Top 5 cigars for new cigar smokers. Wow is that a difficult question or what? Do you play it safe? Do you recommend what you like? Like it or not, for a friend that doesn’t smoke cigars, you are their expert. So you want to give them the best answer you can. So let’s take a look at the best way to steer them in the right direction.

A note about the prices I am giving. These are based on a box price divided by the amount of cigars in the box. A single stick at a brick and mortar might be a few dollars more, but should still stay under that $10 mark.
