Once upon a time, cigars were fundamentally associated with masculinity. Thankfully, cigar smoking is no longer a male-dominated ritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For every influential man who\u2019s lit up a fat stogie (Winston Churchill<\/a>, Al Pacino<\/a>, etc.), plenty of famous women are known for their cigar infatuation. Rihanna<\/a>, Whoopi Goldberg, anyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Women have always played a pivotal part in the premium cigar industry. From cultivating and harvesting tobacco in the fields to carefully constructing the wrapper<\/a>, binder<\/a>, and filler<\/a> into a single form, it seems silly for men to hog all the torchlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many women make essential contributions to the industry, and more enjoy the taste<\/a> of a fine cigar. To encourage even more women to indulge in this popular pastime, we wanted to reveal the first-time smokes that have struck a chord with women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As they are for men, mellow cigars are a great starting point for women starting out with cigar smoking, as they allow you to work up to stronger ones as you become more experienced. Just because a cigar isn\u2019t strong doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s bland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The flavor will still be there, so consider the foods and drinks you enjoy and how they float your palate\u2019s boat. If you\u2019ve got a sweet tooth, you\u2019ll be pleased to know familiar flavors found in cigars are chocolate (especially those with Maduro wrappers<\/a>) and vanilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try to tackle something humble on your first attempt. Cigar sizes like Churchills<\/a> or Double Coronas will be too overwhelming for a beginner and need at least 90 minutes of puffing time. Half Coronas, Robustos<\/a>, or Toros<\/a> are your best bet as they still allow you to experience a proper, premium smoke and its flavor development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It goes without saying that no cigars are gender specific. The aroma, flavor profiles, and quality of the smokes that appear in this list can be enjoyed by all newcomers, regardless of gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are five popular beginner cigars for women to give you a great starting point ahead of your first cut<\/a>, light<\/a>, and draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Country of Origin:<\/strong> Nicaragua<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wrapper: <\/strong>Connecticut Shade<\/p>\n\n\n\n Binder: <\/strong>Nicaragua<\/p>\n\n\n\n Filler: <\/strong>Dominican Republic \/Nicaragua \/ Peru<\/p>\n\n\n\n Length: <\/strong>5.50<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ring: <\/strong>44<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strength: <\/strong>Mellow - Medium<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smoke Time<\/strong>: 40-60 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mellow smoke is popular thanks to its creamy profile and subtle black pepper on the nose. It is enriched by a vintage 2008 Connecticut Shade wrapper leaf, grown specifically at Altadis at the \u201cMontecristo Exclusive Farms.\u201d Shining a glorious golden hue and a rich, sweet hay aroma, it houses a hearty three-nation blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian fillers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An extension of the much-heralded Montecristo White Series, the Vintage Series Connecticut No. 3<\/a> is a beautiful breakfast cigar with bountiful notes of caramel, cedar, chestnut, cream, and fermented raisins.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat type of cigars should beginner women cigar smokers try first?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
