- Join Mazz in the cigar lounge as he discusses his favorite blends with a mellow profile. If you love mild and nuanced blends, this video is for you!
Today, Mazz meticulously walks you through each cigar's attributes, beginning with the elegant Ashton Classic and its subtle buttery notes. Next is the distinctive La Aroma De Cuba Connecticut, followed by the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva, a popular choice when seeking a mellow cigar with a ton character.
We then explore the boundary-pushing San Cristobal Elegancia with its unique white pepper note- a rarity in mellow cigars. Lastly, we delve into the classic Dominican Montecristo, the mildest among our selections, offering toasty notes and exemplary construction.
Remember, having a mild to mellow collection in your humidor is as crucial as maintaining a diverse wine cellar or spice cabinet. Different occasions will always call for different flavors.

I really like that you included a darker-wrapped cigar. It serves as a reminder that a darker cigar doesn't always equal a stronger cigar.
💯
no stronger but for shure havier tasting in my opinion
It’s all how it’s blended.
I've been fooled on that one before
The Ashton Classic at the beginning with a cup a coffee is always nice for me in the Texas spring time, or on the golf course.
agreed!
You know what it is Robbie.
The Oliva Connecticut, Undercrown Shade and Perdomo Champagne are a few I always have in my humidor.
both the undercrowns are probably my favorite go-to's for sure. i love Montecristo whites buuuut undercrowns are cheaper
Haven’t had the Montecristo white, but I’ll have to give it a try
The Oliva Connecticut is my absolute favorite Connie. Absolutely gorgeous cigar.
Undercrown shade is my fav conneticut at the moment
Perdomo Champagne is quickly becoming one of my favorite starter cigars. Never disappoints!
I love mellow cigars… 80% of the time I’m smoking a shade cigar. I’ve been smoking for a while and I came to the conclusion that I truly enjoy a lighter smoke. This is a wonderful list 👍
Sobremesa brulee
Macanudo vintage 2010
Southern Draw Rose of Sharon
Perdomo Champagne
All very good choices as well!
You took all of my answers! Lol
Yes! The Sobremesa Brulee is a fantastic cigar.
Perdomo champagne was my 1st gar and I love it will note those down tho🤌🏼👍🏼
The Arturo Fuente 858 Natural and the San Cristobal Elegancia are my personal favorites!
Anthony’s reviews are why I only purchase my online cigar’s from Holt’s! Keep up the great work!
👊🏽

My first cigar was a Montecristo 👌🏼 All your picks are spot on. You can’t go wrong with any of them.
Montecristo White Series is the one i always have
Should make a box with these 5 cigars in it
Excellent intro. Definitely a time and place for all kinds of blends.
I love them all and have bought many cigars from mild to full strength and I truly enjoy switching it up on a regular basis. My go-to mild is the Monte Cristo for obvious reasons especially in the morning with a cup of coffee. Excellent selection Mazz.
Perdomo 10 anniversary is my go-to mild stick. great for first timers
Great list, for me, it is the Macanduo Cafe. Great mellow smoke, good draw, all around solid in my opinion.
Agreed!
White label rocky patel and the my father Connecticut series. The best mild-mellow cigars
You can't go wrong with the mellow blends you've selected. Thx for the vid. I've recently been enjoying the Henry Clay War Hawk in the morning.
The Hoyo de Monterey Excalibur is a great addition to the list
Hi Anthony
As usual another masterful presentation.
I have been an Ashton man for 30 years.
Always going with the Ashton Classic Churchill.
Only recently have I tried the double magnum and the Cabinet No. 8.
Staying in the Ashton family.
Again, I appreciate your videos and shorts.
Best regards,
Stuart
Mellow cigars are still my go to. Ive been smoking for over 30 years and I still think mild to medium are the most enjoyable smokes. The whole pepper bombs and full bodied monster craze really hit the scene in popularity about 15 years ago I never truly got it. I mean if you love to smoke with a whiskey or bourbon then yes, a full bodied smoke makes sense because that alcohol will over power your palette and a mild to even medium bodied stick will get lost and you aren’t tasting tobacco, you are tasting the booze. But Ive never been a big drinker. Water, tea, soda is what I drink while smoking.
