Cigars by Strength

Our Cigars by Strength category encompasses cigar types by the overall body of the smoke and the impact it has on your palate and senses. The standard guideline in the premium cigar industry, and among manufacturers that produce the blends, is that cigars are mild (mellow), mild to medium, medium, medium to full, or flat out full-bodied (bold) in strength.

The strength of a cigar has nothing to do with taste or flavor but simply how much nicotine the cigar holds. Choose wisely between strength profiles because you are inevitably making a choice that will make the smoking experience enjoyable or disagreeable. When in doubt, choose mild to medium and progress towards bolder cigars. Taste or flavor is more subjective so it will be up to you to try new cigars and determine if you like them.

Some premium cigar smokers gradually move up in strength as their tolerance level increases, while others find their ideal profile on the first try. However, for most, our cigars by strength guide will help you determine which smokes you could be enjoying throughout the day. You might want to start the day with a mild cigar with your coffee and end the evening with a full-bodied powerhouse after a steak dinner.

Master blenders create cigars for all sorts of well-refined palates. Beginners and morning smokers can find fine examples of mild cigar strength in such classics as VegaFina and Don Diego. We offer great medium-bodied blends by Davidoff, Montecristo, and Romeo y Julieta for those who prefer to play it safe in the middle. For the adventurous in pursuit of their nicotine rush, we carry bold blends by LFD Cigars, OpusX and Ashton VSG.
