mash Posted April 19, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksfull Posted April 19, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dflan82 Posted April 19, 2015 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quint Posted April 19, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share 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.

atlharp Posted April 20, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestroso Posted April 20, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Posted April 21, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtrade Posted April 21, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsgucia Posted April 21, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
