corneliusmaximus Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Hello guys and gals! I was wondering what you would recommend as a top quality cigar that’s on the lighter side. I don’t smoke often now adays (a cigar every few months), so I’d be willing to spend a good amount for them. Ideally it also lasts a while - flexible on size just not too small. Also, would you recommend I try to get something through the 24:24 to get something truly special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akela3rd Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Fonseca No1 would seem to fit the bill. Lonsdale size, mild to mid in strength and flavour but a lovely smoke. Reliable too, quality is generally above the Cuban average with regard to over/underfilling.Sent from my HTC U11 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampDelta369 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Agreed on the Quai d’Orsay. The 50 is mild-medium at best. Very nice pleasant smoke. Punch Punch is also one to try if looking for a longer vitola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDB Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Also ERDM Choix Supreme. Incidentally I find the new QdOs to have quite a range of body, from light to medium. I would also call Romeo Churchills a light smoke for at least the first half, and v good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokyFontaine Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I think a Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure 1 is really light. A little too light for me, which is why I love the Petit Robustos so much. I also find most of the Upmanns to be fairly light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Few Cuban cigars are full bodied. Most are medium or a tad under. If smoking every couple of months then a box of Partagas Lusitania would be a fine choice. They are more than approachable young, construction is generally good and you will see them age beautifully over the years. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astar20 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Anything HDM and Fonseca or ERDM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frinkiac7 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Will second ERDM and Hoyo. Also LGC (when you can find them) and PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connoisseur Kim Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 LGC.MdO4 is the classic premium light CC IMHO. I really enjoyed the flavour profile of that cigar! Earl grey tea works well with this CC too!나의 SM-N950N 의 Tapatalk에서 보냄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StogieSteve23 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 QDO-Coronas/No. 54, HDM - Epicure No. 2, Upmann's. For me these are pleasantly mild-medium in strength and nice flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke them slowly for max enjoyment, especially the RyJ, it can pack a wallop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Diggamus Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 For my taste I think anything Hoyo de Monterrey is your best bet. I had a HdM Epicure Especial recently and it reminded me just how light of a cigar many Hoyos can be. Great cream and spice notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvd1291 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I've only had one so I don't know how accurate my opinion is, but I found the Hoyo de Monterrey no. 2 to be very light and mild, even for a Cuban cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider Trinidad to be probably my favorite marca (cost notwithstanding). As for unreliability, I would say in general that it's no more/less unreliable than any other Cuban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every La Trova I’ve had has been incredible. Makes me want more and I haven’t touched my Fundadores yet to keep them from ritual sacrifice.
