Most Fruity/Floral Cigar You Ever Had

sikk50 · 06-30-2009, 10:07 PM

Yes this was partialy inspired by Skywalker's thread, but I've been looking to expand my horizon's on morning smokes. I tend to enjoy Fruity/Floral smokes in the morning.

So I ask what cigar made you feel like you were smoking the Chekita Banana lady's hat?

Skywalker · 06-30-2009, 10:31 PM

Andrew, I'm flattered!!!

Perdomo Reserve Champagne was my first thought from your description. I swear the first one I smoked tasted just like bananas!!! Not a flavor I appreciate is a cigar, however many people like these!!!

Punch Royal Coronation tubo (NC). These have a great lemon/citrus flavor. It's the only nc Punch that I really enjoy.

JimmyPeaches · 06-30-2009, 11:04 PM

have you ever considered smoking on a hookah? you'd be able to find more direct floral/fruit flavor this way.

06-30-2009, 11:09 PM

An Acid lol.

awsmith4 · 06-30-2009, 11:27 PM

I think he means non artificial floral found in many cigars, I have found it in a few NCs but mostly Cubans especially RyJ and PL

The most floral cigar I've ever had was a Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill. It's the only cigar I've had that I would say was predominantly floral.

Jbailey · 07-01-2009, 12:03 AM

One that stands out as sweet/fruity/floral to me is the Hoyo Epi#2.

chippewastud79 · 07-01-2009, 01:25 AM

Closest thing resembling fruit flavors I have had, was something of an orange flavor in a Graycliff Crystal Pirate.

KUBA KUBA
almost made me puka puka

HK3- · 07-01-2009, 04:40 AM

I would ask Al. Al has been after floral cigars as long as I've been around on this board. He may have some direction for you.

Adriftpanda · 07-01-2009, 04:47 AM

Darrell, I thought it was going to be that La Gloria that Bob handed out... but I was wrong.

Mine would have to be a cigar out of the Acid line.

Bax · 07-01-2009, 04:52 AM

Can't really recal floral much on anything... lot's more to try, though

This man speaks the truth. I enjoy hookah from time to time. I like some fruit flavors, but mainly enjoy spicy or traditional flavors. I like my cigars to taste like tobacoo with subtle nuances that occur naturally not intentionally flavored or "infused".

I understood this thread to mean

Quote:

and to run with that I had a XXXXXXX CCC made in Geneva from Dominican Tobacco that tasted like I was eating Chrysanthemums or Jasmine.

Fumador · 07-01-2009, 07:04 AM

I'll say the LGC Medaille d'Or #'s 1 and 4 (CC's)

St. Lou Stu · 07-01-2009, 07:43 AM

I have only ever had one.... But the H. Upman Connoisseur #1 that I smoked was wicked floral.
I'll have to try more before I can say that all of 'em are like this.

wayner123 · 07-01-2009, 07:54 AM

As far as NC's go I would recommend:

Por Larranaga Cabinet Seleccion
Cabaiguan
Davidoff Millenium
RyJ Reserva Real

07-01-2009, 07:59 AM

Can't speak to the fruit angle but I do love floral. No expert mind you but I think of potpourri/floral when I and I stress I smoke these. Most are very reasonably priced.

This is old but it might help CLICK ME

And another CLICK ME

As you will see not everyone will agree but that's what makes the hunt so much fun.

I would suggest you by a couple of singles of the ones you want to try before a box purchase to make sure they are "floral" to YOU.

Enjoy.
