WHAT IS THE BEST BEGINNER CIGAR?

There is a much increase in the so-called “cigar enthusiasts” which enjoy the taste and aroma for cigars during special occasions like weddings, birthday parties, sports events, golf and for general celebration, says us at Taylors Tobacconists of Bond Street in Brighton & Hove UK.

The enthusiasts know that a good cigar can deliver a great spirit and be a high value companion during special occasions. There are very good Cuban cigars and new world cigars that can be enjoyed by cigars beginners and don’t have to break the bank.

We say that “cigars enthusiasts” shop for medium to mild cigars that can be paired with their favourite alcoholic drink like good quality Whisky, Rum, Gin and of course Wine also during celebrations and rely on the cigar as best companion for taste and enjoyment.

We at Taylors Tobacconists have selected 10 popular cigars for enthusiasts that bring the proper balance in aroma and flavour.

In no particular order we have:

1- La Flor Dominicana (Dominican Republic Cigar): An aroma spectacle of oak, earth and coffee marries here with spices, a light pepperiness, the sweetness of cocoa, raisins, cinnamon and treacle. In addition, this Maduro produces white ash.

2- La Aurora (Dominican Republic Cigar): This figurado is sweet, tangy, flowery and slightly peppery. It develops woody, nutty and feathery aromas, underscored by cinnamon, cocoa and almonds. Excellent, balanced, gentle and cool in the smoke.

3- AJ Fernandez (Nicaraguan Cigar): This box of pressed Toro delivers a lot of velvety, creamy smoke. It is spicy, tangy, develops a delicate child-bite, and at the same time, a delicate chocolate sweetness and aromas of cedar, leather, peat and coffee.

4- Alec Bradley (Honduras Cigar): A mixture of woody aromas. A tangy cigar with espresso and honey sweetness, leather and a nutty taste in the creamy smoke. A fantastic blend to be experienced and enjoyed.

5- Vegafina (Dominican Republic Cigar): Leaves and hay. Licorice, cedar and coffee characterise the beginning. The following are hazelnuts, the scent of bread, the sweetness of dried fruit, cocoa and honey. A balanced cigar, slightly tangy and sweet.
