The 3 Best Mild Cigars for Beginners
By Mariana Heredia
There are 3 main different types of cigar strengths: mild, medium, and full. This grouping has nothing to do with special characteristics such as flavor, aroma, or size in the stogie. These strengths only determine the amount of nicotine the cigar holds. Ideally, a good cigar for a beginner or transitioning cigarette smoker would be a mild cigar as they are a balanced combination of flavor and smoothness. Smoking a cigar for the first time can be tricky. If you want to learn how to smoke a cigar, you should check out that article beforehand. Then, check out the 3 best mild cigars in the world for beginners that we’ve picked out just for you.
The best mild cigars for beginners
Novice puro smokers often find themselves in a sea of products. Without the ideal orientation, a bad choice would leave behind a terrible experience with puros. The different components such as size, aroma, and flavor deeply influence the decision-making process. Each brand selects a range of tobacco leaves from different countries to make up a unique blend. If you find yourself unsure of what stogie to start with, here are Cigar Country’s recommendations for the 3 best mild cigars for beginners:

What size should I pick?
Don’t get overwhelmed with the different size options each mild cigar has to offer from the list above. Each brand offers virtually the same shapes; the only difference is the size of the stogie. A “smaller” cigar is perfect for beginners. Try and opt for the following for the right fit:
- Robusto is a short stogie with an average length of 5 inches and a 50-ring gauge.
- Corona is a distinguished puro by an open foot and a rounded head. This tends to have a size of 5 5/8 inches long with a 42-ring gauge.
- Toro is a fatter and often longer variation of the corona with a standard size of 6 inches and a 50 gauge.
