I am new to smoking cigars. I have been smoking the milder cigars, such as Macanudo, Baccarat and Montesino. Any suggestions on other 'mild to medium' flavored cigars is appreciated. thank you.

V Centennial, Bauza or Partagas would be a fairly good jump to Mild to Medium. Maybe better try the Macanudo Robust line!

try Mayorga's. They are wonderful cigars and priced reasonable.

Mayorga and Flor De Oliva Grand. Padron, Perdomo2 or Dos Rios are also tasty, but not overpowering.

All of the above are really good smokes and I still enjoy the beauty of a Macanudo every now and then!

Macanudo? I don't know about that. I've never had one that was an easy smoke ... thought I was going to have an aneurysm trying to get smoke out of the last one ...

Ditto on the Mac comment, Duke of Devons and Portofinos have a pretty hard draw. The Duke of Devon is the hardest pull I've had in a cigar thus far. The Hampton Court is good for a milder smoke.

Sorry Charlie. Can't agree on the Macanudos. The draw is terrible and the taste is lacking (at least on the ones I've tried.)

Maybe it is just me, but I really enjoy the Macanudo Hyde Park Maduro. Portifinos and Duke of Devon are not sizes I have ever tried! I will yield to the majority opinion......strike the Mac's!

Mac's. I'll pass. Like sucking on a straw thats in a frozen milk shake. Your lips get tired and you only get a headache. I agree on the Mayorga, Dos Rios, and Flora de Oliva Grand Cams. Not only that the price is right on these brands, around $2 per cigar.

I smoke all sorts of cigars in the strength and flavor line up . One I have found to be in the mild to medium range and at a very good price is the Mantequilla. The price has always kept me away from them even though I try and not be a cigar snob. I was given one a couple months ago and smoked it out of respect to the giver. I was overwhelmed with the nice flavor and smoothness of this smoke.......Mayorgas and many of the above mentioned smokes are great too, but these things are so cheap, everyone should have a box or two of them....

I've also had the Hyde Park Maduro, My best cigar out of the last 20, I'm a weekend smoker. The draw was perfect Against the advice of my tabaconist, I will try the rest of the line, He keeps suggesting crap.
