Check out this thread.

since you dont know where to start, your best bet is to buy him a box of Flor De Las Antillas by My Father Cigars. it was cigar of the year last year and is a great smoke for a great price.
we're talking about a box of 20 for $140.
gift solved.

thanks guys I have a couple of popular choices I guess if I smoked I would have been able to try them first so im taking you gentlemens advise to heart maybe buy both thank you again tc

There are so many options. First, you will need to know what he prefers. Mild, medium, strong? Generally, it is most important to know if he likes a mild, medium or strong cigar, and then the choices begin. Here are my favorites:
1) Mild: I do not smoke mild cigars, but anything from Perdomo (they make many mild blends) is a decent choice. Ask the guy at the cigar shop for advice.
2) Medium: My absolute favorite medium body cigar is the Illusione Eperney. They are fantastic.
3) For a more full bodied cigar (sort of medium though), I LOVE the Arturo Fuente Anejo Reserva, No. 77 "Shark". It is only available during Christmas and Father's Day. It can be pricey, but everyone I know that smokes them loves them.
4) For an even more full body cigar, Try the "My Uzi Weighs A Ton" 6X60. DO not let the name fool you. This is an AMAZING cigar. They make a small cigar in a 5 pack called the baitfish as well. Another awesome choice for a quick smoke.
