In the short time I have been smoking sticks I have found that I like mild-meduim to meduim bodied cigars. So far I am a Fuente whore, cant get enough! As much as I like those I dont think I would want to smoke them all the time. I am trying to build up my humi and enjoy exploring different sticks. I would like to hear about some of your fav mild-meduim to meduim sticks! Thanks.

Personnaly enjoy Nicaraguan's, one is Joya De Nicaraguan Cabinetta. Do beleive this somewhat on the medium to full blend. Smooth enough for me and not to strong.

Taste are always changing, so in a few months it could be some other cigar. 1 other is the Perdomo Champagne.

Good to try everything you can, but don't stock up yet on any one stick. Most will tell you that your palate WILL change, and you may no longer enjoy any of the smokes you enjoy now. Nothing worse then having a cooler full of sticks you no longer want to smoke.

Believe me I am nowhere near a cooler full of anything except Spotted Cow. I want to try again with the full body smokes, but really dont like the hard pepper bite, sorta makes my stomach hurt.

try an Oliva serie G, Special G, I don't care for lots of spice either, easy enough to find,

if you can, and are willing to drop around 9 bucks find a Headley Grange Estupendos, nice medium cigar, but complex flavors, some caramel/sweet, very little spice on teh 1st few puffs.

Verdadero - a budget alternative, imho it is a pretty good smoke with a longish nap (6+ months)....

some people say they have a raisin taste...

I don't quite get that, but it definitely has sweeter/floral notes for me....

great morning smoke with some hot black coffee.....

and...............it's "organic"..........what's not to like?

You like the Fuente's try the Ashton Aged Maduro or the Heritage Puro Sol lines.

Hoyo de Monterrey

Romeo y Julieta

CC's preferably, but some of the NC's are good too.

Dunno, something about that Kooban twang that hits the spot at times.

I've been an avid cigar lover for more than 20 years. It's true that my tastes change over time, but I agree that HdM and RyJ are some of the most pleasing to my palate. Currently, I am enjoying many of the offerings of Bahia - smooth and mild with a touch of exotic spiciness. . 🇨🇮

One of my favorite go to smokes that I recently discovered is the CI Legends Camacho. It's a nice mild to medium body smoth smoke good construction and delicious I haven't had a bad one from the box yet and I have smoked about half of it. But if you enjoy a pure mild I recomend rp conn or a drew estate chateau real. Personaly though right now I am crazy for Graycliffs.

+1 on the maduro, and the price ain't too bad, especially if you catch a deal.

Also, the post about your tastes changing is dead on. I used to go for coffee/chocolate, now I'm hung up on pepper which I used to sorta dislike.

WOAM every once in a while is still a great smoke!
