My favorite smoke is a medium body/strength Cuban cigar that is 39 x 5". I find this size perfect for a 40 minute smoke and also I really like the 38-40 ring gauge area.

Can you guys recommend a great non Cuban cigar in the same size. I like mild to medium cigars from brands such as AF, Ashton, Cuesta Rey, Diamond Crown, Macanudo, Montesino and Padron (when I'm reaching for a non Cuban).

Also, I prefer smokes that are super smooth and creaming, leaving the pallet feeling clean after I smoke.

Whenever I'm in the mood for a mild but tasty stick I usually head for a Macanudo. I picked up some Old Fashioned 550's (Mac. seconds) for cheap from llynncigars.com and they're very good.

 

[jabba]

what are 550s?

 

[indy]

They're Old Fashioned's. The 550 is the Mac Hyde Park second. There's more info here on the different seonds and what they are.

I would try the following:

Fonseca 5-50
Fonseca Serie F 5 x 52 or 4.75 x 43

I've tried the Fonsecas and I'm not crazy about them. Thanks though.

Indy, Where do you buy your Old Fashioneds from?

Not sure about NC smokes with that ring gauge.
Go up to 43 and IMO, Davidoff Millennium PC is
the best 43 gauge - very tasty cigar.

"Padron Londres" is 42x5.5, it comes in Maduro or Natural, whichever you prefer. Tasty medium bodied cigar, and IMO the best cigar you can buy for about 2 dollars. My favorite cheap smoke.

I keep a few boxes aging but lately I've found them to be a little harsh and under filled.

They are good but a little pricey.

I bought from L. Lynn Cigars last time, but also check Mike's Cigars.

Tres Mystique or the Don Carlos #4. They aren't your exact specifications, but are close enough.

I'm not sure those are mild to medium, I find the Don Carlos line rather strong.

What did I say to be slandered in this thread?

Yup, I keep those around also, they are great.

To answer Jabba's original question, I hear the CAO Moontrance comes in a nice 4x40 size. Perfect!

 

[nhcigarfan]

Sancho panza dbl mad. comes in a petite corona size.

 

[centurycigar]

If you can find them CAO Brazilia has a small cigar that comes in tins of 5 called Cariocas.
