hey guys (and gals)

one of my friends is looking to pick up one of the sampler packs from here (http://www.cigarsinternational.com/prodDisp.asp?item=CS-PT2) and i can't say i've tried all of these different markas... i know some of you on here will definitely know much better which he should choose than i would so please let me hear your opinions :D. his only real preference is that it be more mild bodied as he is just getting into cigars and wants something to try out (and get a nifty travel humi at the same time :banger)... or if you know a better place to go feel free to yell at me too (i don't buy many cigars online)

thanks in advance

That's a nice sampler, but not what I would classify as mild-bodied, most of those would probably be classified as pretty strong. :2

EDIT: Oh, I miss-read that a little - I thought it came with the cigars pictured. Out of the available samplers I'd recommend one of the Oliva samplers or the "Best of Perdomo 2" for someone looking for a mild-body sampler.

I'd go with one of the Oliva samplers or the Don Pepin #1

For a new smoker, I would recommend the Best of Carlos Torano Sampler

Have your friend check out cigarbid.com (aka cbid or the devil site). It's an auction site run by Cigars International. The different samplers pop up there fairly often, and usually end up going for quite a bit less than CI's regular prices.

I figured if the OP's friend is just getting started, might as well save him some money. If he decides to continue with this wonderful hobby, it's a good kick down the slope. :r
