good tasting gar. thx Irv

Ok ...... I'm not into flavored cigars And these are flavored but not with liquor; try something from Drew Estates maybe the Natural line. I know people who love their Brooklyn Cigar.

Or maybe the elixer 5-50.
From their web site "created with case and flue tobaccos, adding pistachio sweetness unexplored in the traditional tobacco fermentation process. Vanilla cream, nougat and crushed peanuts tease the palate in preparation for a buttery smooth smoke that follows."

Not sure it really is a cigar sounds more like a meal. Roll Eyes But if your family likes flavored cigars try this.

Just a thought

I agree that the natural drew estate line is the closest to a flavored cigar without crossing the boundries. The root and juicy lucy are the two i would recommend.

The White Rabbit and the Clean Robusto are not that bad at all. The egg is if anything something to get you some odd looks as for the taste well I am suprised to say that it was the first cigar by Drew Estate I didn't really like

The natural line is flavored. It's called Natural, because they use natural flavorings.

Sorry Capt. gotta disagree. It is not flavored, they get thier taste soley thru the blending of tobacco, that is why it is called Natural. But hey.....I could be wrong...it does happen. I am just going by what I was told at RTDA in Nashville by DE.

I like the Drew Estates cigars...no secret. I find the CAO's a little too much for even my tastes.

I have friends in DE also, and you just have to trust me that they are flavored. Just not in the way people think when they think of flavored cigars.

CAO's are great if you require a flavored smoke, Moontrance, Eileens Dream, Honey Dipped, EarthNectar and the new one KarmasutraSplash.
Hey why not take these folks petit coronas without flavors and try moving up them in the world so to speak?
You start 'em slow with some Macanudo Ascots in the natural wrapper, then move 'em up to the Mac Maduro Ascot, then step up to the Onyx Reserve Impulse or Montecristo Memories. You might be able to make serious cigar smokers out of them.

...come in here dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far.....

I've never been a huge fan of flavored cigars but there are a few out there that are good. I tried some Makers Mark Cigars and was very pleased with them. They are infused with bourbon and I really enjoyed them. The bourbon flavored wasn't over powering. But they can be a little high in price but you usually can find a good deal at cigarbid.

The natural line does nothing different than what many companies have done for years. And it is not considered flavoured cigars from those brands. Point being throughout the natural line is the closest to a real cigar for the flavour lovers, and a easy nudge to a mac.

Wolf Brothers makes a machine made cigar called rum crooks that won't quite kill you. They use to be around 40 bucks for 50 cigars.

Veggies are what food eats....where's the beef?

Pinar has a sherry "cured" cigar. Best "flavored" cigar around no question. It doesn't smoke like it's flavored (50% pre-embargo Cuban), the wrapper just smells great.
