Cigar recommendations - part 2

[Texican]

A while back I asked y'all to recommend cigars to me. I mentioned that I would prefer "mild/medium" sticks I believe. You made some wonderful recommendations, many of which i ordered and tried! A lot has transpired since then and I am once again seeking your advice. This time with no restrictions save for one: please nothing that is an outright nicotine bomb. I usually only have 1-3 sticks a week, which for me isn't often enough to handle a beastly stick without getting sick yet. But as far as country of origin, wrapper type, etc...go wild.

Your input will determine my next order, brethren!

I guess to be more specific, what is a stick or sticks that you think I absolutely HAVE to try?

I apologize in advance if I've already tried something you recommend...my first couple of orders were a really diverse selection of popular sticks aimed at trying to discover my palate (Oliva Serie V, Le Careme, R&J, Hemingway, etc, etc).

Illusione epernay is the perfect mild smoke. I would even say tatuaje original ME is one the mild flavor side but probably packs a bit of nicotine.

I second the Illusione Epernay, and would add the Caldwell "Long Live the King" Heater .

Dang! Just tried the Epernay yesterday, and the LLTK is already in my 'tup.

It was really good. Mild but complex.

Did you try the maestro del tiempo yet? Also give the Southern Draw "rose of Sharon" a go. And honestly dude, from what you're telling us, it's probably time for you to dive into CC.

I have a Maestro del Tiempo in the 'tub right now. It just came in a couple weeks ago (and I only ordered a single), so I'm giving it a couple more before I smoke it. Never tried any Southern Draw...ill pick one up this order! Oh I agree about CC though...i still dream about the Siglo IV that I had years back. That was next level.

Viaje Exclusivo Nicaragua Leaded Robusto, LAT Animal Cracker 550, and Caldwell Savages CG - IIRC the Savages is an LLTK with a different wrapper leaf

Sign up on small batch and watch their deals. You can try all sorts of fivers. My current favorites are Warped, Bespoke, Black label trading company, but the options are endless, they often have samplers so you can try several of a brand.

I have really fell in love with the Caldwell Midnight Express and The T. I've also found the Tabernacle Havana CT to be pretty excellent.

For old standards Drew Estate Under Crown is pretty popular. The Arturo Fuente Don Carlos and Hemingway Maduro are hard to beat classics. Also Perdomo Champagne line of cigars are pretty good and easy to find.

The Roma Craft Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion is also a great smoke.

Haven't had a Midnight Express in quite a while, very good cigar. The Foundation Tabernacle Havanna CT is excellent for sure.

If you like the Epernay try the Fume d' amour line. I recommend the Lagunas or Concepciones. Like the Epernay, They are blended without ligero.

I’ll add to my list above, LAT identite while you still can

Rich flavor, but on the milder side of things:
-Roma Craft Intemperance EC
-Dunbarton Sobremesa Brule
-Crowned Heads Luminosa
-Warped La Colmena
-Charter Oak Connecticut
-Caldwell Eastern Standard
-Foundation Tabernacle CT

Medium:
-El Gueguense
-Warped La Hacienda
-Warped Futuro
-Cornelius & Anthony Cornelius


Also, if nic-kick is a problem, try drinking a sugary soda while smoking. I like root beer, cream soda, or Dr. Pepper, personally. The sugar will help cancel out the nicotine.

try the Patina Connecticut. the maduro version is killer, but full-bodied, so you might not like it as much.

Excellent choice.

Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu
Roma Craft Cromagnon
Crowned Heads La Imperiosa
La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Reserva

I've been rolling my own for a while now but when I buy a commercial stick, those are the ones I look for.

Enjoy the search, there is so much goodness out there to be smoked!
