The Macanudo Café Hyde Park is one of my all time favorite mild smokes. It was one of the first cigars I ever smoked, and is still one of my mainstays. I highly recommend it to beginners for being eased into cigar smoking with a well constructed cigar that burns perfectly, tastes good and isn't too strong for the uninitiated.

I usually like medium to full bodied cigars, but the Macanudo comes in handy either for an early moning smoke if I haven't had anything to eat, or before dinner with martini or even a glass of Pinot Grigio.
