Mild Cigars For Beginners

Don’t be fooled by the word mild; there is nothing bland when it comes to the flavour of these cigars! Whether you’re a novice smoker looking for an easier smoke to start with, or you just prefer your smoke on the milder side, there are plenty of cigars to enjoy without overpowering your palate.

It is important to note that there is a difference between ‘strength’ and ‘body’, when it comes to cigars. Strength refers to the nicotine content, so a mild-strength cigar is a cigar with less nicotine in, compared to a strong or full-strength cigar. ​​The body of a cigar refers to the depth of its flavour, so it is possible that a cigar can be mild in strength but full in flavour. You can find out more about this in our blog post:

Camacho Criollo Robusto Tubed Cigar

The Camacho Criollo Robusto cigar is the perfect example of a cigar that is mild in strength without compromising on flavour. Made with Criollo leaf, which sees extra sun during the growing process, giving it an extra pop of spice, which compliments the mellow sweetness present in this cigar. It is well-rounded and balanced, with a mild strength and medium body.

PSyKo Seven Connecticut Toro Cigar

A good way to spot a milder cigar is the word ‘Connecticut’ in the name. This refers to the fact a Connecticut wrapper leaf has been used for the cigar, and they are invariably milder in strength with a sweeter aroma.

The PSyKo Seven Connecticut Toro Cigar is both mild in body and strength, but that doesn’t mean it is boring! It contains a complex blend of seven different tobaccos from six different countries for a fun smoking experience.

Hiram & Solomon Entered Apprentice Robusto Cigar

Mild to medium in body and light in strength, the Entered Apprentice Robusto produces a soft and easygoing smoking experience thanks to its silky Connecticut Shade wrapper and binder. Perfect for a mellow smoking session, you’ll be treated to flavours such as green tea, white pepper, milk, honey and oats.

Romeo y Julieta Petit Julieta Cigar

Romeo y Julieta is often recommended as a great starting point for beginners to the world of cigars. The Petit Julieta Cigar is an ideal choice, as not only is it mild in strength, but it is also small, so it doesn’t take hours to smoke and isn’t too overwhelming for a novice.

The tobacco is light, and the draw is known for being extremely mild and smooth, with subtle notes of earthy flavours along with smoked leather and a little hint of spiciness towards the end.

Davidoff Signature 2000 Cigar

A smooth smoke with mild strength, the Davidoff Signature 2000 cigar still packs a punch with bold flavours of coffee and wood. It is a little smaller than the classic Corona but with a higher percentage of Piloto tobaccos making for a flavourful finish.

Remember, everyone’s taste preferences differ, so it’s essential to explore various brands and cigar types to find the ones that suit your personal taste. Additionally, keep in mind that cigar smoking can be an acquired taste, so take your time to enjoy the experience and savour the flavours.
