    Talking Another new guy...

    Hey all, i'm Myles.

    I'm from Haverhill, Ma But i should be moving to Boston/Cambridge for culinary school next year

    I've been smoking cigars for about a year, but I guess White Owl's don't count for much. I started taking things serious about 2 months ago, and I haven't looked back.

    I don't know much about much in the way of cigars, and I'm here to learn!! What i do know is that I like mild to medium bodied cigars with a light wrapper, Connecticut Shade I think it's called? I really am a total cigar noob. My favorite smoke right now is the Tabak Especial Corona Dulce.

    I'm also in need of some suggestions, i'm getting paid friday, which means a trip to the B&M to spend some cash and enjoy the plush couches.

    Welcome from CO. CAO Gold is pretty mild with some decent flavors. It's not my favorite cigar because I prefer fuller bodied smokes, but it fits the profile you're looking for.

    Welcome, I agree that the CAO Gold is a good idea. Also, try a Macanudo and a Montesino.

    Welcome from Western MA. I would suggest the H Upmann Vintage Cameroon for a nice inexpensive smoke,
    Family, Friends and a good cigar. Oh and some fishing too!

    I also really enjoy a Fonseca Vintage for a lighter-bodied smoke.
    Since you are just kind of starting out, why limit yourself to milder-bodied smokes? I have never understood that in those new to the hobby. I can understand not wanting too much nicotine, but this is a subjective hobby; try stuff. Make your own decisions. Search on the boards for new ideas, then let us know what you think!

    I have tried full bodied sticks, but it was very overpowering. I'm working my way into it, since I started on the strong flavored cheap sticks. Also, I just like a sweet, not too overpowering smoke. I'm not too picky...yet!!

    Welcome from Western MA.
    Where in W. Mass? I went to school in North Adams last year.


    Also, thanks for all the tips, I'm getting a small humi tomorrow so i can start taking things home from my local B&M wihout worries, so I'll have to stock it up!

    Welcome from N. Virginia. Consider making a coolerdor, its cheaper and you can horde a lot more smokes. I also second the newbie sampler thread, its worth every penny and then some.

    Welcome mt

    I just bought a car up your way. I found it on the internet (autotrader.com) at a used car dealership in Lowell. It's called Howe's Auto Sales and the owner's name is Kevin. He's absolutely one of the best people you'll ever buy a used car from.

    Culinary school, that's great! My wife's a self-taught chef and has a side line business as a personal chef.

    nhcigarfan is from up near you, I think he's near Portsmouth.

    Welcome to CigarSmokers from Ottawa, Canada!

    Mild/medium suggestions: Oliva O and G (and Flor de Oliva Gold for a budget smoke), Perdomo Reserve (or Champagne or Golf or whatever Perdomo calls these things now). I don't smoke much Conn. Shade.

    Note wrapper colour may or may not have anything to do with body. Many cigars with Maduro-processed (dark, hopefully not dyed) wrappers fit right into the mild-medium category. Besides Maduro versions of the above-mentioned smokes, the Alec Bradley Trilogy Exotic Maduro <phew> is a sweet-tasting mild smoke. The CAO Brazilia is a good medium Maddie. (I prefer the Padron Maddies, but Padrons have a bit more body than all of the others I've mentioned IMHO.)
