Need some guidance on a cigar

I am new to cigars. Had a light colored one and really liked it. Macanudo something. Then another friend gave me a Camacho with a red label. Thought i'd choke! What was the difference? Was the red one really strong or was it just me being a wimp?

    The Macanudo was a pretty mild cigar, but that Camacho was indeed a little more full bodied. Try some other Connecticut wrapped Macanudo or really any of the Mild or Mild Medium cigars on the Ccom site

    Some of the vets on here like @kuzi16 have done a lot of reviews that you can check out or just post like you did and wait for the gurus to offer their insight. Cigars are all about enjoying the moment and everyone has different tastes. You'll eventually find yours as your palate expands (and your wallet shrinks!)

    Definitely agree with the above statements so far. Would point you for the moment at playing mostly with Connecticut wrapper cigars. If you order online just talk to your sales person and describe the Macanudo you liked and ask for some similar profile connecticut cigars. If you buy from a lounge, well same thing just ask them and look for recommendations based on that. Parked color wrapper isn't always more nicotine and strength, but it is at least an ok rule of thumb for covering a broad spectrum as a whole.

    How did you choke on it? Did you inhale? Usually the newb just turns green and vomits
