If all else fails...

There's always the El Fuma del Suomi Ballaboosta Elegante Culebra with the fermented Turkmenistani llama intestine wrapper:

NOTE TO ALL UKCF MEMBERS: I would like to apologize to anyone who might have taken offense to my reply to kamkam. Admittedly, the picture of my infamous El Fuma del Suomi Ballaboosta was in poor taste; however it was not intended as an insult. If it was taken as such, then I am humbly remorseful.

Kamkam: My profuse aplogies to both you and your daughter. I assure you, no offense was intended.

Here are a professional's suggestions:

I would have thought it's hard to find a more apropriate brand for a wedding than RyJ: romantic connotations, wide range of sizes, reasonable prices for CC's & suitable for novice through to connoissure.

Depending upon how many smoker's you'll have & where the reception is to be held , you might shy away from something as large a the trational celebratory Churchill (could smoke the marquee out, or force a significant number of guests outside & away from the main party for too long).

How abot Short Churchills or, if they are available here in time, the new Julietta (33 X 5 1/4") - designed for women, but according to Simon Chase still a "serious cigar"?

How about don't offer everyone else, just take a selection and puff away. When they stare at it like they really want to try it offer them. Trust me, maybe they might not be like my idiotic friends but if you offer, they may think oh why not and end up ditching it after 5 puffs.

I'm planing on getting some nice RyJ for a friends wedding, Mild enough for none/occasional smokers but nice enough for seasoned smokers to enjoy. I'll buy a box of 25 with the intention of smoking a few at the wedding and then smoking the rest when the little bambino's start arriving leaving a few for the father to smoke with his sons/daughters on their eighteenth. No sure what size but it will be a choice between Churchills, short Churchills or maybe even some dukes.

I agree. When they're free they'll all want one. Then go at them like cigarettes, and totally waste them.

I would take a box of reasonable, light & cheap NC's and take some better ones for those who are more important to you or who show an aptitude/interest.

The other guys are right - I am pretty free with my cigars but I won't give them away to see a Party P2, for example, crushed out after 5 minutes.

How about some PLPC's or Party Shorts - small but excellent and maybe some P2's for those with taste & the important people!

Thank you.

The other guys are right

Lol thank you.

La Flor de Cano Selectos. These might be just the ticket if it has to be Cuban. A nice, light easy smoke, and not going to break the bank for a 25 box.

I'm with the other guys' on this one, in my humble opinion cigars at weddings are a waste of money, unless you know of a number of dedicated cigar smokes that will be there that will appreciate them.

I was going to have cigars at my own wedding last year, but didn't after being at a friends wedding a few months before. He had got some relatively cheap cigars to use as favours for the men and at the disco that night, you could still find them untouched all over the hotel bar and function room, or out in the smoking area where some moron had lit it, decided he didn't like it and STUBBED it out!

Like I said, just my own opinion - hope your daughter has agreat wedding anyway, and hope the bill isn't too big

Thanks for the input guys apart from rokkitsci who i think is a complete a???hole

KamKam, I am sure that Deano will pick up this post and confirm the brand he bought for his 17th Birthday party.

He was mindful of the 'had a drink and I'll try anything as I am a cigarette smoker scenario' only to find a couple of hundred quids worth dumped in the dahlias.

He found a perfectly acceptable Cuban box for his teenage chums to smoke and I am sure he will be right along to tell you what they were and where to get them, and if he doesn't I will PM him.

Then get 5 to 6 really good ones for those people who you know will really enjoy them.

Now a word about our American Rokit friend. In my experience every 236th post he puts up here is just total rubbish, you were the unfortunate recipient of one of these.
Most of the time he is a very kind hearted guy who knows lots about cigars so take this as a one off and move on I suggest!

Sure there will be some boneheaded guests who take one, puff a few times and discard, but then again, is this something you want to worry about on your daughter's wedding day? Get a decent box, offer them to your buddies who smoke, then let the vultures have the rest. If the box is to0 expensive for you to let go of it, then dont buy them in the first place.
