Newer to the hobby and trying to broaden my tastes. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on some good ones that are mild in flavor--maybe even on the sweet side--or at least not a "harsher/bitterness" to them.

Try anything Connecticut, more mild in flavor. Ccom can put a custom sampler together for you, just call or email. try as many different cigars for as long as you can, you will thank me later."We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give". Winston Churchill.

Do you want infused? Or straight tobacco?

Baccarat cigars, smooth and sweet gum on the cap gives a sweet flavor throughout the smoke @CheckI was born a fool, and just got bigger!5

"harsher/bitterness" usually comes from smoking to fast. If Im reading a book while enjoying a cigar I usually read a page, take a puff read another page take another puff.6

Thanks for the tips. I did have a bad experience from "power smoking" one and got sick from it. Thought i was a light-weight until i did a little research.
As far as the infused or straight, i'm open to try anything. Just trying to avoid the "lump of coal" feeling that i've gotten from a couple. Monte's seem to have been pretty good luck.0 -

@First_Warrior fast reader, it takes me 30 seconds, to 30 minutes to read pictures, lol

I will only add: Slow down on your smoking pace, get the best cigars you can afford and try many. Once you find your go to sticks you can try others from that maker and go from there. I kept/keep a cigar log. When I first started I logged every single one I lit and wrote what I liked and didn't, gave it my own STAR rating per say.
Now I more or less log the new ones I try that are really good or really bad for future reference.

@jgibv has a system; has a jar for cigar bands of ones he liked, and a ziplock for bands of sticks he didn't care for, but is saving to send someone for projects. Then when it's time to shop for more he can just look through the jar, knowing he'd smoke those again.
