agree Steffen Walter: Except that I find the German spelling "Cigarre" very strange - it's just so 19th century.

agree HeinrichB: Wd suggest 'from a selection of three' to clarify that the selection of the sampler was made by the host, not the guest; 'choice of three' suggests the guest can choose three cigars; 'one from a choice of three' = confusing, at least to me
