A Gift Sampler I Made for My Wife's Boss - What Do You Think?

My wife recently informed me that her boss smoked cigars, and suggested I should give him some Cubans from my collection as a gift. "Wow" I though to myself "This is just the request I have been waiting for!" I then set out to assemble a small sampler which included 5 of the most iconic Cuban cigars of all time:

1. Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona
2. H. Upmann No. 2
3. Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill
4. Montecristo No. 2
5. Bolivar Royal Corona

Nothing super expensive, but I think it is a nice variety of top brands and a good mix of vitolas and strength profiles.

Hopefully he will enjoy and appreciate them. What do you guys think?

That's too bad. Any suggestions for improvement?

He’s going to think he’s overpaying your wife.

Hopefully not. lol. Too much you think? Maybe I should remove 1 or 2. But which to cut? Tough decision. (It would probably be the Montecristo No. 2, because my supply of those is lower than the rest.)

At the end of last year I sponsored a contest which gave away a similar sampler (link). I will probably do another contest at the end of this year. You are welcome to participate, just keep an eye out for it.

Looks very nice. Could use some Espinosa though.

I do like Espinosa. I heard they are coming out with a new release in the "Las 6 Provincias" line this year, so I am excited to try those when they are released.
