Recently, I put together my pass at work. One of my bosses walked in and noticed I was working on getting it all packed up and stated that he liked cigars as well. I said that was cool and went back to what I was doing. He then told me that he had some really "good" cigars from Hawaii that I had to include. I said the list was in stone and I couldn't add anything. He said that was fine but insisted that I smoke one of them with him. He handed it to me and immediatly I could tell I was in for trouble. It was the cheapest looking tube I have ever seen. Upon opening it I got slammed in the face with the smell of cheap coffee. I read the lable and figured out why I got this smell. The 'flavor' of said smoke was "Authentic Kona Coffee". Now I love me some authentic Kona but this was definatly not authentic. So I find myself in an interesting paradox.

How do I tell this guy next time that he's smoking trash? Is there a polite way you guys know of that has worked in the past? Also, how do I 'politely' opt out of his "premium" cigar?
 
Just say "Sorry, but this flavored cigar is not my cup of tea. Not trying to be rude, but....................."
 
I would just say that you don't like flavored cigars period. I cant stand them personally.
 
Next time, say you'll be happy to smoke one of his cigars if he'll smoke one of yours. Then...hand him an LFD Chisel. I'll bet he doesn't bother you again.


Doc.
 
Smoke it with him over a morning break. Go home sick. Spend the rest of the day smoking Fuentes, Padrons and Pepins. There's a lot of 'wins' right there.
 
The best thing to do is just politely accept with a (maybe insincere) smile and thanks. Then gift him some good cigars in return and hope that he sees the light and tosses those coffee-flavored things out the window.
 
What always works for me is take a puff and ask "was this cigar rolled or extruded?" Or else I could send you one of my gen-u-wine malamute dog rockets to leave on his desk, gua-ron-teed to taste like crap.

Ugh!!! I was wondering if anyone else had something like this:

I have one given to me by a supervisor. I don't keep it in my humi. You know that a box of these things (18) sells for $118 bucks? Crazy.
