So...[removing foot from mouth],

I previously stated that I didn't like flavored cigars, blah, blah, blah...well, Darkmerlinwgp are you listening???

I, ah, how do I say this? I do...

There, I said it.

I posted my review of the Moontrance on the pic board somewhere...liked it, didn't love it but would certainly smoke it again.

In retrospect, I think I liked it more than I first stated. Now, I'm finding myself on the search for it. LOL!

The Golden Honey (name?) was just as good as the Moontrance and the Bella Vanilla was too.

I like them in the order of 1]Moontrance (perfumey), 2]Bella Vanilla (subtle, creamy hint of vanilla - not to overpowering), 3]Golden Honey (nice smoke with sweet tastes).

Each of them were nicely constructed, had a perfect draw, held their ash to the label, and are made from premium tabaccos. They would be a decent smoke even without the added flavor. Not sickenly sweet like some others that are made with crappy tabacco scraps and then dunked in flavoring.

Creamy and mmm, mmm, good!

Gotta give 'em the thumbs up boys...at least try one before you thumb your nose at it...they're great little sticks with big returns...I'm converted.

Hey! if you like 'em that is fine by me. I don't like the flavored cigars. Well, tobacco is kind of a flavor I guess. Cigars do taste different. How could they have taste without flavor? Hmmm getting philosophical here. I don't want to taste raspberry, vanilla or hazelnut in a cigar. Likewise I do not drink coffee that have the words mocha or creme in their names!

Xrundog, yeah, yeah, yeah, I felt the same way...I still don't think I'll try a hazelnut cigar! It gives me the willies to think about it.

And I like my coffee like you do...coffee...

But I'm here challanging you to a taste test of at least one of C.A.O.'s flavored cigars (only because I was beating my chest so loudly about how much I disliked flavored ones. I felt I owed an editorial to my previous statements).

So maybe you won't buy a box, but I bet you'd at least enjoy one stick...I had my guard up and was desperately trying to find something to HATE about them...go figure!

That's okay for you gals but we manly men with hairy chests and potent body odors and two left brains who never cry and who love our cigars strong and our coffee black and who never eat keish and like WWF wrestling and Clint Eastwood and who think Dr. Phil is a ****-whipped sissy would never admit to smoking a flavored cigar.

Flavored cigars.Well,Mothers' Day is coming up.Or,if you live in California,Gay Pride Day.

For a laugh and to give to non-smokers who ask for a cigar you know is too strong for them,I bought a box of Torano St.Charles.Aged,mellow,almost lost hint of brandy.Worth a shot at auction,they are long out of production if you like them.Actually not a bad morning smoke.

E-, I won a five pack of the moontrance and tried one for the first time last night. Suprisingly enough I was looking into my hand every minute or so to make sure this was CAO. Didn't expect it to taste like that, but Wow! On a whole I do not smoke flavored cigars. This is the first one in quite a long time. I'll say it has a unique flavor and sidestream wasn't offensive to anyone. Liked it so much I brought another when I left to go out. Different But Good.

Vanilla is my favorite ice cream flavor! But I do not like any other flavor in cigars other than tobacco itself! All of the flavored cigars I have tried, not many, have been terrible! Ornealas Vanilla is flat out horrible and I agree with Keith, if I am going to smoke (I will not) a flavored cigar, it would be s Swisher Sweet!

Depends on the flavoring for me.
I bought a tin of Cuban Honey Amarettos... smoked half and gave the rest to my girl friend. I do have a friend that is convinced that Cuban Honey's are the top of the line.

As for other flavors. There are quite a few Acids that I enjoy, especially the blue line.