Cigars were never meant to kick your ass so to speak. It’s about flavor and relaxation for me. Your picks on your list have been some of my go to’s for years. Consistency for decades.
Anything Fuente makes either for Ashton, JC Newman or their own line are definitely the kings of mild to medium smokes.
Diamond Crown Julius Caesar is one my favorites or the regular Diamond Crown.
The Camacho Connecticut is also one my go to’s for a more affordable everyday smoke.
The world I move within, no matter what it is, has variety. I love trying different foods, drinks and cigars...
And that Ashton you started with is awesome....
Thanks Anthony...
CONNECTICUT WRAPPERS!! Love ct broadleaf. I am a 4th gen farmer of tobacco and that’s what we grow. Thanks for supporting us
Mild cigars are my favorite!!
My all time favorite mild cigar is Marsh Wheeling!
I love the casdagli cabinet selection Rosetta. Also the Ashton cabinet and maduro
Mazz, a mellow cigar that really surprised me was the Gilberto Olivia Connecticut. Smooth smoke with mild spice, but nice overall flavor. BTW, have you done a segment on the best cigars to pair with coffee? I really appreciate your videos. Your presentations are informative, motivating and entertaining. I've expanded my cigar considerations due to your videos. Keep up the good work!
My first cigar was a Partagas (habano). NOT a mellow cigar by any means but I loved it. Now that I'm older, I've been exploring milder cigars. The Ashton Heritage is a good example. Good flavor, pleasant aroma, great relax smoke. I'll continue my exploration of these milder cigars. Thanks Anthony!
Perdomo Champagne (Churchill size) - The way the flavor changes and develops over the length of the Churchill is amazing. My favorite mellow to medium cigar hands down!
Mayflower Dawn has become one of my favorite mild cigars!
Mine too!!! I only have 1 left. lol I pre ordered my next batch!
I have 3 left, trying to save them for special occasions since they’re difficult to get right now lol!
I like it too. Hasn't passed up the Elegancia for me though.
Mine are on the way. Can’t wait to try them
Was in the mood today in fact...sun was out, chose Oliva Conn and paired with mellow Glenlivet 12. Love 858 sg but closer to medium to me.
Hey Anthony i will love that you guys make a 5 pack deal on the website with this 5 cigars.
Good idea
Great suggestions Mazz! I just had the AF 858 Maduro a couple days ago and fell in love with that stick! I can’t wait to try the natural. I’m a cigar rookie but I’ve been very impressed with anything I get from Arturo Fuente. The Hemingway is probably my favorite stick so far. Can’t wait to try the Work of Art that I bought from you guys. Keep dropping the 🔥🔥🔥🔥content
Great as always. My new favorite mils is LA Conquista connecticut wrapper. Real mild with hints of vanilla.
You can never find the perfect Cigar. And even then you’re gonna wanna find something that fits your mood that day. It’s like food.
Fantastic list. Huge fan of all, but especially the Ashton classic. I do miss Thomas Hinds
Just bought the 93-95 5 pack of the the La Aroma De Cubas today. Funny this video popped up. Was telling my dealer here in Amarillo Texas, that I aim towards Maduro before mild or medium cigars but that I would be interested in trying something new. He said I wouldn't be disappointed in La Aroma De Cuba. I'm about to fire one up now.
Nice! What did you think?
This is the man I perfected my cigar palette from going into Holys n talking with him has been the best experience in my life!! N I smoke most of these cigars!!
I love Maduros but like you said sometimes I just need to take a break. Gotta have variety. Thanks Anthony!
Nice video!!! I liked when you compare de sistem cigars with wine. Fantastic!!! Regrads from Portugal!!!
Incredible video. Amazing production value and editing as well as awesome knowledge. Keep it up !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoy the La Aroma De Cuba Connecticut. I also quite frequently enjoy a Tatuaje Cabaiguan Guapos. Also the Southern Draw Rose of Sharon is very high atop this list for me.
