So, i was leaning towards 5 vegas golds - but i was also thinking i could try some kind of cheap house blend, but im not sure which house blend's tend to be better (cigar.com has some decent looking ones)


I'm looking to grab a bunch of mild cigars and doing some weird infusion experiments (i have a ton of extracts of mint, clove, vanilla, anise, chocolate, etc.)

looking more for quality construction than lots of flavour since ill probably not like a few that i make

I ordered a bundle of these some time back and really enjoyed them. Good construction and a nice Conn. stick. I think I may have one or two left if you'd like a sample. I'd have to double check though.

The cao flavored cigars use the cao golds as the base. Might be interesting if you try t make the same flavors as them and compare it to each other

CAO CX2 is fairly mild and always seem tu be built pretty well.

i was thinking of cao golds - i have a natural and a maduro sitting in the humi - will have to try the natural soon and see how i like it :]

I had a hand full of Graycliff originals that I infused with rum for two weeks. They had a nice rum taste through out the smoke. Originals are a very mild and very little to no taste cigar for me. So I kicked them up a notch.

Flor de Oliva Golds are VERY mild, and quite cheap.

I would recommend Perdomo Fresco Naturals...it's a bundled cigar with a very nice price point and after 15 years I still smoke the maduros, however if your going to try infusing them stick to the naturals so the flavor of the infusion does not compete with the flavor of the wrapper.

thanks for all the suggestions so far, not sure what to choose

Cheap, but a good mild smoke. Quickly becoming my go to smoke over far more expensive stuff in my humi. Ive got 5 of them and a few other sticks packed in coffee right now for my own infusion experiment. Hope 6 months is enough.

Perdomo Champagne, but they are a little more
than you might want to spend.
I think it might be the best mild smoke out there...

Can't beat the 5 Golds in my book,especially when purchased under 2 bucks a stick. I also like the Oliveros 1927 blend. Nice mild cigar with great flavor and 100% construction.Well under 2 bucks a stick.

 

[Zogg]

im between getting something really cheap (like those pdr's) the flor de oliva golds, or going a tad more $ for 5vegas golds

 

[Breakaway500]

I have not had a bad 5 Gold,including the nuggets.Not even marginally bad.For the money,the best cigar value out there, I have found.
I am NOT including the 5 Gold maduros,as they are on my shit list.I would not smoke another if one if they were gifted to me.

The Perdomo Champagne already mentioned is also a great smoke,but usually more money.

+1 on the Fresco Naturals. Had one this morning and was amazed by the construction. Nothing overpowering flavor-wise so it strikes me as a good one to use for infusion.

I always keep a bundle of these around.

Adam, have you been to their new shop yet? The humidor is much bigger than the old warehouse was. They also carry more brands now.

I have never been to the old shop. First time I heard of them, they were still moving. First time I went there was also the day they got Twists, and HSG's back in stock, a couple of weeks back. Friendly staff, and very helpful. Next time Im on the North side of the Metro, Im going to stock up on some more Twists and another bundle or 2.

I think it was you that told me about Taboo, wasnt it? Best advice I got from this site yet.
