'Sweet' cigars
My girlfriend really likes the cigars with sweetened caps, other than the gas station cheapies. Can anyone list some of these for me? I don't even know how to search for them or the names of any of em.. yeah, I'm clueless.

Re: 'Sweet' cigars
For traditional (ie: not infused or flavored), besides the Baccarat that Bob mentioned, the Professor Sila from Cigars International is another mild cigar with a sweetened cap.
For infused or flavored cigars you have a slew of offerings from Drew Estate: Java, Tabak Especial, Isla del Sol, some of the ACID cigars. The CAO Flavors line from CAO. A number of the Drew Estate Natural line cigars also have sweetened tips. |

Re: 'Sweet' cigars
Another vote for the Drew Estate line. The Java maduro is delicious and the Blondie is a very popular Acid choice. The Kuba Kuba is slightly larger than the Blondie and very popular as well.

Re: 'Sweet' cigars
Apparently I smoke like a girl, so I'll chime in (mostly to repeat and summarize what others have said).
Sweet: - Baccarat: Sweet, mild, a good baseline. - Baccarat Maduro: Similar to some of the Drew Naturals. - Diamondback: Similar to Baccarat. - Professor Sila: CI exclusive, similar to Baccarat, though slightly sour aftertaste. - Pai Gow: Famour Smokes exclusive, very similar to Pro. Sila including aftertaste. - Flor de Oliva Natural: Less sweet on the tip and more sweet in the tobacco... very pipey, one of my favorites and very reasonably priced. - Naturals by Drew: Aromatic and pipey, I like Dirt, Dirt Torpedo, Clean Robusto, didn't like Root or Root Deluxe which were not sweet tip. - Pirata Piquenos: Rough rolled, sweet tip, good 20-30 min smokes in tins of 8. Infused: - Acid: Lots of different profiles and plenty written about each. Blondie Belicoso is my favorite so far. Didn't care for Madre. - Java: Coffee infused, slightly sweetened, really liked the mint. - Tabak Especial: Similar to Java. The few I've had have been somewhat loosely rolled. - Isla del Sol: Another coffee infused from Drew, but lower quality overall than Java and Tabak. - Oliveros Gold Cognac- EXTREMELY strong cognac infusion. Flavored: - Erin Go Braugh: Mild, slight Irish Creme flavor and sweetness. - CAO Flavors: Strong flavoring that can sour towards the end. Eileen's Dream is a favorite of mine. - Cuban Honeys: Mild, medium sweetness and flavoring. - Oliveros Platinum Sweet: Medium body box-press, syrupy sweetness. |
