Need Suggestions for Charity Gift Basket

[Hardheaded]

I did not plan on going with just top shelf cigars. I want a good mix of everything, but I mostly have a bunch of real cheap knock around cigars and a decent high end supply. All of my middle of the road stuff is either full bodied or gifts / bombs and those stay mine.

Thank you all for the brand and size suggestions. I had not thought of some of those and did not think of size at all. I also did not think of snacks to pair with it either, so those will probably get added.

After talking with my wife more it seems like the people at this event usually have cash to burn. Very much an upper-middle class and up crowd. Tickets alone are $60 each, which is quite a bit for as small as the event is.

Thanks for all the help bums.

I used to go to these types of things when I worked my old job in the finance field. I bought a safari for 2 in Africa for 2 weeks. There was tons of other cool stuff too. I think I got a Tiffany's Clock too, and some ish from Sur La Table that I've never used. If the crowd is expecting to pay money, I'd give it mostly mid-top tier stuff. Like others have said, big brand names, but maybe something that is solid but "flashy" too, a weird shape, or something like a Between the Lines that is more expensive, but totally looks sweet as well.

If you're putting in scotch and not Pabst, I'd assume you'd do the same with the cigars. Aficionado or not, the winner is gonna want to feel like they got some baller-ass cigars. Big names, double bands, that type of stuff. If you could stick a CC or two in there it might draw some eyes (and dollars$$$) as well. One could always play it off like "we just had some cigars donated, didn't know at all what they were" should the wrong type of prying eyes come asking.
