    After almost three weeks in the coolerdor, I had my second one of these. A bit stronger than I care for.

    We'll see what a month or more does for them.

    I understand, but it is good to have a perspective. We can judge our taste by what you like if it matches ours.

    So how strong are those, why is it when someone gives me a good cigar I never seem to be able to track it down, a couple of years ago a guy game me a couple of cigars that were great, had not smoked a cigar in years and they were just the right strength with no head buzz. Saved the wrapper and could not find them any where, he said they were not that expensive either.

    I could do that but correct me if I am wrong, the label does not tell you the exact type of cigar it is, just the brand.
    All the label says is Dolce Vita-Republica Dominicana.

    do you remember if it was a connecticut {light} wrapper or a dark (Maduro) wrapper?

    If you like the coffee infused flavor, I'll suggest again...
    Tabak Especial by Drew Estate
    -or-
    Java by Rocky Patel and Drew Estate

    Both are very easy to find.

    It was a dark wrapper and the guy told me it was considered a mild cigar, I really dont know if it was coffee infused but it looks like most of the Dolce Vita cigars are coffee infused.

    Ok maybe you guys can suggest a mild-medium cigar to someone who does not smoke on a regular basis, I dont like too mild of a cigar or too strong (hate the head buzz), I seem to like the dark wrapper but just looking for a good cigar (5.00 or under) that does not kick my ash.
    Edit-I do like one that is well constructed as fighting a hard drawing, wrapper peeling cigar is no fun.
