Kicking the infused habit except Kuba Kubas
 
Well I love Acid Kuba Kubas, but my husband doesn't like smoking with me if smoke anything infused. I like more mild smokes ie Illusione MK Corona, Oliva Serie V. What else you recomend I try? Nothing too long, or else I would get bored.

Any help would be great thanks. :)

Hey now.. you smoke what you like and like what you smoke. :)

One of the milder smokes I've actually liked was a "Helix Blue". I prefer full bodied smokes but that one was a nice change of pace.

Grab some Hemingways, still one of my favorite smokes, bonus points if you can find the maduros(my all time favorite, they're like smoking a chocolate bar :dr), not exactly mild, but if you can handle an Oliva V, you can handle those no problem.

Montecristo white #2's! You can find them for cheap on cigarbid.. Also I like the Hemmingway maduros as well.. They are kinda tough to find!

I figure it'll just be posted here at some point?

Also, I kind of side with you husband on this one. The smoke from those Blue band Acids are...how do I say this...hippy smelling. But, if you like it, smoke it. All that matters is your opinion. As for mild smokes, my favorite is the MOW Virtue. It's a fairly mild stick with some solid flavors. The 3 that I've smoked have been very consistant, as well

It's not a regular print. It may go a couple of months before being sent out. Just be patient and it will arrive soon.

You guys are a trip with this newsletter.

When I joined last month I saw mention of it in a thread which lead to me searching old threads for a couple of hours on my phone (because that's the only inter-webs I had at the time) before I finally figured out what the newsletter was all about. :bhd

That information should just be easier to find so one doesn't lose a whole night looking for it or harder to find so I would have broke down in frustration and finally asked about it.

It's good information but man you guys like to hold it close to your chest.

QFT, CAO moonstruck, or moontrance or whatever are even worse when she smokes em, it's like a vanilla air freshener trying to cuddle you on the couch.

For mild to mediumish smokes i like the CAO gold label robusto and perfecto construction is a little hit and miss IMO though oliva G and O are worth a shot too.

Though really as you hold his balls in your relationship as all women do you should tell him you'll smoke whatever you want and if he dosnt like it he can go inside and make you a sandvich

I have an old copy from 2011, when we herf I will give it to you. Still has a ton of good info. The blind review that Pnoon did on a Gurkha is priceless, he loved it!



The Acids are a gateway cigar :r

Re: Kicking the infused habit except Kuba Kubas
 
I never really minded when my wife smoked her infused stuff. I actually really enjoy what some of them smell like, I just can't stand the taste. It didn't really interfere with whatever I happened to be smoking.

To get back to the original post, I wouldn't really consider the Illusione mk or the Oliva V to be mild smokes. If you like those, try the Illusione cg:4, AF Hemmingway, AF Chateau Sungrown, and the Undercrown.

They are, to Gurkha's

La Aurora's base line (Cameroons) are tasty and a relatively mild smoke. At $2-4 a stick, they are also a good everyday cigar.

I few suggestions for you still under the drew estate umbrella:

ACID One - This ACID is non aromatic ie smells like a traditional cigar when smoking but it is infused with 5 central american wines including sangria. My personal fav of the ACID line.

Drew Estate Naturals are a mild/med smokes with a pleasant aroma.

Tabak Especial Colada or Negra. Again a pleasant coffee aroma that your husband may be more acceptable towards.

Lots of mild cigars to consider. One thing I have noticed in the industry is a lot of mfgs are adding Connecticut wrapped cigars with the mild yet flavorful profile.

Good luck and enjoy trying new cigars.

:r:r:r

My friends staples are 90% infused. When he smokes the blue labels I sit behind him or next to him (opposite of the wind flow). If it gets in my face it ruins my experience. Literally disgusting to me.

Wow...I sound mean :gary

If the smoke stays out of my face, it's all good :tu

Sounds good. I haven't tried a Gurkha yet...I feel like I shouldn't either...:r

Everyone should try a Gurkha!





Once

I didn't have any huge problems with the 2 I smoked, they were both underwhelming and the money would have been better spent elsewhere, but you kind of have to just to see what the fuss is about.

Back on topic, the wife basically just doesn't like anything that makes her mouth burn. She's one of those people that orders extra mild Mexican food. Even a few of the acids were too much for her.

For milds in the Oliva line, I'd recommend the G or Connecticut instead of the V. Flor de Oliva is another mild smoke with a sweetened tip, which you might enjoy, but is not infused, so your husband won't complain. La Aurora also puts out some tasty mild blends with nice aromas.

CAO gold robusto's! Nice tasting mild smoke... I think the CAO OSA cigars are on the mild, fruity side too and produce a nice aroma
