the reo's and vibes are most certainly NOT.......mild.....they're sold as a medium to full smoke....not an ass-kicker like an antano.....but certainly not a beginners' cigar...
and that's from the owner of the brand...

Try the Fonseca Natural. "86" or so rating by C.A. for what its worth. I smoke one and I dont smoke much and found it to be mild, smooth with light flavors and refreshing.
The tail is tucked between the legs. Sorry Gentleman for the missinformation. I hope to not do it again.

Everyone's tastes are different - and on different days, depending on what you've eaten/drank/smoked/etc. it can change. There are cigars I keep around 'cause I just love 'em and a special occasion rolls around and I'm disappointed because they just don't taste right...
The Reo's are a damn fine smoke, though - the Vibe's had some problems with their early releases which apparently have been corrected.
Fonseca's certainly are a mild smoke, no doubt.
On the cheap side, there are the Helix - very mild. Nicer cigars are the Fuente Don Carlos line - but they are pricey. I think most of the natural Hemingway series are pretty mild as well.
The ultimate mild smoke at the moment is the Davidoff Diademas (100th Anniversary). They're the most complex mildest Davidoff I've ever had. But they range from about $18-$24 each, if you can find them... Also, the Partagas 150's are very mild, and very complex - and very expensive...
Ooops... I guess I should re-read the first post...![]()
If the guy thinks Helix is strong, there is no hope...BTW - did you give him the Helix Blue Label, or the Purple Label... The Purple's can be much stronger than the Blue...

I still do enjoy milds every now and then though. I can't descriminate. Unless it looks like...

I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"
