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.

Should make a box with these 5 cigars in it

The Ashton Classic at the beginning with a cup a coffee is always nice for me in the Texas spring time, or on the golf course.

Undercrown shade is my fav conneticut at the moment

The Arturo Fuente 858 Natural and the San Cristobal Elegancia are my personal favorites!

Excellent intro. Definitely a time and place for all kinds of blends.

Hi Anthony As usual another masterful presentation. I have been an Ashton man for 30 years. Always going with the Ashton Classic Churchill. Only recently have I tried the double magnum and the Cabinet No. 8. Staying in the Ashton family. Again, I appreciate your videos and shorts. Best regards, Stuart

Perdomo Champagne (Churchill size) - The way the flavor changes and develops over the length of the Churchill is amazing. My favorite mellow to medium cigar hands down!

The world I move within, no matter what it is, has variety. I love trying different foods, drinks and cigars... And that Ashton you started with is awesome.... Thanks Anthony...

Sobremesa brulee Macanudo vintage 2010 Southern Draw Rose of Sharon Perdomo Champagne All very good choices as well!

You can't go wrong with the mellow blends you've selected. Thx for the vid. I've recently been enjoying the Henry Clay War Hawk in the morning.

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.

I love them all and have bought many cigars from mild to full strength and I truly enjoy switching it up on a regular basis. My go-to mild is the Monte Cristo for obvious reasons especially in the morning with a cup of coffee. Excellent selection Mazz.

Mild cigars are my favorite!!

My first cigar was a Montecristo 👌🏼 All your picks are spot on. You can’t go wrong with any of them.

Great review and knowledge Anthony! Thank you!

Nice video!!! I liked when you compare de sistem cigars with wine. Fantastic!!! Regrads from Portugal!!!

Great content, made me rethink my approach and collection of cigars.

Just got myself this sampler, can’t wait to try them all.. thanks for the recommendations! 👊🏼

That San Cristobal elegancia is phenomenal. Makes me enjoy that white pepper, staring to adjust to Ashton. Didn't like them at first. An dont forget the Bella Cuba...

My first cigar was a Partagas (habano). NOT a mellow cigar by any means but I loved it. Now that I'm older, I've been exploring milder cigars. The Ashton Heritage is a good example. Good flavor, pleasant aroma, great relax smoke. I'll continue my exploration of these milder cigars. Thanks Anthony!

Fantastic list. Huge fan of all, but especially the Ashton classic. I do miss Thomas Hinds

Excellent video as always. I like the Davidoff Signature No. 2, which also was my first cigar (following Eddie Sahakian).

Montecristo White Series is the one i always have

Incredible video. Amazing production value and editing as well as awesome knowledge. Keep it up !!

You can never find the perfect Cigar. And even then you’re gonna wanna find something that fits your mood that day. It’s like food.

Yep subscribed thank you sir

These takes are knowledgeable and well presented.

Was in the mood today in fact...sun was out, chose Oliva Conn and paired with mellow Glenlivet 12. Love 858 sg but closer to medium to me.

This is the man I perfected my cigar palette from going into Holys n talking with him has been the best experience in my life!! N I smoke most of these cigars!!

I like the Ashton Classic, the Argyle White Glove, and the Macanudo Cafe so far. Great smokes and definitely mellow cigars.

Fantastic awesome thank you !

I appreciate this information, especially as I'm just getting into the cigar world!

I frequently have a mild cigar mid day at my local lounge. All depends on how I feel and it tends to go in cycles. Good vid!

My favorite mellow cigar is the Oliva Melanio 2023 figurino.

I love Maduros but like you said sometimes I just need to take a break. Gotta have variety. Thanks Anthony!

I enjoy the La Aroma De Cuba Connecticut. I also quite frequently enjoy a Tatuaje Cabaiguan Guapos. Also the Southern Draw Rose of Sharon is very high atop this list for me.

White label rocky patel and the my father Connecticut series. The best mild-mellow cigars

My go to mellow is the AJ new world ct-perfect with coffee every morning. Same wirh the my father ct. cool review too, thx!!

Lower cost mellow cigars in my buddy box are always Baccarat. I like Sobramesa Brulee followed with a Melania V Figurado. I like to ramp up cigar strength. Undercrown shade flying pig stood out for me recently.

Dunbarton has taken over the mild cigar game. The Brulee and Brulee Blue are top mild sticks.

The brick house Churchill or the la palina Connecticut comes to mind of mellow cigars I really enjoy. I need to grab the my father Connecticut but can’t find in the corona size.

Since I've gotten more into cigars, I enjoy having multiple types, flavors, wrappers in my humidors. Depending on my day, I want a lighter cigar some I want that punch. I have learned so much about cigars watching this channel, I love the variety that I (full disclosure, my wife ordereds all my cigars) have in my humidors.

Agreed!

So far Montecristo white label is my favorite still have lots to try.

I had my first La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut last night and it was much more peppery and medium to full bodied, which I was not expecting. Still a good cigar, but not mild to me. Oliva Connecticut is more mellow and flavorful imo.

Diamond Crown are elegant approachable cigars.

Drew Estate Undercrown Shade. I love the whole Undercrown lineup.

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.

Great selection. I recently enjoyed a Brick House Connecticut worth mentioning 👍🏾.

Another great one in the book

The Southern Draw Desert Rose is a phenomenal mild cigar. Velvety smooth wrapper & flavorful but still mellow. Would love to see a review!

I have no problem grabbing a Rocky Patel Connecticut

Over my 30 years with cigar smoking I have always preferred a more mellow cigar. Sometimes I want a medium to full body cigar with a lot of peppery spice, but usually I have preferred mellow

the brick house with a natural wrapper is a excellent smoke. it is a little hard to find most places sell the connecticut wrapper which is o.k. the natural wrapper is a little stronger.

Olivia Connecticut I've found to have really great flavor complexity for a mellow cigar. Always appreciared hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur back in the day too. Rose of Sharon is way over rated in my opinion. Same for Romeo and Juliet reserva real. It's a no go for me.

Chain smoking cigars while in the swamps keeping mosquitoes away all day I don't want a Punch Punch. Different strengths for different situations.

Does anyone know where to get the La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut in the uk? this sounds nice but I can’t find it anywhere.

Hi new here I recently started getting into smoking cigars and so far I’ve only tried the perdomo reserve champagne which I liked and the sweet Jane which was nice to but wanted to ask I’m lookin into buying a box to keep my cigars in and so would you recommend having one box with multiple different types of cigars or separate boxes with only like same brand name type of cigars

@holtscigars

4 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.
