I can't think of any mild to medium NC puro, every time I think about a NC puro they are always on full bodied side. I was just curious to see if anyone had suggestions... Maybe some of the less known brands from cubancrafters? | ||

Schizo by Asylum Inferno by Oliva These were made only for famous Smoke Shop Go to www.jrcigar.com for the schizo and the inferno at www.famous-smoke.com You won't believe how cheap these are in price. I bought a box of each and only spent $92.00 for both. They are a great change of pace cigar, both are puro's and both have a great taste and profile.This message has been edited.

La Fontana Vintage (Hond) Dunhill Aged Dominican Cubano Claro (Nicar Puro)...my favorite from Crafters. | |||

Thanks, but are you sure these are mild? The inferno contains ligero, and the Asylum is advertised as medium-full... | |||

Punch Gran Puro is a medium bodied smoke. I used to smoke them when I first started smoking. Not a bad smoke. | |||

I was actually thinking about the Fontana, I really like Camachos (the corojo diploma is one of my all time favorites) but I'm not totally sold on the sweetened cap thing... How are those Fonatanas? The Cubano Claro sounds interesting, I don't wanna get a whole box of something I've never tried though, I'm gonna look if I can find a small sampler. On a different note I didn't know they were growing Connecticut shade in Nicaragua, I wonder how it compares to the USA Conn and the Equador one. Btw I was looking on a vendor website and it says the Dunhill Aged Dominicans sport a USA Conn wrapper, did they get it wrong? | |||

I like the Fontana with my morning breakfast blend coffee (with milk). I'm NOT a fan of flavored/infused cigars, but the Fontana is moderately sweetened with sugar gum...it generally disappears after 1/3. Stand corrected on the Dunhills...really really mild smoke. Per Crafter's site, all tobac on the Cubano is sourced from one farm in Nicar. Flavor similar to the Illusione Epernay, but milder body. Snagged a box of Cubano Petit under $60...the humidor box is crap. | |||

La Casita Criolla is med body US puro (rolled in Nicaragua). It's meh...too much wrapper leaf (imo). | |||

Oliva master blend and the new melanio...mild to medium...there are a lot more in my humi but I just glanced over there | |||

I am a bit confused, when you say NC are you speaking of Non Cuban or Nica's? There are dozens of dominican puro's that are very mild smokes. | |||

I don't find either of these in the mild to medium range. | |||

OK, thanks for clarifying. Like I said, many puros from DR in the mild to medium range. BTW the Serie V Melanio is not a puro, wrapper is sumatran. | |||

Yep I meant non Cuban. I don't know about Dominican puros, there are not that many, and most milder smokes use a Connecticut USA/Ecuador wrapper. When I think about Dominican puros I think about OpusX, Litto Gomez, definitely not mild cigars. | |||

The Santos is a nice medium body smoke. Clean flavors...I sensed a little of mint as well. The Haven is an extreme box-press with a pigtail cap. Snagged a 10ct box for $50 (online auction). | |||

Inferno is the best deal going. You can often pick up $15 five packs on monster. Absolutely perfect burn, and an interesting, complex flavor that changes as you smoke. I'm a total cigar noob, but I feel like they'd be even better with age. It tasted sort of like a really good soup that hasn't had time to simmer, I could taste the individual elements rather than a single unifying flavor. Also they offer free economy shipping.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Daniel Bourgeois, | |||
