Choosing First Cuban

[KH63]

Looking for a birthday CC. Going to be travelling outside the US and not a US citizen so no rules broken. New to cigars like them very mild and creamy. Short list from research. Thoughts and suggestions?

• Quai d`Orsay Imperiales
• Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 1
• Hoyo de Monterrey Palmas Extra

Thanks

Can't speak for the Qdo or JL as I don't have a ton of experience with them. I can howerever speak for the Palma extra becuase it's my favorite cheap cigar. I would definatley not put them in the mild and creamy catagory. They are more of a medium spicy stick.

Thanks I'll mark that off my list.

Cohiba Siglo IV or VI. Creamy and mild. Great cigars.

My first cc ever was a PSD4 and today it may still be one of most favorite cc sticks....

I vote Montecristo, take your pick.

H Upmann in right up your smooth and creamy alley. The mag 46 or Mag 50.

I'm a Pretty big Boli fan but I have to admit the Mag 46 is damn good.

I'd say Monte or Cohiba Siglo for what you described...but you may also really like Ramon Allones because they're soooo flavorful and they're easy flavors to pick up.

I love JL but they need some rest on them to be good. Bolivar also needs some rest and can be a tad strong. PSD4s are great and very popular but a little on the strong side.

The QdO Imperiales is a great cigar. Do try and have one.

Other "First Cubans" I'd recommend.

Partagas Series D4 // H Upmann Magnum 50 // Ramon Allones Specially Selected // Montecristo Especiale No 1 // RyJ Short Churchill

Bolivar Royal Corona

Qd'O Imp

Of the sticks you have listed, I would say the JL1 for an economic smoke, the QdO for a real treat.

 

[Skitalets]

Qd'O Imp

Agreed. A lot of good cigars have been named, but if the OP wants something mild, most of the suggestions here don't really fit the bill. QdO is a great marca and solidly on the mild side.

Thanks for the responses

Montecristo #2 or Cohiba Siglo VI I always recommend first. Best cigar memory I have was my first #2 with my Father.
