I am still not sure about re-gifting though. I have done it, but only when it is something I had already smoked, or was (from experiences with others from that brand) a cigar I was pretty sure I wouldn't like.

On one occasion, I did give a gifted cigar to someone who was really excited that I had it, and really, really, really, really, really, wanted to try one. It had been around the block a few times in the traveldor and been passed by. I finally thought that if this person really wants it and will smoke it, hey, it was intended to be smoked.

Selling gifted cigars is in bad taste.

Re-gifting them to someone you know wants or would enjoy them is different. You are not making profit of you giving away a cigar gifted to you, and the whole reason cigars are around is for them to be enjoyed. I know that if someone gifts me a cigar I don't enjoy, I will either give it back (or in most cases where it cannot be done) pass it one to someone who will. There's no point in smoking cigars you don't like. Spread the joy and make someone else's day a little better.
