Cigar Weekly

Rob G · 08-27-2015, 11:32 AM

I generally don't smoke until the evening and occasionally after lunch. I rarely smoke in the morning. But when I was up at the lake this past week I found myself sitting on the deck in the morning and enjoying an Ashton Classic Double Magnum. Ashton's, at least the "Classic" sticks, are mild, yet flavorful. In my opinion they are perfect for a morning cigar.

Unfortunately, they tend to be pricey. I got these from Trigger14 when he was selling a couple 5 packs. But the normal price is far more than what I'd want to pay.

Anyone have any recommendations for a good, inexpensive, morning cigar, or something similar to the Ashton Classic line?

Perdomo Lot 23 Connecticut might fit the bill...

A bit obvious, but you might also try the Varina Farms Breakfast Blend.

Another few that come to mind.....Montecristo White Label, and two from Sindicato: Casa Bella and Affinity.

Perdomo Champagne and Gispert Natural, especially the Churchill, are both excellent mild smokes with great flavor.

My #1 is PLPC. Other than that I would pick CAO Gold or Man O War Virtue.

5 Vegas Gold might work for you.

Agree with the above. All the other lines have been shit except for the gold.

Seeing as I only smoke one cigar a day, unless I'm on the golf course, I smoke whatever seems good at moment be it full or mild bodied.