Since I've gotten more into cigars, I enjoy having multiple types, flavors, wrappers in my humidors. Depending on my day, I want a lighter cigar some I want that punch. I have learned so much about cigars watching this channel, I love the variety that I (full disclosure, my wife ordereds all my cigars) have in my humidors.
Thanks for sharing!
Good Morning 😊 Great chat and advice 👍🏼 Mild cigars are good 😋 Thanks for sharing 👏🏼 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
Love the Ashton classic 8-9-8 or Prime Minister.. For mild I'll either pull that or a Sobremesa Brûlée Blue out of my humidor.
My go to mellow is the AJ new world ct-perfect with coffee every morning. Same wirh the my father ct. cool review too, thx!!
Over my 30 years with cigar smoking I have always preferred a more mellow cigar. Sometimes I want a medium to full body cigar with a lot of peppery spice, but usually I have preferred mellow
You've found your wheelhouse!
La Aroma de Cuba and the San Cristobal are great. Looking to try a Montecristo one day.
You said it.. love them both!! And same again I haven't had a montecristo either but that's the cigar I've wanted to try since was a kid and i thought cigars were kewl
@@nathanhawee5373I am a casual cigar smoker, maybe 3 a week, so prefer to go quality over quantity, as far as cost. I mostly smoke Montecristo #2 and My Father Las Antilles in Toronto, both of which I highly recommend.
The brick house Churchill or the la palina Connecticut comes to mind of mellow cigars I really enjoy. I need to grab the my father Connecticut but can’t find in the corona size.
Excellent video as always. I like the Davidoff Signature No. 2, which also was my first cigar (following Eddie Sahakian).
Lower cost mellow cigars in my buddy box are always Baccarat. I like Sobramesa Brulee followed with a Melania V Figurado. I like to ramp up cigar strength. Undercrown shade flying pig stood out for me recently.
I usually enjoy the Perdomo Lot 23 for its Connecticut wrapper and mellow character
the one i would add to this list is the Oliva Connecticut, definitely a standard in my humidor!
Always been an infrequent smoker (1-3 a week during the summer only) and got the Elegencia in a sampler this yr. Looked at it and immediately thought it was gimmicky due to the parrot on the label. Boy was I wrong. What a great cigar. Mellow, flavorful, excellent construction and burn.
I like the Ashton Classic, the Argyle White Glove, and the Macanudo Cafe so far. Great smokes and definitely mellow cigars.
Great content, made me rethink my approach and collection of cigars.
The Ashton Classic is one I tried on Mazz's recommendation (in another video) and man what a good cigar. Easily my favorite right now and one I think I'll always have in my humidor. The San Cristobal Elegancia is also a very good mild cigar (a little more spicy than the Ashton). I will definitely smoke my way through the rest of these. Das on St. Maartin has some good mild and mild to medium cigars that I really like. Just wish he had a storefront online.
That San Cristobal elegancia is phenomenal. Makes me enjoy that white pepper, staring to adjust to Ashton. Didn't like them at first.
An dont forget the Bella Cuba...
I just got a box of the la aroma de cuba and its taken over from the oliva as my favorite
Great list as always! I also enjoy the RyJ 1875. Mazz, when are you gonna play that guitar in the background while having a good smoke?!
We gotta teach him how first 😂
outstanding brother. I always bought myself a cigar after having a thousand dollar day at work. I,m a commercial flooring installer and it takes alot of carpet tile or marmolieum to make a thousand in a day. S I love a mello cigar.
What better way to celebrate? Glad you enjoyed the video!
The Southern Draw Desert Rose is a phenomenal mild cigar. Velvety smooth wrapper & flavorful but still mellow. Would love to see a review!
So far Montecristo white label is my favorite still have lots to try.
This is awesome not to my wife's liking but ...cigar is a smooth reflection of life as you age...with a nice drink nice weather it makes the moment magical...@cigarLife I need to start a new Canadian
Flor de copan churchill is my top pick for a creamy mellow cigar :)
I frequently have a mild cigar mid day at my local lounge. All depends on how I feel and it tends to go in cycles. Good vid!
