The other day I bought a Arturo Fuente Don carlos , which I have never smoked before. I liked everything about it except for the cow poop taste in my mouth.
After smoking this cig I actually had to sit down for a bit, felt really good though.
I know that there probably are people that enjoy these, but right now being a noob to cigars I want something more on the mild side to start with.

Any recommendations?

My favorite so far are the Padron 64, Hemmingway.
Another one you might like, very affordable are the CAO Black, very nice, not that fancy.

but if i want to treat myself, a P64 it is.

Maybe you shouldn't smoke after you've been fertilizing the flower bed ... or at least wash your hands first.

Mabye try one of these:
5 Vegas Gold
Carlos Torano Exodus silver
Fuente 858
Montesino
Perdomo Lot 23
Rocky Patel Vintage
Sancho Panza Double Maduro

Since you liked the flavor of the Don Carlos, try Fuente's La Flor Fina 8-5-8 in the natural wrapper. At about $4 MSRP, it's a best buy, and I think you will like it. To me, it's a poor man's Don Carlos. If you can't find any at your local b&m, send me an e-mail or a pm and I can help you out in a week or so.

my suggestion is to shoot me your addy and we'll see what we can come up with... :grin:
So what exactly would you want my address for? My mom told me never to give that out. :nono:

Sounds good compared to the price the Don Carlos go for a the local smoke shop. Can these be found on a website or are you a dealer?

Nope, I'm not a dealer, just a cigar smoker. Fuente 8-5-8's can be found at lots of internet websites and are likely to be in stock at any decent-sized b&m that carries Fuente smokes. BTW, if you are going to buy cigars on the internet, you will want to book mark this website:

In answer to your other question, within cigar groups like this, people will ask for your snail mail address so that they can send you unsolicited gift packages of cigars from time to time, also known as "cigar bombs."
