Hi there,
I'm looking for recommendations on a naturally sweet cigar (not infused).
Something that has a natural sweetness to the tobacco.
Sometimes I think these cigars are described as "creamy" too.
I'm looking for a premium cigar, but please try to keep it under $8.00.
Thanks -Aaron

Welcome to the forum. I'm not a sweet fan so I can't help ya. Explore the site and have fun. Remember, search is a friend.

Are you talking about a really sweet natural product or just a tobacco flavor with a hint of sweetness?
I have not had a non-infused cigar that was really sweet.
If sweet is your goal I would point you back toward infused, although you will despise that answer I am sure.

I'm talking about a tobacco flavor with a hint of sweetness.
In the cigar magazines, you read reviews about cigars that have a sweet taste, or a hint of sweetness. Creamy, etc.
I would like to see what people on here are smoking, and if they taste this "sweetness".
I did search "sweet" and it gave way too many results.
Thanks -Aaron

I just looked through some of my notes (When I used to take notes), and I had found some sweetness in a Carlos Torano Signature.

My notes where:
"Sweet and mild. Good Burn, tight draw. Very impressed! Real nice flavors and aftertaste."

And here is a picture I found:

Hemingway Maduros always taste like chocolate bars when I smoke em. :dr love those sticks. Kristoff Maduros always come across as pretty similar for more of a budget smoke

I don't find all "creamy" smokes sweet. I wouldn't consider and EPC Core Line sweet despite it being a cream bomb

Back in the day I found some of the milder AVOs to have a sweet quality.

The old blend of La Aroma de Cuba (only the vitola that came in a tubos) was creamy, but I haven't had one for years so I can't speak to that.

Some (I repeat, some) Opus X had a black cherry and anise tone that I found sweet, but they likely don't meet your rpice criteria anyway.

The most noticeably sweet cigars in my opinion are the Artuo Fuente Don Carlos line (the red and black band). More so than any cigar, the sweetness of these really comes through.

They are also in your price range, available at just about every tobacco shop, and one of my favorite cigars!

The Fuente Chateau series is another line I'd say are "creamy" as cigars get, but much more savory than sweet.

I think the advanced search feature would really help you narrow down the threads. When you said sweet, I immediately thought of honey, which I sometimes find in cigars. I searched for honey in the reviews forum and found the following:

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/search.php?searchid=4989402

Some may refer to the color as honey causing some extra reading, but most refer to the taste. One that popped out that I agreed with was Arturo Fuente Hemingway series. For that matter, I find most cigars with a Cameroon wrapper somewhat on the sweet side.

Try the advanced search with sweet, sweetness or other similar words. Good luck.

The only cigar I've tried that I could consider sweet is the Brickhouse Toro.

I later tried a robusto and it didn't have the same flavor.

Baccarat cigars have a nice light natural sweetness to them, especially in the larger ring gauges.

Gispert cigars also have a nice delicate sweetness to them, especially the larger ring gauges and when young, so buy then fresh in small batches. Once they get some age on them, 9 months, a years they start to get spicy.

Most Maduro Cigars tend to have a nice sweetness to them. Fuente 898s are very nice. Also another Fuente product, the Montesino brand in Maduro have a nice natural sweetness.

I know they are flavored or infused but Drew Estate has some very nice, high quality cigars that have wonderful sweet flavor profiles. Do not hesitate to try them, they are truly good cigars.

YES! Thanks! This is the kind of "sweetness" I am talking about. I have had the Torano Signature and I agree.
So we have:
Torano Signature
Arturo Fuente Don Carlos (red&black lablel)
Casa Torano
Chateau Real
Hemmingway Maduro

Any more? Thanks for the suggestions so far! Please keep them coming!:chr

Did you try the Rum dip from Blue mountain Cigars.
It has a cigar taste with a rum after taste not sugar tipped

I've found that a number of the ERdM maduros have a natural sweetness, especially in the larger lengths and ringsize. Try the Robusto Larga and the Reserva Salado, for instance, which fall well within your price point.

I get a sweetness from sun grown wrappers, especially the Diamond Crown Maximus and a little from the VSG. But those are over $8. So I'm useless.

E.P. Carrillo Maduros have the classic maduro sweetness. Very good stick - and my local B&M (Burn's Tobacconist) carries them at $6.00 a pop for something like a 5.5x42.

