Welcome from the tip of MS. For a mild smoke, try the Montecristo White or the Rocky Patel Connecticut. For what you are paying for those Macs, there are a ton of other cigars that are better and cheaper. Go to a local shop and ask them to fix you up with a variety of cigars. If they try to push the Macs on you, find another shop.
thanks for the tips... i'm trying to find something cheaper than macanudos for sure.
Welcome from Iowa, if you like a mild cigar I'm partial to the Fonseca vintage, gispert, of course the montecristo white is a great cigar, usually a little higher priced, but a lot better that macanoodles
I made a list of all your suggestions plus a few i found scattered across the board... I'm going tom. to see which ones i can get for cheap...
I also have a Partagas LR 1996 in my humidor... it was recomended to me, any thoughts on that one?
Welcome from DC. Try Casa Torano's they are a great mild smoke.
Welcome to the 4M from another NooB.
Welcome from VA! You will enjoy trying all the different cigars being recommended. I too used to be a Macanudo fan, until this forum turned me into the right direction. Never looked back since.

If your looking for a mild smoke another good cigar is 5 Vegas Limitada, and for a reasonable mild smoke (about $1.00 a stick) you might want to try a Baccarat and/or Flor de Olivia.
Welcome from Central Georgia
And I second the Casa Torano, it's a very good mild smoke!
Welcome from Tupelo, MS. You should join in on the Atlanta Herf we're (supposedly) having.
5 Vegas Gran Reserva (Red Label) aren't mild but they won't kill ya and are inexpensive. Don Kiki Red and Green Labels are another cheap smoke.
Welcome to the forum!

On a related note: A new B&M opened in my area so I went to check it out. Some Koreans are known by how hard headed they are, well I proved that statement correct today. I smoked my first Macanudo and I will say it will likely be my last. This thing was horrible, the only thing pleasureable about the experience was watching my kids play outside while I smoked it. I am not one to quit, so I went through as much as I could, but man it was along hour.
Welcome from VA.
looks like you've already got a lot of suggestions, just thought i'd throw this link in here (its the same one i gave you last night in chat, but here it is incase you forgot)
also, welcome to the board from iowa :smiley20:

I'll give you that all three of the standard mac's are nasty... I've tried just about all of them... the ones i like are the Vintage or gold lable...
BUT, on that note, i went to buy some of those suggested cigars today and i picked up a Baccarat and a Casa Torano... I smoked the Baccarat already, and at a 5th of the price i pay for those mac vintage, it was a better smoke. I also realized when i saw the Casa Torano that i had smoked one before; a friend of mine had given it to me some time ago and i like it alot too... So now, I'd still smoke a Mac Vintage if someone gave me one, but i couldn't very well justify spending the money for one when i could pick up Baccarat so cheap. Thanks for those suggestions and i'm now going to work my way through the rest of that list plus the ones in the linked forums.
If I find a good deal on them, I may give them a try again, I never tried any Mac's until today. I figured I needed to use the rule "try three before you make a decision", but I just wasn't going to go out of my way in the near future.
which one did you try? i smoked the Cafe once, which i guess is just the standard mac and i couldn't taste it at all.. i might as well have been smoking a tube of paper.
Maduro- Which I believe is the same as Cafe' line.
oh god, i hated the Maduro... i thought maybe i just got a bad one cuz it seemed kind of dry... maybe that one just sucked... I'd say if you want to honestly try a mac, try and get a Vintage... 2000 is the one i like. I think it taste good, not greatfor a $10-15 cigar, but smokeable... problem is, they DO cost $10-15...
Nope it wasn't just the one you had, mine was also very dry. I chalked it up to shipping/storage for the new B&M.
