Best Cigars for Women?
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. The husband has been smoking cigars for a few months now and I've tried a few of his, but I really haven't found one I enjoy. Any suggestions on a good, mild cigar for a woman? Any input would be appreciated!

Well, since it's Palm Sunday, I guess I'll take the high road - start with milds like 5 Vegas Gold, Oliva Connecticut Reserve, Macanudo, Rockey Patel Connecticut and Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne
then the Gran Cru.
while in nicaragua she expanded her horizons with JdN cabinetta, Camacho connecticut. she is far more willing to get into infused than i am. she is looking forward to trying the Acid liquid that i picked up in the "crap cigar" pass a few weeks ago.
im not sure she will like it. i started the wife on the best of the best.
she is now VERY picky. any small problems and shes done with it fast.
according to the tour guide at the Oliva factory, the Cain Daytona is "a smoke for women"
sounds sexist, but the tour guide was a woman. she said it was one fo her favorite blends they have produced. this was before they handed us one and before they came out so i had to take her word for it.
I just need to find out how to get her to start smoking cigars instead of cigarettes... maybe I should just buy her one and give it to her as gift instead of asking her if she's ever going to get into it.
Welcome to a great hobby that will help you relax and drain you bank account. You will also learn a lot if you stick around here the member on the forum are the best.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, isn't that what Uncle Sigy says? Some milder ones I like in the morning are 5-Veags Gold, Vegas Classic, Gurkha Micro Batch and others. The fun is in the sampling.
There are a lot of great suggestions here! A few of my favorites have already been listed, but I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents in case you wanted some suggestions directly from another female smoker. It depends on the cigar, but I usually stick with the robusto size. Some of these are more of a medium-bodied smoke, but still great for those who usually prefer mild:
1. Perdomo Rsv 10th Champagne
2. Perdomo Lot 23 (Yeah, I'm a Perdomo fan)
3. Gran Habano Vintage '02
4. Cusano 18 Connecticut
5. Man O' War Virtue
The CAO flavours sampler is great too because you can try one of each flavor, if you want to go the flavored route. Also, Tabak Especial!!!

Maduros and Cammeroon wrapped cigars got me into the hobby. So a few maduros that I enjoyed early on are the Macanudo Maduro, the original Fuente with the maduro wrapper, Ashton maduro, Partagas black and Onyx. As for Cameroons, I smoked a bunch of the Original Fuente line in the cameroon wrapper and Partagas. So if you've tried and liked the house blend blue label then try the house blend sampler. its got 8 cigars with different wrappers and it'll give you a feel for what sort of things you like and what you don't. then you can tailor your search to your taste.
But honestly, when your starting out it'll be helpful to hit up a local B&M too, just smell them and if it smells like you'd like it, then give it a shot. hahaha, but be sure to read the "disgusting peopel at the B&M" thread before you let the shop cut it for you.
+1 I was thinking the same with CCOM Brazilian Label. Look at that, now she has a little help from a females point of view. Tina's to the rescue. Way to go.......
Everyone has their own tastes and palates
My local B&M has a lovely lady who is the wife of the Owner and when I bought some sticks and a cutter she was smoking an Air Bender...
I think "Cigars for Women" would be more likened to cigars for newbies... Something smooth to get the palate warmed up and a cigar that is very noteworthy for a certain flavor so that the smoker can "Pick it out" and feel accomplished right away...
For shame... You guys are sexist!
