When you are in the mood for a mild smoke, what do you reach for?

[McDuffie for Congress]

I guess the different cigars for different occasions place needs to be broken down.

Sometimes I am in the mood for a more mild smoke and I have thus far reached for Macanudos (a few different Macs).

I would like to branch out, so some suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

My go to mild cigar is the cusano 18 dbl conneticut...I also enjoy sherpa mystic dos capas( thanks for turning me on to those rob) and gisperts..not really sure what the actual name of the cigar is but every gispert that I have smoked have been very nice and mild..smooth...etc...just my .02 worth..len

Usually I'm not a mild cigar smoker, but when I am in the mood I love RP Conneticut. Also Ashton makes some great mild cigars. (Although if you want the Ashton flavor without the Ashton price I'd go with some Cusano 18s. To me they taste almost exactly the same.)

Lately it's been:

Drew Estates Chateau Real
Rocky Patel Connecticut
Shakespeare Vintage natural

We probably have different theories on what is mild.

My morning smoke is the Cuesta Rey Centrofino Sungrown, the Churchill #1. I want lots of flavor but dont want to be blown away after breakfast. This cigar does the job. An alternative is the Montesino Aged Cabinet Reserve Pyramids, a very interesting cigar with some Opus X in it.

Mild .... try the Fuente Don Carlos:glassesgr

Gispert (nat) and Casa Torano are my picks. Though I'd love to try Chateau Real one of these days.

[Trumpetchris]

Perdomo Champagne. One of the only Perdomos I like. Great mild stick. Also, gispert, and RyJ Bully.

[vperlman]

Gisperts are good, so are Mac's. Also, the Mexican Santa Claras are about the mildest cigar in the world, but pretty tasty. Having said that, I can't remember a time that I thought to myself, "Hey, I'd like something mild for a change!" :grin:

Cuvee Blanc

[njstone]

CAO Black (more medium, but very creamy and smooth--NOT the CAO VR!!)

5 Vegas Gold (cheapest, but good)

Rocky Patel Signature (hardest to find cheap, but the best of this list IMHO)

Rocky Patel Connecticut (excellent)

R&J Bully (tough to beat the classic!)


I'm told the CAO Gold is great, but haven't tried it yet. Also, H. Upmann is a nice mild-medium smoke, but it's been years since I had one.

Griffin's Classic is my favourite mild smoke these days, especially the perfecto.

I found the Gispert naturals are pretty good mild smoke!

Recently had a gifted Victor Sinclair Primeros for breakfast and was impressed. Won't make any judgements after one cigar, but I'd try it again with first cup of coffee.

[JgButler]

Quai d'Orsay Corona. Yummy!


:yes: :yes: :yes:

Definitely a very tasty cigar. Excellent for the morning cup of coffee!

[DocLogic77]

Ya know...I rarely reach for a mild smoke. I like em strong. With that said, when I do find myself in the mood...there might not be a better mild smoke than a LGC #4-2002. Light, sweet, fruity and floral. It's a great little mild smoke.

[DocLogic77]

:yes: :yes: :yes:

I will third this suggestion. Terrific cigar. The QDO corona is great with the morning coffee.
