Flor de Oliva (not Maduro, Gold, or Corojo) is a good bundle choice... sweet (usually a boon for first-time smokers), but not as sweet as something like Baccarat or Diamondback. At $35/bundle for Toro or Robusto you won't feel bad if they get pitched, and they're not so offensively sweet that you yourself won't want to smoke anything that's left after the weekend.

That said, I would avoid the Torpedo and Short Topedo... they are prone to being EXTREMELY densely packed near the tip to the point of needing a draw tool to open them up.

If you're looking for something FUN instead of GREAT for the groom, you might consider the Flor de Oliva Giants 1066, a 10" x 66 ring version of the same Flor de Oliva... $44 for a bundle of 8.