There are gobs of maduros that impart big sweetness. Someone mentioned Hemingway maduros. Oliva Special G Maduros are another.
For a real clean sweetness like honey, lots of cc's deliver.
I'm trying to think of something that is singularly sweet, where that's all you'd say about the cigar, but I have nothing. Any good maduro will show you a lot of sweet. DPG JJ Maduro is probably way up there.

El Rey del Mundo Robusto/Robusto Larga/Robusto Suprema all have a very distinctive sweetness.

I have also found some sweetness in the Taboo HSG line.

Ding ding ding.......I think this is what he is looking for with Baccarat. You need to check the bands because there is the sugary one and a more tobacco only version.

Agreed that the DE stuff is definitely infused. I use to hide the fact that I think the Atom Maduro is a great smoke for me. But as I got older I said I could give a **** what anyone thought. Its a great change of pace cigar.

"Sweetest" & "Creamiest" (both in the same cigar) that I've had was a Montecristo Seven. I thought it had to be infused or something! Research said not infused.

I enjoyed it immensely for that sweet factor. It was almost TO sweet.

Give that a try.

Lol. That's funny because I can't smoke maduros. They taste like bitter rotting dirt to me. There are a few I can handle, but I have not enjoyed about 95% of the ones I have had.

But I will smoke oscuros from LFD and Liga Privada.

I have found that more often than not, I get a sweetness from Nicaraguan leaf. That's not to say a Dominican can't be sweet, but it usually takes a premium Dominican cigar to provide that level of sweetness that a $3 Famous Nicaraguan can.

Here is a short list:

La Esencia - while it can be a bit spicy, the sweetness can really shine through
Anejo - Most maduro's are sweeter and the Anjeo is a great example of that
Hirsh y Garcia - IMO the perfect cigar

It's amazing what people pick up different in the same sticks! For example, Torano's Sigs and AF's Don Carlos are both two of my long-term favorites! I have at least two boxes of each of these in my coolers. But, I don't think I'd describe either as "Sweet". However, I WOULD describe them both as smooth! I seem to get more in the nature of leather, and nuts (Like pecan) from these sticks! Just goes to show that what someone else tastes may not be the same taste you get out of a cigar!

While I don't get "sweet" out of these two, I definitely recommend them!!! Probably the best "sweet" I remember came from the original Famous Nic 3000 sticks, and also from many of the AF Anejo's I've had. But, the Anejo does not fit your price break! The Famous Nic 3000's definitely do, but I haven't had any of these newer than the third production run (several years ago!), so I have NO idea if the current production is anything like the 3000's from the past.

Good luck on the search!

I find that a lot of Maduro's have that "maduro" sweetness to them. AF 8-5-8 Maduro, Padron 2000/3000, AF Hemingway Maduro and Kristoff Maduro. Some Cameroon wrappers also have a gentle sweetness to them, AF Hemingway Signature is my favorite Cameroon. Also The AF Queen B, Sungrown imparts a slight sweetness. All smokes listed would fall with in your price range. Hope this helps.

If your looking for sweet tobacco taste without infusion, just the natural sweetness of tobacco, you need to get a pipe and try different straight virginia tobacco's. I personally have never had natural tobacco sweetness like this with a cigar, just a pipe. Sorry if this isnt an option, but I smoke both and never grab for a cigar when I'm looking for that sweet tobacco taste.

Carbonell. From the description

If you enjoy mild cigars with some sweetness, I promise youll fall in love with Carbonell cigars.

Carbonell is a great-tasting, mild and pleasant smoke. Rolled in the Dominican Republic since 1907, this cigar consists of long-filler Dominican leaves and an Indonesian wrapper. They´re unique because of their naturally sweet taste. The sweetness comes from the Carbonell "sweet leaf," which gives it an incredibly smooth, mild taste and rich aroma. Carbonell is not widely available, but those who try them always stay with the brand. If you like pleasant, mild cigars with a sweet touch, then Carbonell is a must to sample.

If you can your hands on them, I can pick up quite sweet notes from CC Fonsecas. They become especially present after smoking smoking stronger like a Monte. Grassy, somewhat creamy, and quite cheap. But don't let the price fool you, they are outstanding cigars in my opinion.
