Top Rated Mellow Cigars For 2022
One of the biggest misconceptions in premium cigars is that mellow bodied cigars lack flavor and complexity. That couldn’t be anything further from the truth. Now, a Macanudo Cafe or a Rocky Patel Vintage may be a fantastic introductory cigar for a new smoker, but they’re also ideal for any seasoned cigar aficionado. They’re great smokes to enjoy morning, noon or night, and they pair brilliantly with a myriad of beverages.
So, today we’re going to celebrate the wonders of mellow bodied cigars with the top rated mellow cigars for 2022.

Gran Reserva from Arturo Fuente is a mellow cigar that boasts a beautiful construction and enticingly smooth draw.

(24 months ago)My favorites are the Monte Cristina Original, Macundo Cafe and Cao Gold. These are enjoyable everyday smokes to have in the humidor on the days you just need to get a smoke in to make the week more enjoyable. The weekends are for the medium and bold sticks with some good whiskey.
