I often use an analogy when describing flavored smokes to people not in the know. To me, flavored cigars are like flavored coffee creamer. It's designed for people who don't like the original flavor of the coffee…or brew bad coffee and are trying to make it palatable. I don't think they're using über great leaves for flavored smokes. The ones I've had tasted like flavored creamer in bad coffee. And I just couldn't get past the poor tobacco.
YMMV
