Flavored Cigars

I look down on them because you aren't smoking them for the tabbacco flavor you are smoking them for the infused flavor. I smoke cigars for the tabbacco flavor, if I wanted to smoke something flavored I'd suck on a hookha or something...

I actually do enjoy hookah quite a bit, more for the effect than the flavor, but you couldn't pay me to smoke Acids or any of that garbage.
 
Every time I try to convince myself I might derive some pleasure from smoking a flavored cigar I come to regret it. That is about as good an answer as I have for your question
 
To me its analagous to drinking coffee. Coffee beans have this wonderful, dark bitter taste that I love. When you get a double mocha, carmel frapalatte with whipcream from starbucks you are totally masking this. You might as well make a milkshake and crush up some caffeine pills inside it.

And a lot of times the flavors they use to infuse cigars are soooo much more powerful than the subtle flavors in tobacco. For all I could tell there could be zero tobacco in an Acid Kuba Kuba. The taste is so sweet it masks everything else.

But all that being said...too each his own. If you like, smoke 'em. Who cares what anyone else thinks.
 
they make me gag. If I want something sweet I will eat a candybar or drink concentrated soda syrup it will give me same great taste UGH.
 
While not considered a "flavored" by some, I have to say I really enjoy the Drew Estate Java. Just the right amount of sweetness, and of course is complemented by a rich cup of joe. If you haven't yet, I would encourage you to give one a try.
 
I got started smoking Swishers and flavored cigars. Even then they all tasted too sweet. First time I had an R&J I never looked back.

I did order the CAO flavored cigarillos, which I enjoyed with coffee in the mornings. Then I realized I liked a pipe with a slight aromatic blend much better.

I will try one of the CI Legends Coppers (Drew Estates) before I start passing them out to friends, but they look like thay are still too sweet for me.
