Re: A friend wants a cigar...
This might have been tacky, but a while back I had a couple of regular cigar smokers over. Neither of them had a cigar with them and so the smokes were my treat. They asked me to tell them what they could have; I said, "You can't have that one, or that one, or that one. Pick anything else you like." The "that ones" were a few expensive or special occasion sticks I was saving for myself. Dunno if they were put off by that, but it was my way of saving the ones I really wanted to keep, while hopefully being hospitable at the same time.
