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...

Very true. Don't flame me for this but the first opus X I had about 4 years ago I snubbed after about 10 puffs. Thought it was rediculously strong peppery etc..and had NO idea why people thought it was sooooo Great. Now I feel is is a very full bodies cigar with tons of flavor and can appreciate it.

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

I am having my rehearsal dinner for my wedding at Ivanronne's. I am also happy to say Malio's is opening up again! Small world!

Fonsecas are very good mild smokes
The Griffins is also a very good mild smoke (expensive, though)

RP Connecticut is a very tasty mild smoke, but may border on medium
Rolys (Puros Indios 2nds) are mild-med and dirt cheap

Hemmingways might be pushing the envelope a little, but might be worth a try.

And listen to what BPP says. He knows is stuff.

I've given him both of these. He said the RP Connie was too strong. I keep a few of the Rolys around and he almost choked on the one I gave him.

I told him I give up trying to find something for him. He works in Detroit so I told him to go to a B&M over there and ask for the mildest they have and he can keep 'em in my Humidor. I mean, I like the Connie Rubusto as an early mild smoke (very flavourful and I think I'll have one right now!!) but it's probably the mildest I've had. Jeez, he even foung the Helix strong and apparently, that's one of the mildest made (or so I've been told).

Jim, can he tell a difference between a good mild cigar and a bundle cigar and does he care ?

By the way I tried the Thompson brand that they stuckin that sampler. They say its medium but it seemed like mild to me. Let me know your opinion if you decide tosmoke em

I will say that the Perdomo Imperial that a B&M shop owner said was mild-medium kicked my butt and made me a tad bit sick... heads up to avoid if you don't like medium-full.

Try the Griffins. They're pricy, but wicked mild. Onyx might be a nice one to try (it's a little fuller, but it'sa good newbie cigar)

Great advise on the mild smokes in this thread - Fonsecas, Griffins, Onyx etc.

One of the better mild smokes that helped me to get started into premiums is the Cusano 18. They do not carry a whoppin' price tag either.
