What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

Had an Oliva V the other night and wasn't really impressed. Aside from that, it also knocked me on my butt for the night. I know, I'm weak :D. I also don't smoke much. While I still love the Special G's, I think I'm going to stick to the milder cigars for now.

I like Fuente Hemmingways. I had a CAO Gold and it was pretty boring, not much flavor. The Macanudo I tried however (gold tube, don't remember the line), was quite tasty. Based on this, what do you think I should try next?

Devil's weed is the first mild yet full flavored stick that comes to mind.

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

I haven't found too many mild smokes that I find flavorful. 5 Vegas Gold, CAO Gold, Cu-Avana, and RP Connie's aren't too shabby. Give me a maddie anyday.

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

Cusano Double 18 and Perdomo Champagne are both good.

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

Oliva Connecticut Reserve Lonsdale

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

Tatuaje's new El Triunfador line is pretty mild and very yumm.

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

As for myself, and I'm sure some folks may disagree, I like Don Diegos and they come in a huge variety of vitolas.

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

Try to get your hands on some maduros. The Special G maduro is pretty tasty.

For CCs Id recommend Por Larranaga and La Gloria Cubana.

I'm in your profile, although I do like the Oliva V, only the figurado version for some reason doesn't kill me with the nic. The following cigars based on your post may be in your profile and are mild to medium depending on individual tastes.

NC
mild in no real order
AF WOAM
Oliva Master Blends 1, 2, 3 with 1 and 3 being the best
H. Uppman Vintage Cameroon rubusto (gets a bit boring longer than a rubusto)
Oliva G either N or M (again, I like the shorter versions over a churchill)
Sol Cubano Artisan
Padron 64 series

medium? in no real order
AF Chateau Fuente King B
AF Chateau Fuente Queen B
AF Rosado
RP Sumatra (discontinued but still around)
Punch Gran Puro Libertad

CC
Trini Coloniales
EDRM Choix

Again, they work for me. Have fun sampling.

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

Some of my favorites are Montecristo White, 5 Vegas Gold, and RyJ Reserva Real.

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

AVO :tu

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

Hmm Monte White - super mild with great flavors, I had forgotten about this one. A bit more than I care to spend on a daily smoke. It may be time to get a pair from the B&M.

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

Cruzado: Medium, but full of flavor
Tatuaje: RC, Gran Cojonu

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

+1. The Cusano 18 is the cigar that shoved me down the slope...

Another CC suggestion: HdM Epi 2.

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

It's is interesting how tastes vary... I never thought of AF WAOMs or Padron 64's as particularly mild. I would call them medium or medium to full; the WOAM in particular has a lot of nicotine. They are very nice cigars though!

It's been too long since I have had a mild cigar and I can't think of any... :)

I'd actually suggest the Classic. It's probably more of a mild-medium, but the Gold was like sucking on a straw, IMO.

QDO Corona. Mild but flavorful. This has to be my favorite morning cigar with coffee.

Another budget suggestion:

La Vieja Habana - great flavor in a cheap stick!

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne - mild but with a real nice flavor:tu

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

Butera vintage are my favorite morning cigar. Go great with coffee.

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

If you like mild smokes with tons of flavor CCs are the only way to go, IMO.
El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme or Lunch Club
Punch Punch or Coronas
La Gloria Cubana Medaille D'Or #1, #3 or #4
Are all good places to start.

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

Lots of good suggestions here. A few that haven't been mentioned that I really love are: Sancho Panza natural (I like the box pressed Valiente), CAO CX2 and Brazilia box pressed (might be more medium, but very smooth and flavorful).

Re: What are some mild but flavorful sticks?
 

If I'm looking for a mild non-Cuban cigar, it would have to be a Cabaiguan (stay away from the Guapo and maduro lines, as they tend to be a bit punchier)

As for the forbidden island, it's QdO all the way. However, the younger they are, the stronger they smoke.
