Am I Alone, or am I the only one on this forum who has NEVER tasted a flavored cigar? I have been enjoying cigars for some time now, but I have never even puffed a flavored cigar.
Personally I think that a cigar that is flavored like something other than tobacco defeats the purpose. (Like flavored coffee :smiley11:) Are there any other experienced cigar smokers here who have NEVER tried a flavored cigar?
Somebody send this guy some flavored cigars. I would but GC2 got the rest of mine. He needs to know what he is missing. :smiley36:
I've had one flavored cigar... an Acid Nasty.... :smiley11:
They dont call it a nasty for nothing...
Haven't smoked a flavoured cigar either. Only been smoking for about a year now, so there's lots of time to try one if I feel like it. From what i've heard and read, there isn't much point.
Like Hex, I have tried Acid's and they are awful. They are most definitely really poor quality cigars that have flavors added to try to cover that fact up.
If you want a flavored cigar chew some gum and smoke a padron. :smiley37:
Otherwise smoke a pipe.
Never smoked a flavored, never will. Can't say they're gross because I haven't experienced, but a similar logic to yours applies, you want to taste the tobacco, that's the point, if I wanted to taste something else, I'd drink something with my cigar or eat something.
i had a box of kaluhua robostos sitting out at my wedding with a box of CAO Eilieens Dream, i knew there werent any big cigar smokers there so this seemed a good choice. they were gone before i got to the reception, after pictures.
My wife likes to smoke CAO Moontrance cigars. I have puffed on these a few times to see what they are like, then finally smoked one for myself....I could see myself smoking one once, maybe twice a year but that's it. I like to get the natural flavors of the tobacco itself.
I've had a few, but they're no where near as good as a good old fashioned one. When I first started smoking I had a peach and a blackberry, which were decent as best. The only flavoreed Cigar I will smoke is a Makers Mark.
A guy at Federal Tobacco in Portsmouth said that If you ever come into possession of dried out old cigars put them in tupperware with a shot of your favorite flavored booze and let it sit for a while. Do it for a couple of shots and there you have it.
Has Anyone tried this?
I thought of this again the otherday when I noticed a vanilla wiskey at the liqour store.
Can't say I have ever puffed on a flavored cigar. And my girlfriend is always smoking them, all the different kinds. She always offers a puff to me too :smiley11: Just smelling it in the room is enough for me...
I agree to a point. I ordered a "Flavored Sampler" once, containing about 12 cigars. I didn't find one I could smoke past one inch. They were nasty. However, I have found since that I like Havanna Honeys, CAO Gold Honey, and Tatiana Classic Honey for a change of pace. These are hand rolled and contain fine tobacco. Everybody's tastes are different.

Thing is, a good cigar (£4+) has all the natural flavour(s) that you could want, so why add any more.
