Flavoured cigars

[Cigarsmokeruk]

Hi everyone,

I am still looking to buy my first cigars (i have some that were given, bancs and a villiger- anyone have any experience with these) and i like aromatic pipe tobacco so I am hoping to like flavoured cigars (will keep the misses happy) can anyone tell me how they taste? If they're any good? What brand is worth buying? Ect ect

thanks
Chris

Flavoured cigars are alot more flavoured than aromatic tobacco and IMHO I would avoid.

When you say more flavoured do you mean they taste more artificial?

If by "flavoured cigars" you mean things like vanilla cigarillos, etc. then IMO they mostly taste very artificial and are a waste of money. If you mean "full flavoured" cigars, such as Bolivars or Partagas then hopefully some other members of the forum will jump in with help as I personally go for light or medium tasting sticks....

Never appealed to me.

In general I would say that flavoured cigars are a whole world away from the ones you may be used to with pipe tobacco.

I once tried a flavoured cigar from the "Heaven" brand...... It was ok. But not even in the same league as other cigars at less than half the cost.

In all honesty I have forgoten about them as nothing more than a novelty item.

There seem to be a lot to be said for buying single Petite Corona's of different brands to start pinpointing the flavours and strength's that work for you. That's what I'm doing quite a bit of at the moment.

I'm also starting to think that unless your looking to age your sticks or can guarantee a few years of age on them from the seller, that NC's can be the way to go for instant gratification.

There are some decent Petite Corona NC's for what I would say are very reasonable prices.

A couple I would personally reccomend are Oliva Serie G Cameroon Petit Corona - ?3.75 & 1898 Independencia Half Corona - ?3.19.

Drew Estate do 'flavoured' cigars, but you 'll have to do your homework and make a decision as to whether you'd like a latte coffee, choccy wocky, vanilla, lady garden expresso, etc etc. Check them out on the 'net. Like many on here, I'm not a fan and am not endorsing them. Good luck in your quest.

Thanks for the info guys, seems like you either like them or hate them. I think ill do lots of research before i make a purchase. Anyone ever had bancs cigars?

Yes i mean flavoured in the sense of vanilla, cherry, coffee ect. I was under the impression that cigars with cherry ect are flavoured and others are described in terms of how flavourful they are. I guess I was wrong... Back to the books

No no, you were right first time.

Cherry, vanilla etc are flavoured (ie artificial flavours added to the cigar) and when someone describes a "full flavoured" cigar they're basically talking about a strong tasting cigar that hasn't had an artificial flavour added to it.

I would humbly suggest avoiding any artificial flavored cigars. Develop your pallet on regular smokes and go from there.

I think i need to review cigars themselves so i buy the right one. I will be going to Turmeaus in liverpool to buy my first cigars
