I respectfully disagree. Don't start with anything infused (Acid, CAO Flavours, Tatiana, anything else flavored) or you'll just be tasting the oils and flavors they infuse the cigar with, not the cigar itself. You won't get an appreciation to whether cigars are for you if you can't taste the tobacco. You'll get an appreciation for potpourri instead.

Connecticut wrappers, Cameroon wrappers, and Sumatran wrappers tend to have the mildest smokes, and are good to start with. I'd wait on Habano wrappers and Maduro wrappers until you've had several milder cigars before you move up in strength. Also, watch out for Ligero anywhere in the description, they are strong cigars.

Some entry level cigars off the top of my head, mild but with good flavor: Warped Villa Sombra, Camacho Connecticut, Oliva Connecticut, Arturo Fuente 858, Arturo Fuente Chateau, Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champage, Perdomo Double Aged Connecticut, Perdomo 20th Anniversary Connecticut, My Father Connecticut, La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial, Ashton Classic, Ashton Cabinet, Drew Estate Undercrown Shade, San Cristobal Elegancia, Avo Classic, The Griffin's, those are just a few off of the top of my head.

Stay away from mild cigars that are TOO bland, they won't be interesting: Macanudo, (non-Cuban) Romeo y Julieta; look for mild cigars that have some flavor.

Welcome to the hobby.
