mash Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Agree with the medium bodied comment. I remember giving a friend a Boli PC and he was green by the end of it. We take nicotine tolerance for granted I think.
jacksfull Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 +1 on medium. Don't want to hit them too hard. OTOH, while the common wisdom that noobs should start with a mild cigar sounds good on paper, paper is all they tast like to me. If it does nothing for me, why would I assume it would wow anyone else? I suggested HUp Mag 46 earlier, but I'll go along with the several Monte 4 suggestions. There's a reason it's arguably the most popular CC in the world.
dflan82 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 For CC I would offer either a H Upmann Mag 46 or a Monte 2 (these are what hooked me along w/ Boli RC and PC) For NC, I would offer Padron 1926 #9 (either natural or maduro), Illusione Epernay Le Taureau, or Tatuaje Black Petite Lancero (Ashton VSG would also be in the mix, but is a bit stronger)
reliefdvm Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 cc Bolivar royal corona for experienced smoker, PL PC for the novice nc Illusione #68 or Tatuaje Cazadore.
Johanski Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I would give a mag 46,im smoking my first right now and oh my god.. This is the cigar that hooked me. And I belived i allready was hooked!

Quint Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I've introduced a few Cuban virgins with some extremely tasty PLPCs with a few years on them and the "light dawned on Marblehead" sort of speak. They loved them "best cigar" they ever had they said. I thought it was a good choice, not to strong, loads of smooth flavors.
El Presidente Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 Cuban Cigar..... Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Number 1 Runs the gamut of cream/honey flavours that most can reach. One of those Cuban cigars that forms a nice bridge between CC and NC while providing a level of complexity that raises an eyebrow. Non Cuba Cigar. AF Hemmingway Short Story If non Cuban cigars were all this good then the dropping of the embargo would make scant difference........as nobody would care 1
atlharp Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Easy.The best stick in my opinion would be a RASS.They are consistently wonderful and pair nicely at any point in the day. There is also a lower chance of getting one plugged. That was also the stick that won me over.
Maestroso Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 AF Hemmingway Short Story If non Cuban cigars were all this good then the dropping of the embargo would make scant difference........as nobody would care Don't keep your stories too short, writer. Time for a best seller. The BS is half an inch longer and a bit thicker than the SS but is a cut above in terms of complexity. 10 years of shortstorying show that SS may run skiny on taste. I stopped buying them 5 years after discovering the BS. The Work of Art is even fuller. Time also shows these benefit tre-men-dously from a couple of years of aging without their cellos on 'em. In fact, so do many other Arturo Fuente puros, like the Bauza Pyramid. Kudos to the quality of tobacco produced by Don Arturo's house.
potpest Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 A '11 Upmann connie 1, few years of age on it, nice medium profile with loads of flavour. Can't go wrong...
Duane Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 CC would have to be an RASS, I had great success at handing these out at an wedding and they still rave about it now. NC would be Carlos Torano reserva selecta still my fav NC.
airtrade Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 The Monte 4 works well most inexperienced guys have loved them. I think the Epi 2 would work out too. Casa torano or a fuente Hemingway for NC.
mrsgucia Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Buddy gave away 400 Romeo y Julieta No.2 turbos at his wedding. That was received very good by all kinds of guests. Experienced smokers could choose from RyJ Wide Churchills in tubes. Also a good start for non Cuban smokers.
Laxman Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Punch Punch or Partagas 898 would be my first choice with the Partagas D4 right behind
smokenj Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Out of my collection... PSDN4 HDM Epi Esp RyJ Tubos 1
Spanishcedar Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 If my box was open: CC: Trinidad Reyes if we're shooting, boat ride or daytime activity Cohiba secreto for an after dinner occasion NC: Sancho Panza for just a day out Joya De Nicaraugua Antaño Dark Corojo for a serious sit down
