For the casual smoker wanting a light cigar: Macanudo Hyde Cafe, Arturo Fuente original, AVO or Perdomo brands.

These are lighter cigars that use Connecticut Shade tobacco as the wrapper in most cases. 98% of light colored cigars are more mild, less oils and can be drier. They get stale easier.

Buy a 52 or 54 ring size. A toro or robusto is a good size. Use a V-cut for a box-pressed rectangle shape or large punch for a round cigar.

Don't "power puff" your cigar. Take your time. Cigars get relit all the time. There are no chemicals to keep them burning.

Don't keep flicking the ash as you may knock off the lit area. Let the ash grow and slide the cigar ash across the top of the ashtray to remove 90% of the ash.

Last but most important: NEVER put out a cigar in an ashtray like a cigarette. Let it go out by itself..

Good recommendations. I have tried 2 of those. Don't have a rec for AF but I will say Perdomo Lot 23 is one of my favorites.

I agree about the Connecticut wrappers. That's usually what I look for.

As for the best cigar, my recommendation would be a Rocky Patel White Label.
