You’re new to cigars and don’t want to waste time guessing. You just want something that’s smooth, easy and doesn’t knock you flat. I get that. So I put together a list of five cigars that beginners actually come back for. These aren’t hype picks — they’re for cigar people, by cigar people.
All five are in stock right now at TinderBox.com. You can grab one or two and figure out what you like without overthinking it.
1. Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Natural
Made in the Dominican Republic. Mild to medium body, creamy draw, hint of sweetness, and consistent from start to finish. It’s one of the easiest cigars to enjoy if you’re just starting out.
2. Macanudo Inspirado White Robusto
Connecticut Shade wrapper, smooth and mellow. Mild flavor with notes of cedar and nuts. No harshness, no surprises. Ideal if you’re testing the waters and want a cigar that’s light but flavorful.
3. Drew Estate ACID Blondie
Short and sweet. Literally. This cigar is infused with herbs and botanicals — gives off a sweet, herbal aroma that people love, especially new smokers. It’s flavorful, smooth, and super easy to smoke.
4. Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Robusto
Classic Dominican blend with a silky Connecticut wrapper. Creamy, smooth, and just enough spice to keep it interesting. This is a go-to for anyone trying their first few cigars.
5. Tatuaje El Triunfador
This one’s a step up in flavor, but still smooth and balanced. It’s a medium-bodied Nicaraguan cigar wrapped in a dark Connecticut Broadleaf. You’ll get rich notes of cocoa, espresso, chocolate and earth with a touch of spice—nothing too strong, just enough to keep it interesting. Great if you’re ready to try something with more depth without going full strength.
You don’t need to commit to one cigar right away. Try two or three of these and see what fits. Want something shorter? For Full body try the Crowned HeadsJuarez, or something flavor infused try the ACID Blondie. Want something creamy and mild? Macanudo and Fuente are your best bets.
Once you figure out what strength and flavor you like, I’ll help you find your next five. That’s what we do here.
