Different Tasting Cigars

Are there any cigars in the cigar world that taste different from others and are good? I don't mean flavored cigars or even different nuances but rather cigars that legitimately taste different than most you have had. I ask as I always have dreams about getting cigars that taste like foods or drinks or candies (for some reason, they are always these little nub like cigars that are maybe half the size of the actual NUB brand...I'm odd, I know). I know there won't be any that taste like those things specifically but didn't know if there was anything unusual out there in the marketplace.

I guess you could add flavored cigars in separately. Are there any flavored cigars out there that are legitimately good? I have had a few and wasn't really a fan of any. The only flavored cigar I enjoyed was the Acid One, but from what I understand, it is flavored differently than most. I have tried the Acid sampler and all the others were gross and tasted like chemicals or incense or something like that. I have also had some CAO flavored cigars, the original Java and some really random brands that I can't think of. Maybe the closest other one I have had that I could say I liked was the DE Natural Dirt, but that was only alright. I really enjoy smoking hookah of all different flavors, but flavored cigars are a very different beast.

I do have to say that I really want to try the Java Mint as I am a huge mint fan of all sorts and that one intrigues me.

let the sun, soil and weather with a touch of aging flavor the cigars for you
no need to add anything else

I got a Rodrigo and Roma craft from Al in his blind trade, so I will have to give those a try first to see if I see any difference.

I had a friend that brought a competitors house brand by and I have to say it was a different taste from anything else I've ever had and I really enjoyed it, best of all they're dirt cheap too.

2 bundles of 20 for $59. It was an oscuro wrapper and the name of it was Spanish for estate or plantation, the second part of the name was where the summer games were held. There I just told you the name but I don't think I broke any rules???

I need to order some to see if that one was a fluke or if they all have the same enjoyable flavor. I'd order some but I ordered more 5.56 instead and she wasn't upset so no need to push my luck! d'oh!

I figured out which of the several Spanish words for "estate" you meant, the one that starts with "H". Then I quickly determined it's a house brand of.... well, I can't say it directly, but it's also the name of the favorite submachine gun of 1920s mobsters.

I've found their house brand sticks to be just horrible, so I'll pass. This could be an exception, but I don't intend to find out personally.

maybe it's me, but I always found Padron x000 line, especially maddies, taste different from any other cigar.

Love seeing the Lars Tetens referral!

There are plenty of differences between every brand and even different vitolas of the same.....the trick is developing a palette that allows you to know the difference. Still there are some factors that make cigars more different from each other and are easier to discern. In addition to different brands, try different wrappers - maduro, connecticut, san andreas, etc. and then try different strength blends - strong to mild. Then try different countries of origin.

Nothing compares to a well aged (i.e. >10 years old) Cuban cigar. YMMV fog
