Rachel, The Mouton Cadet is excellent. Not an overpowering cigar, you'll find them mild and consistent throughout and quite remarkable when paired with the matching wine. But, be quick about it if you're buying some. Zino Davidoff has ceased production on this boutique and they're getting rare to find!
I read that they are discontinued but Famous Smoke Shop has them available in numerous sizes. I don't like really big cigars. Which size would you recommend?
I MAY be getting a humidor for Christmas. I say may, because my wife is teasing me about something else I wanted. I am still dropping hints, but it looks like a maybe now. If I don't get one, I will have to save some bucks and buy one for myself.
Godfrey, FSS does still have them. Inventory will last for awhile. Davidoff stopped production this year so there is at least a year's supply under normal conditions, but collectors tend to grab up fading stock. For size, you could look at the Zino #8. It's basically a Robusto size (4 1/2 X 48) I've found that the Robusto size gives me a good 45 minute cigar with a large enough ring size to be able to detect the flavors on the palate while providing a cool smoke. Larger cigars (ring size) allow for more air passage, providing that cooler smoke. Enjoy!
Doug, Jack who hasn't smoked in almost 30 years, just bought a box of cigars. I told him he has to smoke them outside. I don't think it will be a problem but if it becomes one, you owe me!
Ahhh, there are few things sexier than a beautiful woman with a fine cigar. Add a splash of single malt scotch, or a fine dark roast coffee or a good glass of Port and you have a party! Smoking a cigar is definetly a social function, Regina. How social you get probably depends on the company!

So guys, what were your impressions of the Zino Mouton Cadet? I'm Christmas shopping for my husband. And yes, I light one up with him on occasion.
I will order a few to try. I have tried a few that you recommended and liked them so I feel confident I will enjoy this one also. Thanks!!

You make it sound almost romantic! I may have to try one myself!
