Can anyone recommend a cigar with a pipe tobacco filler? I've been looking for some time, and have only been able to find one brand (durango).

Middleton's makes a popular machine made cigar with pipe tobacco. Are you a pipe smoker?

I do not currently smoke pipe tobacco on a regular basis, but I do enjoy it occasionally. My wife and I are expecting another child at the end of January, and I was looking for something a little more unique for passing around to celebrate the occassion.

Thanks Extensioncord, I wasn't aware of thsoe cigars. Mraub, I think this is a much more appropriate cigar for passing out than what I suggested. Congratulations on the upcoming birth, and thanks for the question.

Hey MrAub...also stop by City Tobacco in Edwardsville -- you're right around the corner. Ask for Phil Dente...he may have some suggestions as well. He smokes both pipes and cigars so he may have come across something I don't know about.

The problem with pipe tobacco cigars is that they are machine made and use a homogenized tobaccco wrapper; basically tobacco pulp, cellulose and other stuff to make a uniform sheet of wrapper. The "pipe" tobacco filler is also of dubious quality, frequently heavily cased with syrups and flavorings.

They don't taste as good as quality pipe tobacco and they aren't really worthy of being called a cigar.

My suggestion would be to get some inexpensive handmades for an event as important as the birth of a child and get some good quailty pipe tobacco to enjoy by yourself.

That's certainly the case with the Middleston's, but the one from Tinderbox looks like a premium, maybe a mixed fill inside (some long filler, some short fill pipe tobacco), a binder and a wrapper. But I could be wrong.

I suppose a hand-made flavored cigar could smoke somewhat like pipe tobacco, if you chose the right flavor.

Of course, I just don't like flavored cigars of any sort, so whether it's pipe tobacco or something else it's not for me.

What about the CAO Moontrance. I'm not sure if they are actual pipe tobacco, but definately smell like it.

wilshire's are a premium smoke. great taste. def. something for the novice smoker. but nonetheless, very mild and suitable for all. been pickin these up at tinderbox for a yr or so now.
