If you are just starting to smoke cigars, you might be grateful for a helping hand. In Particular, the range and variety of cigars from different provenances are very large. That's why we would like to give you a few tips on what to look out for as a cigar beginner and introduce you to various cigars for beginners with their different characteristics.

Cigars from the Dominican Republic

Two factors are crucial, namely the tobacco blend and the cigar format. For beginners, we are happy to recommend cigars from the Dominican Republic or Honduras, since these tobaccos generally have a milder aroma than, for example, Cuban puros. The Dominican Republic in particular, which many people are familiar with as a holiday destination, should be kept in mind when you are a beginner buying your first cigars. With 220 million rolled cigars per year, the Caribbean state achieves a higher turnover than the Cuban tobacco manufacturers. If you want to increase the spice and aroma, you should use tobaccos from Nicaragua and Cuba.

Which format is suitable for beginners?

As a rule of thumb, the following can be said in simplified terms: the longer and thinner the cigars are, the stronger and more bitter they become in the course of smoking. Therefore, you should initially choose a shorter cigar with a diameter of at least 1.2 cm. Above a certain ring gauge, the cigar also breathes more pleasantly and there is less risk of the drawing resistance being too tight. Just take a look at the Petit Corona, Corona, and Robusto formats. Torpedo formats are more suitable for experienced cigar smokers since the shape can make the draw behavior a little more difficult.

entry-level cigars Especially if you don't have any experience with cigars, you should start with the milder ones, because otherwise, the hot and spicy aromas might discourage you from continuing to deal with the brown gold.

We , therefore, present the following cigars, which are ideal for beginners:

• Don Diego Classic Coronas

The Don Diego Classic Coronas is also one of the medium-strength cigars. It has a creamy, woody, but also nutty aroma.

• Santa Damiana Corona

In the relatively mild Santa Damiana Corona, fruit meets chocolate, nuts, and coffee. This cigar comes from the Dominican Republic.

• Flor de Copan Short Robusto

The Flor de Copan Short Robusto is one of the cigars from Honduras that are ideal for newcomers. Its 10 centimeters convince with a mild thickness and a nutty-chocolate aroma.

• Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure #2

The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 also comes from the land of the revolution. Nevertheless, it is one of the much milder specimens, which is why it is definitely suitable for beginners. Its aromatic diversity is striking: earth, coffee, wood, and other aromas such as cream are combined here.

• H. Upman

We don't want to withhold the Cuban H. Upmann cigars from beginners either. Their strength is mild to medium-bodied, in addition, they offer a clean tobacco taste.

Tip: In general, it is also important to note that you should not smoke a cigar too quickly, otherwise there is a risk that it will become too hot. Burning the tobacco too quickly makes it bitter and the only thing that helps is degassing the cigar.
