Need help.

So, I'm a pipe smoker, wanting to pick up a few good cigars for my collection. I'm more of a light, smooth, flavored type smoker, and I don't smoke all too often. Any tips for a newb cigar guy from the experienced? There's a cigar shop down the road from me, the Tobacco Box, going to go visit there next week, just looking for a heads up before heading there.,

A good mild good flavored smoke I always go to is the CAO gold robusto. Almost all smoke shops will carry that one. Here are a couple others that are mid bodied smokes.
-Romeo y Julieta 1875 (any size)
-Fuente Queen B
-anything by macanudo.
-Chateau Fuente in the black and white aluminum tubes
Those are some of mild/mids that I like from time to time and none of them will break the bank. Good cigars if you just want to get the feet wet.

Montecristo White Label are a mild to medium creamy smoke with a little spice. I smoke a lot of these.
Romeo y Julieta 1875 Reserve
Macanudo anything
Others will be along shortly with way more recomendations than these.

My thoughts as well, but they are a good starter smoke. Not overwhealming with flavor, no nicotine kick, smoke output doesnt blow a new smokers sinus's into pieces....yeah, for those of us with more time under our belts and sticks burned up, we turn away from the macanudo. But I will always point a new smoker to them.

I appreciate the suggestions. Looking forward to trying some of these cigars.

San Cristobal Elancia
Their new release.
Very mild and a well built smoke.
Not my cup of tea but for a new cigar smoker....right up your alley.

Smoking a San cristobal elegancia right now & it is extremely smooth & mild.
Like sucking on a tit through a sheet as my father would say.
Not a bad cigar at all just not for me I think.

That's the one!!!
Yes, very mild but still enjoyable.
For me, a morning smoke with coffee.
Great for a new smoker.

If you see any of the Fuente cigars that have a green stripe on the band, that means it is a shade grown wrapper IIRC. All of those are mild smokes, very light pepper and smooth. A little one dimensional (no complex flavors and no changes in flavor profiles) I had one of the Fuente Cuban Coronas with my coffee this morning. Great little smoke. Got a 5 pack of them on Da Debil site for 5 bucks.

You might be a fan of Connecticut wrappers. Try one and find out.
Barring that I'd recommend a Padron 3000 or similar. Don't try a Cain F or anything related if you like smoothe flavors, cigars like Cains can be a kick in the teeth.

Agreed. Also, going with light and smooth, I'd add the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Edición de Aniversario Toro, Zino Platinum Z-Class, Davidoff Millennium Blend Robusto, and the Diamond Crown Julius Caeser. For a rare/occasional smoker, the higher costs on them wont be a big issue, and all are well worth the price, and have lots of interesting favors to keep you going, and tend to smooth and creamy.IMHO.

Macanudo and Arturo Fuente for new people, and for the seasoned vets

Did you say "mildly-flavored" or "mild AND flavored?"
If the former, everybody else gave some great suggestions. I also like Ashton Cabinets and Oliva Connecticut Reserves.
If the latter. look at the Drew Estates ACID line. Not a fan of the Kuba Kuba (the flavoring is overpowering, like smoking an air freshener) but the Natural and the Liquid are both a little less aggressive.

I'm a fan of Ashton 898. Mild-Medium, my go-to cigar.

What about an Arturo Fuente 858, a good smoke for a great price I can find them for around $4 here.
