Mild cigars?

[RevSmoke]

Question James, are you looking for "mild" cigars or "smooth" cigars?

I believe this is an important distinction because many new smokers are looking for cigars that are not "harsh," or hard on their palate. Oftentimes that "harsh"ness is misdiagnosed as strong when it really isn't.

There are some incredibly full-bodied (strong) cigars our there that are incredibly smooth.

So, I wonder which it is you are looking for?

Your answer could open up many different worlds of cigars.

I believe I am indeed looking for smooth cigars. I don't mind full-bodied cigars. Apologies for the incorrect term.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

There are many cigars to choose from and all tastes are very subjective. I love smooth cigars and smooth cigars that I've had are:

Cuban:
Cohiba Behike BHK 54 or 56 (52 was eh)
Cohiba Robusto
Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva
Partagas series D No. 4

Non Cuban:
Ave Maria especially the 5.5x55 boxed pressed
AVO LE 2011 85th Anniversary
Davidoff Special R
Legend Ario Big Bertha natural
Padron Family Reserve No. 45 maduro or natural
Padron Family Reserve No. 46 maduro
Padron series 1926 80th Anniversary
Perdomo Lot 23 natural

Those are the few that I tend to smoke

No apologies necessary. You might have responded - "I didn't know there was a difference." In fact, there are some long term smokers who don't see the difference in that manner.

Now that we have that cleared up, here are some suggestions:
El Rey del Mundo Robusto
Oliva V
Cabaiguan
Avo XO
Arturo Fuente (their regular line)
La Flor Dominicana Air Bender
La Gloria Cubana
Padron
Punch

Those are just a few to get you started. My favorite size to try a new cigar line is the Robusto size. It gives you a good ring guage and it isn't too long of a smoke.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Does the size of a cigar influence the taste?

IMO yes, I hate 6x60's because I find as the RG gets larger the flavor is less and muted.

Personally I like a 38-50 RG.
