It\u2019s very, very mild. (If you want something mild, you can\u2019t go wrong with it.)<\/line><BR\/>You also can\u2019t go wrong with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diamondcrown.com\/\">Diamond Crown<\/a>. They make some fabulous cigars. They\u2019re some great people out of Tampa. <\/line><BR\/>Any cigar by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arturofuente.com\/our_cigars_fuente_reg.html\">Arturo Fuente<\/a> is terrific.<\/line><BR\/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cigarworld.com\/brands\/lagloriacubana\/lagloriacubana_index.cfm\">La Gloria Cubana<\/a><\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cigars-review.org\/cigars\/Montecristo.htm\">Montecristo<\/a><\/line><BR\/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cigarsforless.com\/Cigars_in_US\/Partagas.htm\">Partagas<\/a> No. 10 is a good cigar. <\/line><BR\/>(It\u2019s a little heavier than mild.)<\/line><BR\/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ashtoncigars.com\/Ashton-VSG.jsp\">Ashton VSG<\/a>, Virgin Sun Grown, any size. It\u2019s Dominican.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/> If you can find it in the Fuente line, find a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cigarfamily.com\/our_cigars_don_carlos.html\">Don Carlos<\/a>.<\/line><BR\/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.padron.com\/\">Padrn<\/a> from Nicaragua. They\u2019re fabulous cigars. They taste different than any other cigar I\u2019ve ever had. Now, with Padrn you\u2019re dealing with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cigarworld.com\/brands\/macanudo\/maduro\/maduro_history.cfm\">Maduro cigars<\/a>, really dark wrappers there and they can tend to be full-bodied, as it were. I don\u2019t want to say strong. I don\u2019t want to scare people away from them but everybody I\u2019ve given a Padrn cigar to loves \u2019em.<\/line><BR\/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.laflordominicana.com\/paginas\/Ourcigar\/DoubleLigero\/Double_Ligero.html\">La Flor Dominica Double Ligero &#8211; Chisel<\/a>. Now, it is the strongest cigar I have ever smoked. Do you know how I use these? When I play in member guest golf tournaments I take these and I give these in a sign of friendship and sportsmanship to my opponents, and it loops \u2019em out. They get dizzy; they play horribly for two or three holes and sometimes that\u2019s all it takes. It\u2019s called a &#8220;chisel&#8221; because of the way it\u2019s rolled. It looks like a chisel at the end that you clip. It\u2019s made by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cigaraficionado.com\/Cigar\/CA_Profiles\/Cigar_Stars_Profile\/0,2547,154,00.html\">Litto Gomez<\/a>. He\u2019s a great guy.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cigarworld.com\/brands\/punch\/punch_index.cfm?brandid=8\">Punch<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cigarworld.com\/brands\/hoyodemonterrey\/hoyodemonterrey_index.cfm?brandid=5\">Hoyo de Monterrey<\/a>. It\u2019s a great line of cigars out of Honduras. (Not to be confused with the brands of the same name put out by communist-controlled <a href=\"http:\/\/www.habanos.com\/habanos.asp?i=ing\">Habanos s.a.<\/a> of Castro\u2019s Cuba.)<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>The <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cigarfamily.com\/our_cigars_opusx.html\">Opus X<\/a> by Fuente. It\u2019s tough to find, because the Opus X is a special cigar. It\u2019s the first cigar outside of Cuba [or as JFK pronounced it <emphasize>Cuber<\/emphasize>] where the wrapper, binder and filler are grown on the same plantation in the same country. The Fuentes have pulled it off, but they\u2019re very hard to find, and their distribution is &#8212; I\u2019m not sure what it is. If you can find one, good. Opus X is a great cigar<\/line><BR\/>The <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ashtoncigar.com\/Ashton-Cabinet.jsp\">Ashton Cabinet<\/a> selection is another great cigar.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Okay, I have to stop somewhere. I can\u2019t keep mentioning brand names here. I\u2019m going to confuse everybody &#8212; and if you\u2019re just a beginner, I don\u2019t want to overwhelm you. Now, I know a lot of people in the cigar business. (I\u2019m big in the cigar business.) These people love me and when I start giving brands, I invariably forget some and they\u2019re hurt.
