Newbie - Sweet/Creamy Cigars?

clanderson

Hey there!

I've been a lurker here for a while now. I'm a new cigar smoker (quit smoking a couple years ago) and this forum has been a great help!
I was wondering though, if I could get some recommendations for cigars.

I like sweet smokes (sweetened cap and/or naturally sweet/creamy tobacco). The scent of Captain Black tobacco is about my idea of a perfect (sweet type of) smoke!

Are you an infsed fan? stuff like acid or java?

Welcome to the forum clanderson. Have you tried other cigars and prefer the sweeter flavors? Most of the connecticut wrapped cigars have a creamy, kinda sweet flavor. Vegas Gold, Griffin, stuff like that maybe.

Welcome. Best creamy sweeter smoke I have tried is the Nat sherman host selection. Natural type cigar that is not infused.

Chemnitz

Welcome clanderson! I agree with the other recommendations here. You could also try the A. Fuente Hemingway Short Story. Has a Cameroon wrapper that is naturally sweet.

I agree with this. Otherwise the only sweetened tip cigars that I know of are not that great. Nat sherman host selection is mildly sweetened, but fundamentally, it's a great connecticut wrapped cigar. That's what counts. I suppose you could mix up a simple syrup with sugar and water and brush it on any good connecticut wrapped cigar as a DIY project.

Wow, thanks fellas! I'll definitely be giving all of those a try!

As for infused, I haven't tried them yet heh. I actually just ordered Acid Kuba Kuba(Sumatra?) and Acid (Kuba Kuba?) Blondie (though I got a bit confused when looking at all of the names... Different sites seemed to call the same cigars by different names)

i agree with this. its not sweet like sugar but there is a sweetness to it that other cigars lack.

another one i like for a good subtle sweet (at least in the initial two thirds) is the Room 101 San Andres

TBH you may be a fan of maduro cigars. Because the leaf is darker, many newbs -- myself included, stray away from them under the false impression they are stronger.

Maduro is simply a longer fermentation process (many great articles here in the archives on this) and it gives the leaf a sweeter flavor because of the extra sugars in the fermented leaves.

That said, Acid's are certainly sweet, but for something with a more natural sweetness you may want to try an Undercrown or Perdomo Lot 23 maduro. If you want to stay with light and creamy, the RyJ Reserva Real toro tastes like cashews and whipped cream IMO.

Long ashes to you!

I find he AF sun grown stuff has a sweet flavor to them. For thick, creamy smoke I really like Aging Room F55 Quattro's. You would probably really enjoy a Caldwell Yellow Cake, they are a sweet, complex taste that is rather unique. Wish I had a box of them.

I just had a My Father Flor de las Antillas Toro and a Fuente Don Carlos Robusto.

The Don Carlos was way too strong/harsh/bitter for me - I wasn't able to enjoy it much at all.

The Antillas however was very rich and smooth, I really liked it a lot! Smoother than the Kuba Kuba/Blondie I had a few days ago...

Any recommendations based on that? I'm still in search of a sweet/creamy smoke, but that Antillas was wonderful!

Check out My Father and Ave Maria. They're similar in flavor profile to the Flor de las Antillas. Also, I find the Perdomo Lot 23 churchills to be quite creamy in all 3 wrapper varities.

Thanks again for the replies folks! You've all been such a huge help!!

I'm now debating between getting natural or maduro wrappers on a Padron 64 and a Rocky Patel 1990.

Anybody have an explanation of flavor differences between the natural/maduro wrappers on these two?

Maduro for the Padron and skip the Patel.

Buy the maduro 64 and the RP. Try the Rocky for yourself and form an opinion.

If you hate the 1990, you'll have a great smoke for tomorrow in the 64. Long ashes sir!

"what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
