    Welcome from the Land of Lincoln. My first smoke was the El Diablo (not made now)

    Well I finally got aound to visiting my local B&M today and they recommended I try a Macanudo Petit Corona. How does that sound as a first cigar based on what I'm looking for? I won't get a chance to smoke it until Monday, but I'm looking forward to it already. Wish me luck!

    You won't have a problem with the Mac' being too strong, they tend to be somewhat lacking in the flavor department though.

    Don't be too afraid of the stronger cigars, just try to eat a good meal beforehand, and have a sweet beverage while you smoke, it will help counteract any nicotine effects. I like to smoke the full flavored cigars in the evening, after dinner.

    Suggestions:

    Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente sungrown. Outstanding cigar for it's price, loaded with flavor.

    Carlos Torano Exodus 1959, Medium bodied with great flavor

    Oliva Serie V, a little stronger, but an outstanding smoke



    Oh Yeah... Good Luck. let us know your experience!

    The Macs get a bad rap here. They aren't my favorite cigars, but my wife enjoys the Vintage 2000 line. Macanudo is one of the biggest cigar makers out there. I equate it to Budweiser beer. Sure, Budweiser is drinkable, but once your palate becomes more refined, you discover better beers.

    Let us know how it works out! I also second the Fuente Sun Growns. Very tasty, very affordable.

    Mild, tasty, inexpensive.

    Welcome from Ohio. I would go with the Oliva Serie G camaroon. I had one a while back and it was instantly a favorite. The are medium bodied, and to me the taste like a cigar should taste. I don't know really how to explain, but if i were to imagine smoking a cigar, this is the one it would taste like.
