Good flavored cigar

I had a vanilla cigar in DC a number of years ago from the Georgetown Tobacco shop. It was the best balance of flavor that i've run across, but I don't remember what it was called.:9898:

Traditionally I have not liked infused cigars. BUT...... I have been trying the CAO infused and actually like them every once in a while. Another is the Tabac by Drew Estate.

Cano A. Ozenger. He started as a pipe maker. I think the family is Syrian. They are headquartered out of Nashville. For the most part, their cigars are very good.

Not a huge fan of flavored cigars personally, But I have had a few of the Acid line by Drew Estates. I liked the Kuba Kuba and Wafe (nice quick smoke) the best. Keep in mind if you have a humidor to not put them in with your normal cigars. I had an acrylic container with a circle of cedar in it to keep them in.

Cano is from Istanbul

I like the Backwoods Sweet Aromatic.

To all Cigar Smokers concerned:
I’ll be the first to admit that at one time many, many years ago, I was intrigued about ‘flavoring’ my Cubans. I researched all that was there to know about the process / techniques (on the internet), and tried my hand at a home remedy in flavoring my own Cubans.

I tried first by placing a shot glass of Hine Cognac in my Humidor (and drying them out over many months in my Humidor), without much success and then tried ‘misting’ my cigars with cognac and again drying them out over many months in my Humidor (and/or until I thought they were aged/dried enough to smoke), again without much success. The result being that I ruined my fine Cubans just the same, not only leaving a musty aroma in my Humidor ta-boot (I even read that Churhill used to 'dip' his cigars in brandy/cognac...but that only led to to a very 'soggy' cigar).

At the end of the day, I found that if the leaves were ‘misted’ and dried before rolling, the taste would be improved, but you will never find any Havana’s that are flavored; I’ll just stay with the way cigars were meant and should be enjoyed…namely unflavored & un-dipped.

Together they have a cigar that is by far one of my favorites "Java Maduro"
Tastes and smells like a Kit Kat.

They also have a "Java Latte" which is a little lighter smoke and coffee flavored.

Definitely worth a try.

There are none.

well there is only one great vanilla cigar I know of that is made by the company CAO....other than that there are the vanilla backwoods.....

Not sure if this is considered "flavored", but Jucy Lucy by Drew Estates was one of my favorites and my gateway cigar to pipes!

I have recently smoked some amazingly good flavored cigars by CAO (Moontrance and Gold Honey) and pretty much anything by Drew Estates (Tabak Especial, Natural, Java and Acid) will treat you right if you like the flavored cigars.

diamond crown, no artificial flavourings as far as i know, but tasty morsals

I'm not even sure they're still made, but if you can find them, try the Mersuli (or maybe it's Mursuli). They are long filler cigars that have the leaf 'misted' with high grade (candy maker quality) flavor extracts just before rolling. We had a roller from them in my local several years back, and it was fascinating to watch him roll them up. I tried one, and was surprised that it was good. They use good quality tobacco and flavorings. I'm not a flavored smoker, but they were good.

The CAO flavors line sells pretty well there, too, but I've never tried one.
