By now, if you’ve consistently been smoking cigars for 3 plus years, you’d be considered a seasoned cigar smoker! You’ve made your way past being a beginner cigar smoker and a moderate cigar smoker. Believe it or not, there are a lot of benefits to being a seasoned cigar smoker.
You start to appreciate the flavor of cigars more, you gain knowledge and appreciation for the tradition and history cigars hold, and you may even have a better understanding of approaching cigar smoking in moderation.
Enjoying the ritual of cigar smoking tends to be overlooked by beginner cigar smokers, so like a fine wine, seasoned cigar smokers may age their cigars longer and enjoy the nuances in every puff.
For our Beginner Cigar Kit for Seasoned Smokers, we have five premium brand cigars in which you’ll receive two of each in your kit.
We want you to enjoy each cigar provided in this kit, get an understanding of their flavor profile and appreciate the time and effort each manufacturer took to create these blends.
So, let’s dive into our Beginner Cigar Kit for Seasoned Cigar Smokers list to gain a better understanding as to why these cigars are perfect for experienced cigar smokers!
Undercrown 10 Toro
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Mexican San Andres
Binder: Broadleaf
Filler: Nicaragua
Length: 6
Ring: 52
Strength: Medium-Full
Smoke Time: 70 Minutes
A cigar that would be perfect for a seasoned cigar smoker to have in their humidor is the Undercrown 10 in the 6 x 52 Toro size. Created in 2021 to celebrate Undercrown’s 10th anniversary, Drew Estate utilizes Connecticut Broadleaf from their famous Liga Privada line to celebrate this milestone.
Undercrown 10 features a Mexican San Andres wrapper and Nicaraguan tobacco for the filler. This blend is ideal for seasoned cigar smokers because they will likely be more attuned to its depth due to their experience in comparison to a beginner cigar smoker, appreciating the complexity while enjoying this scrumptious cigar.
Overall, I’d say Drew Estate has a cigar line for all types of smokers out there, but the Undercrown 10 would be a perfect cigar to add to your collection or gift to a fellow seasoned cigar smoker.
HVC Serie A Perlas
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo ‘99
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Length: 5.62
Ring: 46
Strength: Medium
Smoke Time: 60-65 Minutes
HVC Cigars is a company that has a variety of cigars for all different types of cigar smokers. If you’re a novice cigar smoker, then the Hot Cake Golden Line Connecticut from HVC is the one for you. If you’re a seasoned cigar smoker, then the cigar we chose from HVC for this seasoned cigar kit is right up your alley!
The HVC Serie A Perlas are hand-rolled at the TABSA factory while utilizing the finest grade A Nicaraguan tobaccos for the wrapper, binder, and filler! With a medium-bodied profile, the HVC Serie A is one of the best Cuban-style cigars outside of Cuba. When it comes to Cuban-style cigars, you’ll experience flavor notes of hickory, pepper, roasted nuts, and cocoa.
When starting out smoking cigars, most of them may taste the same to you. As you gradually build up the tolerance on your palate, you will be able to pinpoint certain flavor notes with each puff. That’s why we recommend the HVC Serie A to all seasoned smokers so they can fully let the flavor profile and notes sink in during your 65-minute smoke session.
Cohiba Black Robusto
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Dominican Republic
Length: 5.5
Ring: 50
Strength: Full
Smoke Time: 60 Minutes
Another top-notch premium cigar for seasoned cigar smokers to enjoy is the Cohiba Black in the Robusto size. Being a full-bodied Robusto cigar is not meant for the weak.
As the Robusto is considered the ideal size cigar to smoke, the Cohiba Black may be daunting on the palate if you’re not a seasoned cigar smoker. The shorter a full-bodied cigar is, the more of a punch it will be.
When smoking full-bodied cigars, it’s always best to have something sweet to counterbalance the strength of the cigar.
What makes the Cohiba Black a full-bodied cigar? I’d say the rich, dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper mixed with the tobacco from the Dominican Republic in the binder and filler.
Now, if you’re a fan of the tobaccos comprised in the Cohiba Black but are a beginner cigar smoker, then I still recommend trying it to develop your palate, but please, proceed with caution and enjoy this delicious smoke!
Crowned Heads Mother Church
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Corojo
Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf
Filler: Nicaragua
Length: 7
Ring: 48
Strength: Medium-Full
Smoke Time: 90-110 Minutes
One of our favorite cigars here at cigars.com is the Crowned Heads Mother Church. With the name and cigar band paying homage to the famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, the Mother Church is one of many Crowned Heads themed cigars that pay tribute through their branding.
With an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper, the Mother Church from Crowned Heads features Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco in its binder and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua.
Being a 7 x 48 Churchill cigar, the size may be a bit intimidating for beginner cigar smokers. But with its medium to full-bodied strength profile, the Mother Church is a manageable smoke that maintains its smoothness throughout its 90 to 110-minute average smoke time.
AVO Classic No. 2
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Ecuador Connecticut
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Dominican Republic
Length: 6.5
Ring: 50
Strength: Mellow-Medium
Smoke Time: 75-80 Minutes
The last cigar featured in our seasoned cigar kit for beginners is the AVO Classic No. 2. A fun fact about the Avo Classic No. 2 is that this was the first cigar in the brand to be named after the famous Avo Uvezian.
Believing that Cubans became overpriced at one point in time, Uvezian wanted to create a luxurious cigar that was budget-friendly, and boy did he deliver.
With tobaccos from the Dominican Republic in the binder and filler, the Avo Classic No. 2 has an eye-catching, golden Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper.
Showcasing a mellow to medium-bodied strength profile, the Avo Classic is the ideal cigar for any type of smoker. One of the more elegant cigars in the industry, we feel a seasoned cigar smoker would fully appreciate the Avo Classic No. 2 and all the complexity and nuances it had to offer!
