Re: Best premium beginners cigar

Ashton Classic
Avo or The Griffins
Cabaiguan natural (a little heavier but still mild and oh so good)
ERDM Choix Supreme (if you're going that way)

:tpd: Cusano 18 was the one that got me started. Very creamy mild smoke.

If you're looking for a special smoke, I would suggest the AVO 787 perfecto if you can get your hands on one. Its flavorful with coffee and toasted notes but extremely smooth and very easy to handle.

Much as I hate to say it as I'm hacked at Pete Johnson atm, Cabaiguan natural would be hard to beat for an intro imho.

Re: Best premium beginners cigar

My first (early August this year) was an RyJ Numero Dos. Loved it.

I can't argue against any of these suggestions as I've not had most of them yet.

Re: Best premium beginners cigar

My vote would be the Cabiaguan, milder smoke with a slight complexity.

I hope to try the Perdomo Lot 23 next. This sounds like a good choice also.

+1 for the RyJ Reserva Real. This is a great, mild smoke with good, creamy flavor. I would also recommend a Don Diego... nice, mild cigars.

Re: Best premium beginners cigar

A lot of good suggestions above. If you can find one not too pricey, and want this to be a special occasion, you might consider Ashton VSG. Complex, not overpowering, and deceptively mild on the palate.

Re: Best premium beginners cigar

I started out on CAOs, Rocky Patels, Gurkhas, Torano, Oliva, and 5 Vegas. I still smoke many of these, too.

In my opinion, you should smoke what you like. If you like a $3 cigar, smoke them and don't let anyone tell you they're "cheap" or "for noobs" or some crap like that.

There are some $2 smokes that I truly love, and I think it's AWESOME. After all ... when you smoke a $10 stick, you expect to be blown away, but if you can really enjoy a cheaper one ... DO IT!!

In a way, I wish I had waited even longer to get into the really nice cigars, because no I'm spoiled and those are more expensive, lol!

Re: Best premium beginners cigar

I would say Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 or 1992.

But since its first cigar with dad, maybe something like Fuente Hemmingway Short Story! I have gifted some of these to first time smokers and have never had a bad review! I still smoke them on occasion!
