Cigars/mild cigars

Question
I am new to the business and have a customer looking for a milder cigar. He seems interested in the Romeo Y Julieta brand but I would like to offer more suggestions for him. Can you suggest some specific mild cigars for me?
Rhonda,
If your customer wants Romeo Y Julieta, recommend the Reserva Real version of that brand. It is the mildest Romeo Y Julieta and is a great cigar.
You might also recommend some of the following mild or mild to medium bodied, good quality handmade brands:
Ashton Classic
Macanudo Cafe
CAO Gold
Avo Classic
Montecristo Classic
Hope this helps.
Bill

Expertise
I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.
Experience
In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
