Best High-End Mild smokes

[Aithos]

I have a few buddies I would like to introduce to the hobby. I mostly smoke maduros and full strength sticks unless I am looking for a morning smoke. I tend towards lower end smokes when I go mild.

So, I am looking for suggestions for high end mild smokes. Like real high – Davidoffs and such. I want something that will make them really take notice and say “wow, that’s a good smoke”.

I'm not sure why everyone thinks this, I had smoked some fairly expensive mild smokes (Ashton, Rocky Patel) and I never liked any of them. Honestly, it's a big reason why my New Years cigar was the only one I smoked all year. It wasn't until I had some more flavorful cigars that I really got interested. I mean I enjoyed the RyJ Vintage 1875 and Montecristo Classic and White, but the Flor de las Antillas, LADC and LP#9, Ave Maria and Oliva MB3 are the cigars that I enjoyed significantly more. I'd get some solid medium cigars and then ask them if they would like milder or fuller from there...
