Hi Boys! Can anyone suggest a few mild-medium cigars for a female newbie?

    My wife has fallen in love with Ave Maria. They are medium strength with a lot of flavor. She often smokes the Drew Estates Java if you are interested in Infused.

    But really sex has nothing to do with it. I know some women who's smokes make my eyes water.

    Most Romeo y Juliets are mild.  San Cristobal Elegancia is a great mild smoke too.

    Welcome to the forums. My vote is for the Altura Fuente sun grown rosado.

    From the limited mild to mediums I've smoked  (kinda jumped right into medium full to full)  I liked the Ave Maria imaculata. I had 1 5 Vegas classic which was pretty decent for a budget stick. 

    I've liked every Romeo y Julie I've had, every Ave Marie. I've yet to try Arturo Fuente except cubanitos (I enjoy for a quick smoke)

    May try the 5 Vegas gold also if your on a budget.  Haven't had a 5 Vegas I did not like

    I hate these questions but I love new enthusiasts. Welcome! As I ponder a recommendation (or two) I realize everything that is coming into my feeble mind is a Cameroon wrapped cigar. I hate these types of questions because everyone's opinion/commendation is their own and all other opinions/recommendations are wrong. Of course, I'm oversimplifying it but, my point is you will need to try any recommendation with a completely open mind. Lower your expectations. Answer to your own taste buds.   
    Arturo Fuente - Don Carlos
    Torano - 1916
    CAO - MX2
    These recommendations are just a needle in a haystack of possibilities, There are so many cigars to choose from. And, don't be afraid to try stronger blends. Sometimes the flavors are amazing in strong blends. Just be sure to eat a meal with plenty of carbs beforehand. If you start to feel yucky, hard candy and fluids.

    Wrong answer, @Bob_Luken!  Where do you come up with this stuff?!?!  ;)

    Had a Bohemian Bamboo last night. It was way to light for me, but my wife stole it from me. So that may be one to try.

    It's hard to go wrong with the AVO and La Paulina stuff.

    No problem. Why don't you stick around for a bit? Lots of great stuff on here.

    My wife likes CAO Moontrance for flavored, Macanudo Cafes for unflavored.  I've found Olive Connecticut Reserve to be a nice mellow cigar, although not a mild one.  Pretty much any cigar I've had that is labeled as mild and has a light Connecticut
    Shade wrapper has been good enough for my needs.

    For cheaper cigars I've recently tried Don Rafael Fumas.  Mild, decent flavor and cheap, like me.  :)

    Montecristo White Series - a little pricey but very good.

    I'd buy those by the truck load if I could. I love coffee and I love Drew Estate. xD

    Had one the other morning. It was good but for the price I would suggest that you try the Ave Marina Immaculata. Goes great with a cup of strong coffee :)
