Giving it a try again

[Commander Quan]

There are plenty of fine blends that do not have over the top casing if that's what you're worried about. When you go ask to see some English blends, these are blends that have a condiment tobacco called latakia, which has a smokey BBQ flavor, and are easy to get a flavorful smoke from without over puffing. McClelland's Frog Morton is a popular one.

If you smoke cigars often it will probably take a short while for you're palate to adjust to the softer flavors. Cigars, even mild ones are very aggressive flavor wise compared to a pipe because the quality of smoke a fraction of what you are used to.
