Being the team cigar aficianado, Ive been put in charge of getting some cigars together for our coach as an end of the year thank you. I generally smoke maduros and more full bodied cigars. My coach likes a milder cigar. I have a good idea of what Im going to get for him (its going to be a sampler type of thing along with a humidor), but I was wondering what some of your favorite "lighter" cigars are.

depends on how much time you have to work with, but I would suggest try to work cigars into a conversation with him, and ask him what he likes......
'cause I would suggest some PI stuf.......and humidor.....;) :r :w

They didnt give me much time, but I did have a cigar with him last night and we chatted a bit. He likes Cuban Montecristos (he worked with the government and had diplomatic papers allowing him to bring them home during his many trips to the Caribbean). Last night I had a CAO Maduro Toro, a Sancho Double Maduro, Padron magnum, and a PI, and he chose the PI, so I'll probably grab a couple of those for him. Hes not an avid smoker so I figured it would be better to get a variety of cigars instead of putting everything into a box he ends up hating.

I have yet to find a concensus on what mild, medium, and full-bodied cigars actually are (everyone seems to use their own judging standards), but if he likes Montecristos, their Dominican counterpart are a good choice. That is the cigar I started out with.
Also, Arturo Fuente Hemingways and regular Ashtons. If you want mild (and you can find them), go for Dunhill Aged, Davidoff, or Griffin's. All three are great cigars and rather on the light side.
Good luck.

Helix is a new brand that is very mild and popular. Also Profesor Sila, a very good lite herf. Ashtons are my favorite though...classic is mild whereas cabinet is mild-medium. Excellent flavor:w
