Hello --

If you want mild with a sweet finish, but not something you'll get laughed at for smoking, try a La Fontana. They are a good starter cigar for new comers, and a good way to work your way up to bolder smokes.

Nat Shermans are sweet as well, but not as smooth as the La Fontana.

Good luck!!!! You want a REAL cigar, go for the Arturo Fuenta Double Grand Reserve. A great way to kill time. Plus they come with their own spill to light them with.

As a smoker for 3 years now, I never pass up the oppurtunity to pick up an amazing box of smokes, even if I have enough in my humi. You just cant pass up certain boxes you know one day will be in CA under the "Connoisseur's Corner". Such as:

-Punch Punch (Cuban)
-Rocky Patel 1990 Vintage Robusto
-Montecristo #5 (cuban)
-Arturo Fuente 858

The list goes on......just dont buy in one shot !!! You'll be on the streets with nothing but you humi !

Can't say that I am with you on the Monte # 5 (or the # 3 or the # 4). Very plain smokes in my opinion. Pity cause the # 2 is excellent.

I bought a box in Cuba a year ago and there pretty good, milder for a cuban I must admit.

i wasn't all that impressed with the 4 and 5 i had either. i really enjoyed the petite tubo i had. still need to try a #2

I might catch some hell for this but one of the smokes that got me started was the Romeo y Julieta torpedo.....It seemed like I couldn't get enough of them, but I haven't had one for three years now.

You can't go wrong with a Fuente 858 though.....still a favorite of mine to this day. You could also try a Partagas Series S, or any of the mild Punchs (dons flamesuit) because they're usually consistent and not too pricey.

I agree, I have had a few different types of the Montecristo and I did not care for them either. It was too bad too, because I was really looking forward to them, but, they just didn't do it for me.

I second Kingpin's opinion, Romeo y Julietas are great smokes, (Although I have not had the torpedos, I prefer robustos.) I am particularly a fan of the maduros, although there seem to be mixed opinions on those.
