suggestions for a cigar

[mithril]

well the other day after i was enjoying an El Rey Del Mundo, my wife was discussed (sp?) by the smell/taste. she doesn't mind the smell of pipe tabacco, though. while i don't want to give up the stronger cigars, is there any cigar that has a smell/taste simillar to that of pipe tabacco that i could smoke around my wife? also in the range of $5 or less a stick.

There is a Boutique Cigar maker here in San Antonio with a pretty good reputation called Latin Gold that has a limited line of cigars with pipe tobacco fillers and an Indonesian wrapper. I haven't tried these, but I have had a couple of their other cigars and enjoyed them, they were good quality, smoked well, and had very good flavor. I would think they would be better quality than Black and Milds at least.

Hmmmmm, the AF Flora Fina would seem to have that flowerly smell(hence the name) Then again, I hear swishers has a sweet, chocolate cigar. Sorry-have to build off of the joke(howevery pathetically on my part) by the previous poster.

Try a Kahlua cigar made by Drew Estates.

If you must smoke cigars like that.

Than at least go with the CAO flavored cigars. Some of them have a nice smell to them.

on the subject of pipe tabacco cigars, has anyone tried the ones from Durangocigars.com ? i just did a google search and they came up.

I used to smoke JOHN T. CROWDPLEASERS it came in 4 different flavors of pipe filler.

Went to that shop in Rivercenter Mall (bizarre, right outside the gates of the Alamo...). Bought two of their regular maduros to try because they looked nice. I had one of the cigars (not at all bad), and put one away in the humi "for next time".

They also have a line of "flavored" cigars, although I don't know if they're any good. Seems to me they might be of they're anything like their regular line...

CAO flavored cigars have a nice smell to them, and a nice cigar flavor (for a flavored cigar)... They taste very much like a regular cigar to me - a bit on the mild side, but definitely smokeable. Not my favorite, but hey - if they wife like 'em, smoke 'em... Good call, Alex.

I personally like the smell of the Moontrance and Eileen's Dream.

Try..... Drew Estate... Natural, Root

I got one of these at CigarFest '05. Smelled like Pipe tobacco. I didn't think I was gonna like it but turned out to be not so bad. Even my wife said it didn't smell too bad.

George, I tried one of those CAO Flavours, smelled good before the light but after the light........ yuck !!!!

Guess I'm becoming a little bit of a cigar snob..........
