I am not into harsh tobaccos, I enjoy extremely mild tobaccos

What is the Mildest cigar you've smoked? How would you rate it on a scale of 1 to 10?

Thanks

I would check out something creamy.......

Cusano C18, the Cusano Hermanos Vintage...both very well balanced and pretty mild.....there are tons.....I'm sure you will be getting a lot of suggestions but I'd definately check out those two....................

id say dunhill altimiras, or a montecristo #3...
that said, be careful not to limit youself to just the mild stuff. there is a plethora of medium range smokes that are not overbearing
romeo y julieta, fuente, montecristo, there are plenty out there

Ya can't leave out the Cuesta Rey #47's or Centenario No. 60's! I'm smoking one right now (the 47) and it's a cream bomb! Very mild and oh so good. Simp

As a general rule, go for lighter wrappers with bigger ring size. The reason being that the bigger ring keeps the stick form getting hot while you smoke it (less air passing through a wider area as opposed to more air through a narrow area); and getting hotter means more harshness. As far as the wrapper is concerned, the darker the wrapper, the more sugars are in the leaf. That generates more flavor.

My favorite sticks tend to be thicker; but I generally go from medium to full with flavor (natural to maduro). Although an occasional candela suits me just fine.

In addition to the fine suggestions already made on this thread, I recommend checking out CAO Gold.

Light body smoke king is the Macanudo, a tasteless piece of cardboard IMHO, if you want mild with taste the CasaBlanca line is very mild, as are some AVO , Jose Llopes Gold( from Panama)
,La Primadora ,LaUnicia ,Signet, & Zino all rated 1 on a sales of 1 to 5 according to the Perlman pocket guide 97 eddition, I havent bought one in a long time this is the newest one I have , still being a young man you might want to hold off a few years to let your taste buds develope before you try the heavy full flavor stuff. Enjoy, Vince
