Looking for mild suggestions for a newbie

I am just starting to get into the cigar scene and I am looking for some suggestions for some mild or even flavored cigars that you might recommend. I keep seeing to start mild and work up. I am ready to get the ball rolling. Definitely makes me wish I paid closer attention to the different ones I have tried over the years so I at least had a base of what I had liked and didn't. I guess you live and learn with that one. Consider me "learned" and ready to learn a lot more.

    The Rocky Patel Connecticut IMO is a good jumping off point. It is very light with a creamy smoke. Great price point for a RP and you can usually pick them up in sampler packs.

    I work a block south of there, so sounds like I know where to go on my lunch break. Thanks for two good ones to start looking for. Hopefully Arrow isn't sold out.

    Thanks for another starting point. It definitely looks like something to try. I need to broaden my horizons and I am looking forward to trying a bunch. This time around I will be smart and write them down with my thoughts like I see so many people doing.

    Truth, but it is a long weekend and I need to start thinking about what I should be searching for to put into the humidor once it is ready. Oh, you managed to pique my interest and now I am running with it. :-)

    Avo original.... Amazing mild smoke bro. Man o War Virtue is another that comes to mind, Diamond Crown, 5 vegas classic, perdomo 10th champagne, and San Latano Conny/ I would highly recommend all of these smokes.

    Keep in mind a lot of these mild cigar suggestions and milds in general have a Connecticut wrapper on them. They can be good but personally they are one of my least favorite wrappers. Just don't associate mild cigars with Conn. wrapper only. I recommend checking out Guillermo Leon and La Aurora's offerings, Dominican tobacco is excellent.

    @ Gaetano7890, bigharpoon, Heavy, catfishbluezz, and bbass2 - Thanks for the suggestions too! I am sure the B&M is going to love seeing my simple ass walk in there with my list. I figure I will grab a few and then price check the rest with Ccom and other places to see where I can make the most of my money. I can feel it already that this is going to be an expensive hobby, but damn will it be fun! Thanks again everyone!

    I was just looking through that feed and didn't see any spreadsheet on there. I will keep looking in case someone else started a separate feed that is similar to the one you mentioned. I might have been in the wrong place. Thanks again for the help. I keep finding myself spending 30 to 40 minutes just reading through whatever reviews and comments I see, not realizing I have been reading that long. I guess I better close down my browser for a while or I won't get sh*t done at work today!
