There's something more sophisticated and classic than smoking a cigar. It's not just about looking cool, though. Cigar nights are a great way to bond with friends and enjoy a new hobby, and a nice way to treat yourself when you want to smoke solo too.

However, if you're a newbie to the cigar world, it can be difficult to get your footing. How do you properly cut and light a cigar? What kind of cigar should you even be smoking for your first time? 

We keep bringing this up because we believe the first experience will define the rest of your life has a Cigar Aficionado. And, we know, you will always remember that first cigar, the same way you remember the first kiss or your first love. It's very important that you chose the right one or to have a few that will deliver a very pleasant experience. No one wants to turn green smoking the first cigar so it is important to keep in mind not just your choices but the fact that you don't inhale a cigar.  DO NOT INHALE! period! only savor the smoke in your mouth and then let it out! 

That is what smoking a cigar its all about. Seat back and enjoy the flavors! 

Here's a list of the best cigars for beginners to help you figure this out.

1. Oliva Serie G

The  Oliva Serie G cigar is considered a mild to medium option, but it's smooth enough to start off with. They come in a few different flavors and a handful of sizes too.

Trying different flavors is one of the best things you can do to develop your cigar palate. Staying within the same family of cigars gives you a bit of consistency, while tasting a Presidente or a Churchill, for example, starts to teach you how cigars work. The Oliva Serie G comes also in Maduro and it is considered a medium plus smoke. Even though both can be great smokes, we certainly recommend to start of with the natural and later move to the maduro. 

2. Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real

Another set of good cigars for beginners is the Reserva Real line from Romeo y Julieta. This brand of cigars is well-known for offering quality yet affordable smoking options. What size to choice from? This depend on how much time you have to smoke and how willing you are to relax!

Each puff of a Reserva Real is a love story of its own and one of the most renowned and famous cigars brands. The taste is earthy and light, and the smoke itself doesn't hit too hard either, which makes it great for first-timers. 

3. Macunado Cafe

Up next is the Macanudo Cafe cigar.

This is a mild cigar that hits smooth and finishes with a bit of a bolder hit. It's a nice introductory option for those who are wondering what smoking is all about. I must say this one is the King of the milder smokes. Milder than any other mild cigar. One puff of this cigar will leave anyone wanting more.

4. Arturo Fuente Hemingway

If the options above haven't gotten your attention yet, the Arturo Fuente Hemingway should. This is a favorite for new smokers and those who consider themselves somewhat of a cigar connoisseur. It's just that good. The Hemingway accomodate them all! 

Everything from the wrapping used to how its rolled is all about creating the best experience possible. When you smoke a Hemingway, you realize how much all the little details matter.

5. Flavored Cigars

Maybe the issue in choosing a cigar is not that none of these have caught your attention, but that you're still not sure if you'd enjoy a cigar at all. If that's the case, ease into it by ordering a few flavored cigars.

Flavored cigars are great for taking some edge off the classic taste and feel of a standard cigar. Plus, they're a fun part of the cigar world to explore.

You can check out all the flavored options we have here. Acid Cigars are somehow the favorite to many. Bikers, Women even real cigar aficionados from time to time like to taste the sweetness of an Acid Cigar!

When you still not sure and want to start of smaller cigarillo, these  flavors are also great!
