Top 5 Mellow Cigars
Рет қаралды 79,587
Күн бұрынJoin Mazz in the cigar lounge as he discusses his favorite blends with a mellow profile. If you love mild and nuanced blends, this video is for you!
Today, Mazz meticulously walks you through each cigar's attributes, beginning with the elegant Ashton Classic and its subtle buttery notes. Next is the distinctive La Aroma De Cuba Connecticut, followed by the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva, a popular choice when seeking a mellow cigar with a ton character.
We then explore the boundary-pushing San Cristobal Elegancia with its unique white pepper note- a rarity in mellow cigars. Lastly, we delve into the classic Dominican Montecristo, the mildest among our selections, offering toasty notes and exemplary construction.
Remember, having a mild to mellow collection in your humidor is as crucial as maintaining a diverse wine cellar or spice cabinet. Different occasions will always call for different flavors.

I really like that you included a darker-wrapped cigar. It serves as a reminder that a darker cigar doesn't always equal a stronger cigar.

Mellow cigars are still my go to. Ive been smoking for over 30 years and I still think mild to medium are the most enjoyable smokes. The whole pepper bombs and full bodied monster craze really hit the scene in popularity about 15 years ago I never truly got it. I mean if you love to smoke with a whiskey or bourbon then yes, a full bodied smoke makes sense because that alcohol will over power your palette and a mild to even medium bodied stick will get lost and you aren’t tasting tobacco, you are tasting the booze. But Ive never been a big drinker. Water, tea, soda is what I drink while smoking. Cigars were never meant to kick your ass so to speak. It’s about flavor and relaxation for me. Your picks on your list have been some of my go to’s for years. Consistency for decades. Anything Fuente makes either for Ashton, JC Newman or their own line are definitely the kings of mild to medium smokes. Diamond Crown Julius Caesar is one my favorites or the regular Diamond Crown. The Camacho Connecticut is also one my go to’s for a more affordable everyday smoke.

The Ashton Classic is one I tried on Mazz's recommendation (in another video) and man what a good cigar. Easily my favorite right now and one I think I'll always have in my humidor. The San Cristobal Elegancia is also a very good mild cigar (a little more spicy than the Ashton). I will definitely smoke my way through the rest of these. Das on St. Maartin has some good mild and mild to medium cigars that I really like. Just wish he had a storefront online.

Always been an infrequent smoker (1-3 a week during the summer only) and got the Elegencia in a sampler this yr. Looked at it and immediately thought it was gimmicky due to the parrot on the label. Boy was I wrong. What a great cigar. Mellow, flavorful, excellent construction and burn.

As a beginner smoker, I'm struggling to discern the "flavor" in cigars. I also have a hard time determining if a cigar is mellow or not. I bet if I was blindfolded, I couldn't tell the difference. I have a similar problem with wine. It all tastes the "same". I enjoy smoking cigars but am wondering if I will ever develop a sense of "taste".

When I first began smoking cigars I had the same experience. You’re not alone. Start making notes of the cigars that you’ve enjoyed. After a few months look back & see if can find common areas in those cigars. Maybe you like a particular wrapper or county of origin. A pattern will definitely emerge. Hopefully this helps 😉

@holtscigars 5 ай бұрын
You don't have to worry about placing different types of cigars in the same humidor, BUT the only thing you should avoid is placing a flavored or infused cigar (like the Sweet Jane) in a humidor with unflavored cigars as the aromas from the infused cigars will taint the unflavored cigars, and the humidor itself.
