Sorry

Not that I've heard of. I'll check my locals and see what they have them listed for.

Famous shows them on sale for 121 till end of today I think. Not sure if this is what you smoked.

Also, are these an infused/flavored cigar? Never had one before, so just curious what these are like.

Not something I would go out and buy, but just curious what the characteristics are like.

I have been wanting to try these just haven't had the chance, considering I love the whiskey. These are Maker's Mark whiskey infused cigars. As for the actual flavor profile I have no clue.

Description: Maker's Mark cigars combine two of man's greatest pleasures: Great bourbon and cigars. Subtle bourbon seasoning enhances these luxurious, mild to medium-bodied cigars handmade in The Dominican Republic with premium Cuban seed longfiller tobaccos and top-grade Sumatra wrappers. The result is an exquisite, well-balanced and aromatic smoke laced with the essence of Maker's Mark bourbon. Each cigar is hermetically sealed in a glass tube and hand-dipped in wax. A very different kind of cigar. Salud!

$8.00 a piece for these are not a bad price.

The only infused that I like and have had over and over is the Gurkha Grand Reserve (Natural premium cigars laced with Remy Martin ($1,200 a bottle) Louis XIII cognac.)

That's a yummy for me.

I like Maker's Mark and cigars separately, but not so sure if I would like both combined.

While not a big fan of infused cigars, Maker's Mark is one of the better ones, IMHO. They seem to have good tobacco quality and construction, and the bourbon flavor is pretty subtle.

ktblunden · 11-14-2011, 02:06 PM

I got a free sample from some site (don't remember where) when they started selling them 6 or more months ago. I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the tobacco or the construction, so I wonder if the consistency is off. I do agree that the flavor is subtle, but the one that I had had a damaged foot before I even took it out of the glass tube, the draw was really tight, and I had it split and unravel on me while I smoked it. This one was corona size, the larger ones might be better off.

Possibly they were stored long term with no humidification? I think some poeple think that since they are in tubes, they will be fine with none for years.

The ones I smoked were years and years ago, so certainly the quality could have gone south over the years.

I believe i see them on Famous from time to time but sorry brother not really sure

sammyboy405 · 11-15-2011, 09:43 PM

You looking for a box of these? Atlantic Cigar has the 650's for 148 a box.

They're right under 6 bucks a cigar. Not sure why their singles are more expensive. Maybe they're trying to sell what's left, I dunno.

I've ordered from Atlantic Cigar before, never had a problem.

Don't know, they were stored with humidification from the time I received them. The retailer had just started carrying them too, so I don't think they sat too long there. This was within the last year, so I think they were fairly new stock, unless the manufacturer was cleaning out their warehouse.

I was bombed one over the summer. Probably going to bust it out tonight. I'll let y'all know what I think.

May have to look into that one.. Thats 5.94 a Stick.. Good Deal right there.

11-23-2011, 07:04 PM

I saw them at my local B&M but have been leery to try them, might have to go for it and see.

Flounder · 11-29-2011, 11:57 AM

Sorry for my delay, I was out of town for about 10 days, and came back to classes. But I did smoke one at my cabin. Delicious.

The taste it left on your lips was kind of sweet, I cant really tell if it was infused or not. But it was a little on medium to heavy side, but very smooth. I had to cut it as a punch didn't seem to open it enough but once I got the draw right it was awesome.

It was too long ago for me to write any better of a review, but for $5.94 a stick I say buy a few to try, and you make your own call.

Shawn hines · 12-01-2011, 05:26 AM

I personally am not a fan of the infused cigars, but I agree with most on the thread. This is one damn fine cigar. I bought a box a few years back and smoked them all within a few weeks.... Now I want more since we are talking about them...
