Fat Bottom Betty

Skeeter08

I really enjoyed this smoke. However, it was a little too sweet at the beginning. Does anyone have a similar cigar I could try that might not be a sweet.  Thanks!

This is not an infused cigar according to my research

Sounds like "just the tip" game to me.

Edit:  I must be getting old... this makes about the 100th long, snarky post I've deleted.  What's wrong with me?  What happened to me?  Is it aliens?

Hey @Skeeter08. We are just trying to make each other laugh. (Not at you.) You may never get the answer you seek. Roll with it, or get b*u*t*t*hurt, your call.

I doesn’t bother me. I am just trying to find a similar cigar without so much sweetness. A little is ok.  Anyhow, thanks!

It does have a sweetened tip.  Hard to say what unsweetened cigar would be similar, not having tried this one.  What did you like about it? What flavors did you pick up?

You could try a cigar with a Cameroon wrapper that adds a natural sweetness to the smoke.  A Mexican San Andres wrapper usually adds chocolate / cocoa notes.

Picked up nutty chocolate and a tiny amount of spice.

My post was serious, they make sweet tipped cigars.  Hence "just the tip".

I would suggest you try some of these;

It was nice of you Peter to narrow it down. Good luck Skeeter.

Lol. Go grab a CAO Mx2 and see what you think of it. Them sound like Maduro flavors.

Damn, I thought the tread was about chicks on bikes

Listen, it's a fool's errand to think anyone can offer good advice to these questions of "I love X cigar.  What else is like it?"  There's too much variation in our palates, and way more variation is how we interpret and verbalize what our palates experience with cigars.  Add to all that, all the other variable that throws off the way we taste our cigars, from food to mood to whatever.  Then there's the variableness in the tobacco leaves themselves.  How many times have you smoked a cigar and loved it, then the next one out of the box was not so lovely.  

So ol' Skeeter tastes nutty chocolate and a tiny amount of spice...  you could smoke that cigar from the same box and you might pick up cedar and cream.  Honestly, we could have 50 well-meaning members say 'Try these cigars. I get nutty chocolate and a tiny amount of spice" and the odds are that Skeeter could try all 50 and get nutty chocolate and a tiny amount of spice out of 10 of them, and half of those would be due to the power of suggestion.

I have to copy/paste this into Word because it'll come up again before too long.

Agreed with the Baron above and Warden @peter4jc, but it does sound like maduro flavors.  The Mexican San Andres wrapper is one of my favorites and is almost always used as a maduro wrapper because it's thick and spicy enough to hold up to this.

Might try the Fuente Hemingway short story or the Work of Art, Cameroon wrapper

I have absolutely no idea what a Fat Bottom Betty is, but this is a good suggestion, regardless.

Agree...I have enjoyed every one of the Arturo Fuente Hemingway selections that I have had.  Have not gotten to try the Work of Art yet though...
