Favorite Mild & Medium Strength CCs ?

[JR Kipling]

Hi guys - there's some older threads on this but I'm wondering what your current favorites are in mild & medium strength CCs ? What do you like about them? Sometimes I don't want to smoke a full strength stick. Thanks

QdO Corona. Absolutely, without a doubt, my favorite milder Cuban. Great flavor, relatively smooth, just good stuff.

PLPC FTW

Second the above two and add San Cristobal de la Habana El Principe

 

[Nacho Daddy]

Bolivar and Partagas are the heavy sticks,and neither one would qualify for full compared to the big Nica sticks.
some of the pacific regional sticks are a bit more powerful,at the cost of balance.........

El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme and H. Upmann for me all day long.

H. Upmann Connie #1 along with some of the others above.

My favorite mild is the Juan Lopez no.2. With very few exceptions, everything else cc is medium, IMO.

H.upmann connoisseur #1 .complex flavor

This thread is gold so far. I've been interested in dipping my toe into the CC water lately, and mild/medium is definitely where I'm going to start.
Mwlabel gifted me a box of PLPs a few years ago, they were like crack.

How would you guys rate an H Upmann mag 46 in terms of mild-bold? Just had one of those the other week that sparked my increased interest in CCs

Mag 46 along with the H Upmann #2 are two of my favorite CC's. Both are better with some age on them though.

I added this thread to my watch. I'm still not quite wanting to venture to CCs as I have plenty of NCs to go around but I too would want to start on the low end. That's already a good start mentioned above so I'll have to refer back here when the time comes for adventures.

IMO a good start would be montecristo #4 they are medium but very flavorful and I always enjoy them

 

[sofc]

All of them are mild to medium for me (other than one or two REs)

I agree

One more vote from me for the PLP

My other favorite mild smoke is the LA Flor de Cano Selectos. It's not one of the usual marcas but it was the first box of CCs that I ever had and has been my favorite morning smoke with coffee for 3-4 years now.

JL2, picadores and Hoyo San Juans right now

For me the HDM Epicure Especial is the best mild smoke out there. Beautifully balanced, sweet tobacco and smooth as the day is long.

Anything HDM is pretty mild, although a lot of the dark wrapper sticks are medium at best. The only "full" flavored sticks I haven't cared for have been bolivars, and it wasn't the fullness, I just didn't care for that flavor profile. Although I have never really had a CC that had been any wear near a full NC. So it's safe to say you may get a flavor you don't care for but I've never really had anything too full.

I'm also gonna throw out the HU Connie 1. They are everything a CC should be, nothing more and nothing less
