I need some info on good cigars. Not where to buy them per say but some specific brands and why they are good. As I have never bought cigars before I really have no idea what to look for. I want to at least get the bossman a gift I know he will enjoy... so please help. I know this is leaving itself open for snarky comments but I would appreciate it if the forum wise guys could restrain themselves.

The smoothest cigar for the best price I’ve ever had is “Omerta” by “Nat Sherman”. Robust flavor. Perfect for after a steak dinner with brandy!
I’ve never gone wrong with an H. Upman cigar.
Generally all of the top tier brands will be pretty solid though.
Cohiba, Onyx, H. Upman, Gloria Cubana, Monte Cristo, and Dunhill are all good.
The world is on fire and you are worrying about which cigar to get? Obama, is that you?
ping
and the first reply? Snark. Thanks for the suggestion but I really dont want anything to do with that particular SOB.
Cubans are the best, but alas..
The brand I had in England was Punch, with the exchange rate at that time, they cost $5 each. (1980)
First find out whether a mild, medium or full bodied cigar is enjoyed, Macanudo is good for mild to medium, Punch has a nice full bodied Maduro wrapper cigar. How much you want to spend? Go online to Cigars International or other sites and they can guide you.
life does go on... and I have my sotck of ammo and food so I have to continue to live. Yes there is big trouble in the world and I do what I can to help.... but there is only so much I can do.... and I still have to keep a roof over my families head and food on the table.... get real.
Does your recipient smoke cigars? If so find out what his brand of choice is, and SIZE, then buy him a box of ‘em.
If he does not smoke cigars you might want to get him a sampler of fine smokes in some kind of cute little humidor.
Personally, partner, am partial to Partagas.
Don't waste the money on a Cohiba unless it's from Cuba.
Find out what brand he likes and buy that cigar or go to a cigar shop and talk to the owner. The owner will know suitable cigars to meet his taste as long as you already know which ones he likes. There are a million cigars with different tastes. Finding out your boss’s favorite length, shape and ring size will be an added bonus.

Wow, you sound rich, are you married;)
I can afford steak or brandy (moderate priced) but not both. And, if I could afford both, I would have an Omerta.

Camacho Corojo Churchill (under $7)
and there ya go... ring size? shape? length? I didnt know there was a difference... a cigar is a cigar.... or at least that what I thought....
The “cant miss” cigar for your boss is anything from the Padron 1964 line....
E-mail freeper Tejano Slim. He’s never steered me wrong. Cigars vary in intensity and flavor, so its’ best to know why type your boss enjoys. For example, Punch cigars are usually very bold, whereas, some Macanudos can be very mild. Both are excellent brands. I prefer Macanudos and Avos, but Monte Cristo, Cohiba, Punch and Dunhill are all top shelf labels. Go to a reputable cigar store and ask the manager for assistance.
Artueo Fuenta Hemingway series... mild good smoking good flavor, not always available.
Avo, creamy bold w/ mild spicy flavor.
Dunhill, cadillac of cigar and pipe world, most expensive, but may be well worth it if you want to impress.
Punch of Nicaragua, bold spicy lives up to it’s name sake.
