Light to Medium Body Cigars - what are your favs?

BUCASmoker · 07-08-2009, 06:11 PM

So I am not entirely new to smoking, so I know some of my favorite cigars, but I am looking for a list of some light to medium body cigars that are worth picking up and can be picked up for a a decent price (in 5ers or samplers).

My favorite cigars so far are:
Punch Rare Corojo
Padron Anni series
AVO (orange label)

What do you guys recommend getting that would be similar to those (although I think the Padron is a bit more of a med-full body, and too far out of my price range). I need to fill up my humi with some daily smokes and pack some up to cause some havoc on some of you old(er) farts

Casa Torano, Nat Sherman Hobart and Don Diego Anniversario. All light and mild but full on flavor.

Torano Exodus 1959 would be a good choice for a medium bodied cigar.

Any brown or white label montecristo...and if you want the ultimate lite/medium body sticks I think most CC's fit the bill!

NCRadioMan · 07-08-2009, 06:20 PM

Ashton Benchmade, Tobaccos Baez and LADC Edition Especial for solid, medium body full flavored cigars. Not to mention Pepin's!

Isn't the AF Hemi pretty expensive?

Helps a bunch. I'll look into the RP and 5Vegas ones. Thanks!

I agree with TripleF: Oliva Connecticut Reserve (lonsdale) and Hoyo de Tradicion (corona)

Jimbo14 · 07-09-2009, 08:24 AM

Zino Platnium Series

Lucky_Hippo · 07-09-2009, 09:16 AM

Ashton classic is always a winner with me if I'm looking for something on the lighter side. For some reason I always seam to pick out raisins on the pre-light draw, and it's a nice change of pace.

rizzle · 07-09-2009, 10:12 AM

Perdomo Champagne might fit that bill.

I like the Taboo Twist and Hoyo de Tradicion a lot, the 5 Vegas Gold too, though a little less.

I see you have noted this one already, but I cannot let it pass without a hearty endorsement. Love these. I like the gold label.

Have you tried the RyJ Habana Reserve? It's fairly inexpensive, and light to medium bodied. Good flavor, but not terribly complex. Good every day smoke, and they come 27 to a box (robusto, anyway), so you get a lot of sticks with your purchase.

ade06 · 07-09-2009, 03:35 PM

NC Monticristo Whites are my favorite in this catagory.

TanithT · 07-09-2009, 03:46 PM

That's easy. Cubans.

Lately I've been getting seriously into the Bucanero Z Churchill. It's a woodsy, creamy smoke with an elegant structure, enough spice and rich flavor development to stay interesting, and a long, savory finish. Absolutely A+ smoke. Also it's cheap as hell, and smokes like a much more expensive stick than it is. That and the Don Douglas are currently my everyday go-to sticks, cheap enough to be yard 'gars but with a flavor profile that is just as complex and tasty as a higher-end premium.

Montecristo Whites, 5 Vegas Gold, Hoyo de Tradicion, R&J Reserva Real, Ashton Classic, and Davidoffs are some of my favorite Mild/Medium smokes. All are light bodied but have a good amount of flavor.

hotreds · 07-09-2009, 04:27 PM

Macanudos- all fit the mild/medium frame.
