it seems to me that, with the few flavored cigars i have tried, it is like they took a cigar that tastes horrible, and then misted the wrapper with some kind of flavoring. i guess that is supposed to make you not notice how bad the cigar is. to me, though, that is sort of like spraying cheap air freshener in the bathroom after you go number 2. then it just winds up smelling like lavender AND shit.
