Does your friend smoke cigarettes? If not, I agree something mild, but if so he might like something that is stepped up a notch on strength and flavor.

This thread reminds me an after school special where the drug dealer slowwwwly introduces the kids to drugs to get them hooked. LOL

Casa Torano. As mild as Macanudo with 3x's the flavor.

Another vote for the Conny/Cameroon wrapped sticks. On the mild side, I'm a fan of the Casa Torano, Fonseca and Oliva G or Connecticut. Also, would recommend going with a smaller RG or shorter vitola.

no he doesn't... he's had a cigar or two over the years (back in the college days), but it's been quite a while.

it's funny after reading what everyone suggested, it's like "duh" that would have been good, or that, or that... thanks guys.
