For years, have loved the smell of a cigar but just couldn't smoke 'em.  Seemed too bitter, had too much of a bite.  About a week ago, was given a Macanudo Hampton Court.  Sat down with a glass of wine and found out why people smoke these things!  I'm told that this particular cigar is on the mild side.  Okay by me, but are there any other recommendations for a cigar that is also on the mild side?  I don't like something too hot or with a bite.  Maybe I'm just a weenie....

and found out why people smoke these things!

This is a great moment in a person's life. I remember when it happened to me. /sniff.

Welcome to the forum. There are a ton of great mild sticks. Call Ccom and ask them to put a sampler together for you.

Welcome aboard. You might want to give a look to Gurkha Park Ave. Very mild, flavorful, not very expensive.

Some other Mild cigars you may enjoy would be 5 Vegas Gold, CAO Gold, La Aurora, and Fonseca, to name a few. Macanudo is a good starting point for those new to cigars. It won't be long before you are venturing into bolder more flavorful cigars. Welcome Grumpy ( by name not by nature).

By no means does a mild stick make you a sissy. Milder smoke are usually full of creamy flavors and are very relaxing. It's whatever your palate likes. I also recommend just calling the 800 number and explain to them you are new and prefer a mild smoke. When you call in, you will typically get better prices than the site. The reason they do this is because they cannot possible post every deal the have online. They also may have an abundance of a particular cigar(s) that they would like to move and lower the price for you. Welcome to the boards and keep us updated on your new hobby. Also, since you are going to eventually ask, get a much bigger humidor than you think. First, they don't hold nearly what they say they do. A 100 count humi may hold 60-70 cigars. I know it sounds crazy if you are new that you will hold that many cigars at once. . . . . . but you will. We all did at one time.

+1 on the humidor. Welcome to the group. These guys are funny, entertaining and knowledgeable. And the best part is how much they charge for their expertise...not a darn cent!

No offense to anyone, but in my opinion stay away from the Ccom house blends. I super second the Nub connie - get it in the larger ring guages that you can find 60+

Have you had bad experiences with them? I have nothing but good to say about the Brazilian and Cuban labels. Mind you I haven't dabbled in the milder offerings too much.
