Cuban Honeys are considered "flavored cigars".
So, I was following that path.

CAO has a flavored line
Moontrance - most popular; exotic fruit, bourbon, & vanilla
Gold Honey - comparable to the Cuban Honeys

Cojimar is another popular line along with Heavenly Cigars. (all fall under flavored cigars)
though, from your post above, you may be looking for something else than flavored.
Sending you an email.

Almost anything in the Arturo Fuente line - natural wrapper - fits that description. High quality consistent cigars - great smokes.

OR, try my fave - Ashton aged Maduro No. 30 - should be right what you're looking for.

It is BP! I've got a couple I could send you - but you'd want to put them in a humidor for a couple/three weeks solid before smoking (travel dries 'em out a bit). Let me know.

Aged for 2 years or more, perfect.
Anything less,

Also, they will be too heavy for a newbie.

Actually, No. Would rather you be enjoying the smoke.

Besides, you would aim for my shoe.
