Herf etiquette

I'm hosting a party for some of my old hockey buddies. There will be maybe six of us who smoke cigars and I've invited them to help me thin out my humidor. Should I choose a selection of sticks for them to choose from or should I let them pick from my humidor? I'm just wondering what is considered kosher in the cigar world.

    Depends on how good the friends are ;)

    You could go either way, depending on your generosity and size of your inventory.  I'd be inclined to set out 3-4 times the number of people, say 25 cigars and let them choose.  That way you get to hang onto the sticks that have sentimental value, and you get to set the value/quality of the sticks being handed out.

    BTW... you haven't replied to my PM, buster.  :smile:
    Sure I did.......(just now:)

    I was thinking along those lines, @peter4jc
    Still learning the ropes so I figured I'd ask. I have a feeling most of them will grab the largest ring gauge sticks because it seems to be the 'in' thing.

    The great thing about the cigar world is that while there are some definite etiquette faw poes, for the most part it's such an inviting and accommodating culture that it's hard to screw up real bad.  If it's an honest mistake, you get a free pass.  If you're with good people, they'll not assume the worst and give some honest advice.

    For me, take what you want. 

    You could fill a 20 count and have everyone choose from there. That way you know what is there and they feel like they get to sort through on their own. I'd put a mix of good, better, best and then you can all feel good about it with no worries.
