Has anyone ever had these before?

Anyone have a personal experience with these? They're cheap, so I don't expect it to be perfect.

I am pretty sure Mickey got a bag of these. Not sure how they are but I think they are infused.

Flavored is quite different from infused. Infusion is what Drew Estates does, my placing the raw tobacco in a room with the oils, etc. The tobacco acquires the oils as the leaves ferment.

Flavoring is done by adding something directly to the leaf or chopped up leaves, by spray or dipping.

These are clearly "rum flavored" much like Backwoods or "cigars" of similar description.

I thought someone posted a pic of bag of them next to their dog. can't remember what thread it was in.

I wanted to ask.

WittyUserName · 10-24-2011, 06:35 PM

I think it is probably a few pages back in the NC purchases thread.

You don't have to do that. I just was curious what they were like and what people thought of them.

They taste like rum & they are have a very strong aroma.....I really like them, they were the 1st flavored cigar I had, give em a try if you like rum and flavored cigars, can't go wrong.

Are these hand made?

No, they are machine made or at least machine finished.

The smell of them alone, is nauseating to me.

I had seen these in a B&M once, the lady was trying to swindle me into buying some of them. Not sure if they are good or not but they were not something I wanted to try at the time.

thechrisdotcom · 11-14-2011, 05:11 AM

Nice review. I still have yet to try one since I made this thread. I'll eventually get around to buying a bag probably for camping. My buddies will probably smoke a couple even though they don't smoke cigars, but figured a flavored cigar would suit them better.

Yeah I think they would be good for camping and passing out to friends. I know if someone handed me a cigar that tasted like rum I'd give it a shot whether I was a smoker or not

And if they don't like it, it was only $1.23.

I have thought about these too. Almost bought some.. Wasn't sure i wanted 20 though...

They appeal to my cheap tastes, i didnt realize they where rum flavored, that explains why i like them so much. i do agree that they are a bear to cut sometimes. makes me think about getting a steel cutter just to make it easier to clip them. hopefully i will have the time to get a bag of them tomarrow
