Same thing with dipping less than a can a week. Moderation is the key.

Mild, natural. You should enjoy any of these.

I’ve enjoyed these. Monti Cristo are pretty good too. Go to a good cigar shop and tell them youre just getting interested and don’t know much yet. They usually are a great help and can steer you in the right direction. Buy a few and figure out what you like.

Yellow labels are good l.
Really for a beginner anything with a Connecticut wrapper and a Nicaragua or Dom Repub filler and binder will be fine
Posted on 6/28/20 at 8:09 pm to Meatball
I'd go with a La Flor Dominicana Air Bender like someone said before.

My favorite is Punch Rare Corojo

Good suggestions.
Macanudo with the light green band is always well made, creamy in character and quite mild. These are a great starter cigar.
As mentioned above, Montecristo regular line. Arturo Fuente with the red and green band, their original Flor Fina line. I cut my teeth on the 8-5-8.
Also made by Fuente/J.C.Newman try their Cuesta-Rey line.
Leon Jimenes from La Aurora (if they still make them) or even the regular line La Aurora with the Cameroon wrapper is mild enough to start.
Just about anything with a Connecticut Shade wrapper leaf which will be light tan in color will be mild enough not to get you sick the first few times out.
Enjoy the journey.

Montecristo, Cohibas, Macanudo.
Can't go wrong.

I think that would be a Hoya de Monterrey Excalibur #3, which is a nice, mild cigar.
You could also try a Padron 1964 Anniversary Edition, but that will spoil you.
Hard to go wrong with Padrons, CAO, Montecristo, and I like a good ol' Punch now and then.

Idk about it being a good cigar for a beginner.
But I'm a simple man with simple tastes
I walked into the humidor and walked up and down the aisles until a smell stopped me. And I sniffed every cigar in the area until it was the one I had smelled.

Padron is the answer. Start with the 3000 series and work your way up. Just be careful because the 1964 series will ruin you

My first cigars were Montecristos, yellow label.
Nothing special with a Connecticut leaf and a mild taste. Sort of like a bud light when you start drinking beer.
Then I started trying different things. Sampler packs are designed just for that. I recommend going to famous smoke.com and searching for top cigar samplers. Get about 5-10 at a time and make sure it has a wide variety (leaf wrappers, strength, etc.)
If you’re not comfortable with that, find a local cigar bar or cigar shop and stop in. The guys that work in those places usually know their shite and if you walk in and tell them you’re a beginner, they’ll point you in the right direction. Problem is, those sticks will be expensive (like $8-$20 per cigar)
Once you find one or two brands/types you like, you’ll order that in boxes online and it will save you a ton of money. Ordering boxes will usually bring cigar prices down to $2-$10 a stick unless you have a taste for premium stuff.
Finally...cigars are a culture. Like sipping fine wine or bourbon. Find what you like and smoke what you like. Don’t let anyone tell you anything different.
Happy hunting

Start with the milder Arturo Fuentes. If you can get a Cuban, the Monte #4 is good for beginners.
70% of the time, I’m either smoking one of the Padron thousand series cigars, or the Cuban Montecristo #4.
I smoked a Padron Churchill Friday on the lawnmower and had a Londres this evening.
Like posted earlier, DONT buy one of the Padron 1964 or 1926 cigars. Those are NOT for beginners.
The Padron thousand series are good AF and always consistent.
