  1. Default Good creamy sweet cigars?

    Hey guys, i'm a newbie and just got into cigars and so far all i've tried have been a few Gurkhas. These were all pretty strong in flavor and a bit too peppery/woody for my taste. I just wanted to get some tips from you pros out there on what are some nice creamy/sweet/nutty tasting cigars and which models I should look into. Any help would be much appreciated.

    thanks all

    I'll honestly say, I don't smoke many "mild" cigars, but I think you might like something from the Carlos Torano "Casa Torano" line or Carlos Torano Reserva Selecta.

    <caveat> I am not a pro </caveat>

    Try something like a 5 Vegas Gold, or maybe even a Hoyo de Monterrey 1066 Excalibur Dark Knight. Come to think of it, while I know the first one is mildish/creamyish/nuttyish, there may be a bigger kick to the Hoyo.

    Were you thinking something like that? Or were you looking for flavored cigars?

    As a newbie, I gained much more perspective after visiting the Newbie Sampler Thread in the Exchange part of the forum. Make sure you let whoever you pick know that you are looking for milder sticks. It's a great way to gain exposure from a knowledgeable "pro".

    I recommend the Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real, Montecristo White, Rocky Patel Vintage 1999. Gees, there's more out there I should be able to think of, but I'm having somewhat of a brain fart. Nonetheless the three I recommended I'm sure you'll enjoy, they are all excellent mild creamy cigars in my book.

    OK, I recently tried Casa Royale - a special at Holt's - and these were pretty good. They are medium in strength and imo are about the only thing close to what I consider the unique profile of the Padron 1000 series. While I'm a fan, the Padrons for me often become bitter anywhere in the 2nd half of the cigar. The Royales stayed smooth and interesting throughout.

    Thumbs up JR Ultimate

    Try the JR ultimate in the natural wrapper. One of my favorites because I've described the flavor profile as exactly what you're looking for. The toro 5-pack is only 12.50 and I've found that size to be quite nice. Also, when they change their deals again you can get a free box of habanitos with a box purchase, and the cigars are less than $3 each in a box.

    A lot of great recommendations. I'd like to also mention the Oliva Serie V. Pretty creamy and semi-sweet. Bit of a full-bodied smoke but might be worth trying. Decent price too.

    Padron 1926 Series is real creamy. #9 is my favorite.

    I would also second the Rocky Patel Vintage 99 nomination and maybe throw in the Edge Lite too. Also the Hemingway line from Fuente might suit your pallete.
