Am I Alone?
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) 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.

I've had one flavored cigar... an Acid Nasty....

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.
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.

Destroyer of Safiness
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.
There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

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.

make your own
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

Flavored Cigars
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.

You wouldn't actually soak the cigars in the liquid. Use the shot of booze as humidifier for your humi. In other words, you would soak a piece of cloth or whatever else you may wish to use and place it in with your cigars.

Exactly
Insert name here
I've had a couple of rum and port soaked cigars in the long distant past, I think that they soak the tobacco before rolling the cigar. Seem to remember that they were quite pleasant then.
Thing is, a good cigar (£4+) has all the natural flavour(s) that you could want, so why add any more.
