Is it appropriate to send a gift to an alumni after you meet face to face for an informational interview as a way of saying "thank you", or would this be viewed as silly and unnecessary? I was thinking some cigars. I am a student and cannot legally purchase alcohol, so that is out.

No, that is just weird
Don't bother. It won't likely score you any points and it may make the alumnus feel a bit awkward accepting a gift from a student.
Nope, don't do it.
Thank you for the advice!