I know it's like the most common cigar out there, but the Macanudo cigars always surprise me with how good they actually are. Usually I avoid Macanudo, but I got a killer deal on some Hyde Parks recently and I have been smoking them, they are just really good mild cigars.
Just got myself this sampler, can’t wait to try them all.. thanks for the recommendations! 👊🏼
Hope you enjoy!
La Aroma de Cuba is my top pick..
I look forward to trying all of these. Good video!
the brick house with a natural wrapper is a excellent smoke. it is a little hard to find most places sell the connecticut wrapper which is o.k. the natural wrapper is a little stronger.
Great review and knowledge Anthony! Thank you!
My favorite mellow cigar is the Oliva Melanio 2023 figurino.
My favorite mellow cigar is the Paul Garmirian Gourmet Series II.
Yep subscribed thank you sir
Dunbarton has taken over the mild cigar game. The Brulee and Brulee Blue are top mild sticks.
I'm a mild/mellow - to - medium guy, so these are in my range.
These takes are knowledgeable and well presented.
The rocky patel white label is an amazing Connecticut cigar..around $20 but well worth it
Great selection. I recently enjoyed a Brick House Connecticut worth mentioning 👍🏾.
Had my first cigar Friday. Have been binge watching your videos since. Just found out you're out of Philly?? I'll have to stop by! Only 30 minutes outside of philly
Would love to have you in 👊
Diamond Crown are elegant approachable cigars.
I appreciate this information, especially as I'm just getting into the cigar world!
My go to's are Oliva Connecticut Reserve, Perla del Mar Shade. And Macanudo Ecuador Connecticut.
Ashton in my top five
🙌
Drew Estate Undercrown Shade. I love the whole Undercrown lineup.
I had Perdomo 10th anniversary maduro wrapper and took me two days to recover😂😂😂😂😂😂!!Definately got to stick with milder cigars at least for now….
oh no 😂 try eating beforehand with your next cigar and have something sugary on hand like a soda to drink if it starts to get away from you
@@holtscigarswould switching to milder cigars help as well????
Absolutely, never hurts to get your feet wet before jumping into the deep end if you’re new to cigars
The mellow cigar I have been really enjoying lately is Joya de Nicaragua Classico, it’s the original cigar from Nicaragua. What say you?
Dig it 👊🏽
Great list. I personally love the Oliva Connecticut Reserve in the mellow world.
That's a great blend! Could've easily made this list.
I am currently enjoying Gran Reserva as my favorite. It balances great for me. A suggestion where to move next would be appreciated.
Really depends but you may enjoy Ashton or Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real
"That's like having beef for every meal" made me laugh because I actually eat beef for every meal 😆proud carnivore
Monte Cristo No.3
Holy cow are you impeccably dressed. Great video thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
I do like all of these. For some reason, Montecristo original has never been consistent lately, at least for me. I think I like the White Series better than the original ones. My own favorite mellow cigar is Don Depin Garcia Vegas Cubans.
By the way, are you all doing any events? I would like to pay a visit to your launch but I’m in DC, so I would like to catch one of these events which you all doing.
We will definitely have more events this year, we'll keep subscribers posted when they're approaching!
Another great one in the book
I really enjoy rose of Sharon Johnny tabacconist, Asylum medullas onblogata natural and oliva Connecticut this are my mellow crew 🤙🏼
With Mazz's intimate knowledge he would make a great James Bond. I'll bet he keeps a PPK under that jacket...
🤫😉
Fantastic awesome thank you !
Atabey should definitely be on this list
This is a great video. I’ve been smoking for about a year and a half? I’m growing my palate but I love keeping mild cigars on hand. If I smoke something strong or smoke a lot? It’s a nice break.
Exactly, always great to switch up the gears 🙌
I would have to add the Rocky Patel White Label, Southern Draw Rose of Sharon and Perdomo 10th anniversary champagne.
Macanudo Cafe and Oliva Connecticut are my favorite mellow cigars!!
Great picks 🙌
