Graduation Right Around The Corner

Acasazza21

Hey Guys! 

With graduation right around the corner (BS in Marketing), I was just gifted a new humidor from a family member. I've smoked cigars as singles, but never consistently dabbled into higher end cigars. I was given a few nice cigars over the years and smoked them with friends and coworkers. I know I like Undercrowns and really enjoyed a T-52 but was wondering if you guys could make some recommendations on getting a few cigars to celebrate my college graduation with.

Congratulations on the graduation, and welcome to the forum.  If you want to celebrate marketing, look to Arturo Fuente Opus X cigars or Cohibas, they have a very high marketing profile that makes these choices prestigious, though probably not worth the high price.

Here's a list of our favorite cigars (Top 25 of 2018) that should get you started, many of these are boutique cigars, I wouldn't recommend all of them for beginners, but since you've enjoyed the T-52 I'd expect you to enjoy stronger sticks.

I appreciate it! I have a pending purchase of the Opus X Lost City which will be my first of the opus line!

Anything Padron

Ghurka Warlord, Alec Bradley Texas Lancero, Mark Twain Memoir No.1 would be a great place to start.  Look in Ratings & Reviews for more info.

I agree with @deadman, A Padron 1964 Anniversary will be my choice.

Padron or Davidoff.

I'm going to be Debbie downer and Buzz Killington in one.  I recommend buying the celebration cigar of your choosing, but save it in the new humidor until you land the job you want.  Then you celebrate like a boss with the cigar that's been sitting hopefully not that long.  Congratulations on what will be the first day of the rest of your life, it only gets better my friend!!!!!

Lol. Solid advice. Buy two celebration cigars.

Buy a box to celebrate this day for the next 20-25 years.

Best advice and it is solid as hell but most never listen.

2 routes with this one depending on your marital status

If your Single - Fuente, My Father etc. etc. Find a box on sale. You can still eat Ramen Noodles to off set the cost.

If your Married - $800.00 box of Cohiba Siglo IV's. You can get the divorce proceedings going and finalized by the time you start making bank. Instead of buying flowers, a large home and saving for your kids college fund you are now free to buy all the seegars you want.

This made me chuckle quite a bit. Not married but who knows how long until that changes between the girlfriend and I. She's a keeper for sure. 

She's not big on flowers anyways so more money for cigars! 

miller65rod

Keep it that way. Keep her in the know. Never hide a purchase. 

Do all of this and you will wake up every day feeling like Lionel Richie

If she's ok with the cigars and even goes so far as to help you out with them, best put a ring on that finger.
Most times I would tell a person to avoid marriage at all costs, but when you find keepers, well, keep em.
