was 10 or something. So, he's not really a judge right now.
Regardless, they taste like shit. The only time flavored cigars taste good is when your slobbering your tongue all over it so you can crack it open.

Even when I thought Games and Dutches were "good" cigars because they had leaf wrapping, I could tell anything like White Owl, Phillies, etc. were floor sweepings to say the most. Get him an Acid, that was the first good cigar I've smoked, and I'll take one of them over just about anything else.

Haha games and dutches are "good" compared to phillies and white owls, but they are also probably like 50x as bad as you because of the leaf on them. You can roll the leaf off of white owl phillies too but not worth it one bit, its a bitch haha.

Haha, or just save that dollar you spend on a white owl toward something worth it. I remember when I first started with cigars I nabbed a white owl peach and took that shit outside. The smoker bite hit me about 1/8 of the way into the cigar, and I just kept at it, it was so disgusting and bad by the end I went inside and puked all over the place hahahahaha
 
Alright I think I got most of it figured out. I'm spending more money than that and getting 2 quality cigars (and another 1 for free from a friend.) Throw in a game white grape just for the hell of it and just toss in packs of black and milds.

What all black and milds should i get (buying more than 1 pack, so maybe flavors) and uh.... wood tips?
