I think I know exactly what you're asking, and I'd absolutely say yes.

To back that up, what's the difference between a CAO Flavours Cherry Bomb pc and a Por Larranaga pc? If anyone can smoke the former the whole way through without dying, they deserve a medal. The second, they'll want another one.
Scott, I would humbly disagree. Flavored cigars are a significant portion of the "Premium" market. Maybe even similar proportion to the "Super-premium" Your statement may apply to some machine made cigars, but even with those the detrimental effects is arguably the same as any other tobacco. Cigarettes are a different animal as they are inhaled. Without inhaling, the absorption of chemicals through the mucous membranes is minimal.
