It’s no secret that women love cigars – just check the newsstands and you’ll find plenty of magazine covers of cigar-smoking female celebrities like Claudia Schiffer, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg and Madonna.

Cigar manufacturers have recognized this and offer a wide and growing selection of fine smokes with the medium draw and rich assortment of flavors that women smokers prefer. This list of ten cigars for women offers both a good introduction for the novice and some fine choices for the experienced cigar lover.

10. San Cristobal Selección Del Sol Toro

Before lighting, the Toro from San Cristobal Selección Del Sol has an aroma of cream and Jasmine. Easy to light and firm to draw, this mild smoke has flavors of cocoa and honey.

9. Fuente Magnum R 44

The Fuente Magnum R 44 has a 44 ring guage that many women prefer. The Magnum R is on the milder side in strength but has a strong flavor that may remind you of wood and nuts with an earthy hint.

8. Davidoff Winston Churchill Lancaster

If you’re looking to move up in size and strength from small, mild cigars, the Winston Churchill Lancaster made by Davidoff is an excellent choice. The flavors are grassy, woody and earthy with a taste of spice near the finish.

7. Avo LE10

LE stands for Limited Edition but the LE10 could be a popular member of the Avo cigar family for women cigar lovers. It’s an extremely easy draw, very mild and very sweet. It becomes more full-bodied towards the end and tastes of coffee and wood.

6. Reinado Torpedo

Reinado Cigars are known for a secret fermentation technique, and the result in the Torpedo is a wonderful wide variety of flavors through the smoke. This medium bodied cigar begins with a cherry fruit and leather aroma, then loses it sweetness and gains a peppery taste in the latter half. An excellent choice if you prefer a smooth sweet smoke.

5. Godiva Chocolate

When you need chocolate and your favorite smoke just doesn’t provide enough, go for the ultimate and open a pack of Godiva Milk Chocolate cigars. Rich and chocolaty with a hint of milk, they’re the choice of women who love chocolate, cigars and chocolate cigars.

3. Arturo Fuente Special Selection Curly head

The “curly head” name of this Arturo Fuente Special Selection cigar comes from the pigtailish end, a cute finish to a mild and gentle cigar. Its peppery flavor and diminutive size make it a good selection for women who want a smaller cigar.
