Best premium beginners cigar
My son decided to have his first cigar on Christmas Day with Dad
I smoke Full bodied cigars so I ask the experienced mild cigar smoker's here for some help in choosing his first box. If possible mild and not One Dimensional. Price not a major issue but no Davidoff's please. My thoughts are that quality not quantity is the way to start as this is what my Dad taught me. Thank you for your suggestions |

Re: Best premium beginners cigar
do you want mild in flavor or in strength (nicotine)?
Macanudo would be quite mild in flavor. Montecristo would probably be on the more medium side, but a good starter

Go Macanudo, you really can't go wrong with them.

Ashton Classics are good as well as RyJ's. Maybe some RP Edge lite's...

Re: Best premium beginners cigar
My first cigar was a Perdomo champagne and the second one was a Padron londres....I don't think you could go wrong with either of those.

Re: Best premium beginners cigar
One of the first banded (I could tell who made it) that I reallly enjoyed was a Romeo y Julietta Reserva Real. Smooth and mild (not harsh) with a medium body. Much more body/flavor than the Macanudo that I had before. I found the Macanudo was flat and 'one dimentional', and was dissapointed with it. I wanted MORE flavor! It was however smooth and mild.
I hope to try the Perdomo Lot 23 next. This sounds like a good choice also. Tim L. |

Re: Best premium beginners cigar
While some call them medium these are actually pretty mild and really a nice smoke with great draw and even burn at a respectable price:
H Upmann Vintage Cameroon cigars recall the distinguished quality and flavor of old Havana premium cigars. For over 150 years H. Upmann cigars have been highly respected among cigar connoisseurs and their Vintage Cameroon selection is absolutely outstanding, having received Cigar Insider scores as high as 90 and 92! This is a full-flavored blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Peruvian tobaccos precisely rolled into Grade-1 African Cameroon wrappers for a well-balanced, luxurious smoke with a wonderful aroma. |

Re: Best premium beginners cigar
My vote would be for a Monte White. It's probably toward a medium body but has a bit of complexity. The flavors are easy to pick up but it'll test your palate.
