Good mild cigars

I pretty much always smoke full bodied cigars and I was wondering if anyone knows of any really good mild-medium smokes that someone like me could enjoy. I have never had a mild-bodied cigar that I really enjoyed and I want to change that. Suggestions?

    CAO Black, CAO Cameroon, 5 Vegas, 5 Vegas Gold, LA Robusto, Fuente 858, Fuente Hemingway. Humm there are a tone of great mild-med smokes out there! Just a few off the top of my head.

    Peace, Nick

    At this point, the 5 Vegas Gold is my favorite mild. It's definitely mild, but I can usually still taste layers of complexity throughout the stick. I also enjoy the Oliva Connecticut Reserve on occasion as well.

    I have to second the CCOM Blue Label. I had one this weekend and really enjoyed it.

    I like the 5 Vegas Gold and CAO Gold. I used to like Macanudo way back when I started. I bought one a few months ago and hated it. Had no flavor IMO. I guess my palate has changed and loves medium-full flavor.

    I like the RP Connecticut and Vintage 1992 (more medium though). Verdadero Organic is an interesting mild as well.

    Also, a nice little mild AND cheap one I recently discovered is the Montesino maduro. Really liked it, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about this one.

    I second the Rocky Patel 1999. Probably my favorite stick to have in the morning with breakfast and coffee... Also the Perdomo Lot 23 - very nice stick.

    Verdadero Organic, in my opinion, isn't all that great. Don't get me wrong, it isn't bad, but its just kinda...meh.

    ... Oh yes I have.. The very first cigar I ever smoked was a Montesino. Made by Fuentes, it is the one that hooked me fifteen years ago. Love 'em still. By the way, Verdadero was the cigar I was going to mention as my new favorite " Mild" Hmmm. I too enjoy the 1992, are we related ?

    Well, I am from South Carolina and we're all related, so you never know.

    Glad to see some love for the Montesino. I had never heard of them and tried one out of the blue recently, not expecting much at all and really liked it.

    Got a couple of Verdaderos with my first c.com order earlier this year. I liked that it had a different/unique flavor profile while being mild, instead of just being mild and boring.

    The Padilla Habano I smoked yesterday was pretty mild/med and was damn good IMO. Love the 1992 as well.

    I recently had the Avo Uvezian AVO No.9. Great smoke. It had that creamy taste without tasting like you're puffing air. At $8.99, it might be spendy, but I don't regret a cent of it.

    So far the ones I plan to try are: Rocky Patel Signature and Vintage 1999, Avo, Ashton, and maybe an Oliva Conny. I have already tried a lot of the sticks mentioned here.

    WERD. I was going to say this as well, one of the smoothest cigars I've ever smoked. Ashton Classic FTW (mild cigars).

    I smoked a mild cigar today that I picked up on auction, a Napa Estate from H Uppman, it's not going to win any awards, but for the price it was a smooth, tasty mild cigar. Not quite an Ashton, but a good low price alternative. A nice looking toro encased in an aluminum tubo. To give an idea on pricing, a box of 30 can be had for $75.

    Last night I smoke my first Gurkha Park Avenue and it was a pretty good mild cigar. Reminded me of a CAO Gold or 5 Vegas Gold. You can pick these up for $2.00 or $2.50 a stick. It would be a good one to hand out to friends who might not appreciate your prized sticks.

    I think the Park Avenues are a really good smoke, but they have to rest a couple of months for the full flavor to come ouot.  they are a little harsh off the truck IMHO.

    This one had some rest. It started off mild yet peppery. The middle was mild and creamy. The nub was really good and I started to burn my fingers so I smoked almost the entire thing. It was like it wanted to break free from being mild but couldn't. There was something there I can't pinpoint. For a mild cigar I though it was very enjoyable. My palate is starting to not enjoy mild cigars. I have graduated to medium and full lol.

    i agree, the 1st inch or so is pretty spicy, but it settles down to a petty mild smoke after that.
