re: Lazy Sunday afternoon cigar thread

Olivas are good, but there are a few different lines in their brands. Series G should be mild enough yet flavorful enough not to knock you on your backside.

I always suggest Macanudo, "regular old" Macanudo. They are made with great tobacco, and are quite mild, but they are a great place to start.

Along the same vein, mild, Connecticut-shade wrapper cigars that aren't overly strong for a new smoker: Leon Jimenes, Montesino, the aforementioned Romeo y Julieta 1875 line (their regular line) Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur (original line,) H. Upmann (original line)

Original line La Aurora or Arturo Fuente (with the green strip on the cigar band).
