Default flavored tips

i've tried a few different infused cigars lately and some of them (mainly acids) had a flavored tip that was really displeasing. how common is it for cigars to have the flavored tip with similar taste to the acid blue line "wafe" and "connecticut rush"?

Not very common at all. Flavored cigars often have them, but even non-infused cigars like Flor de Oliva, have an option where the wrapper is sweetened. Not very pleasant at all in my opinion.

As always, YMMV.

No, not much. It's just a sweetened pectin they use to apply the cap(s). That's what you have to deal with when smoking artificially flavored cigars.

Nasty stuff, imo.

I've got some Robert Burns pnatelas from the 50's that boasts a sweetened tip. After all these years, you can still taste it.

THATS DISGUSTING.

so i guess this means i really wont be much of an infused cigar person cause im too distracted by the nasty taste to enjoy the cigar!!

If stuck on a desert island with a box of Acids but not enough rope to hang myself, I would cut that sweetened tip off, turn that sucker around and smoke it backwards all the while still hoping I somehow choked to death.

Haven't had the pleasure of a flavored cigar since smoking Honey Havanas back in my teenage days, not good at all.

If you happen to have extras and don't intend on smoking them, the troops seem to love them.

Yeah the sweet tips on the Acids never really did it for me either. I user a wet paper towel and that gets most of it off. They're better that way I think.

I started with those little flavored ones you get at gas stations. I used to love them. Until I tried quality cigars and now if I try to smoke any flavored ones, they make me literally sick.

Haven't had swisher sweets. Had backwoods though. Mainly Prime times the most as well as occasionally Don carbones, Colts, and Captain Black. Prime times are not as bad as the rest in my opinion though.
