Anyone tried these, and if so which one(s)?

Conflicting data on the net whether they are infused/flavored...

Just bought a fiver of 'Jucy lucy' on a whim, and wondering what they will be like for a quick smoke...

They all contain some amount of various pipe tobaccos which have been cased (flavored).

Ehh, if you like pipe tobacco in a cigar, then maybe. I've tried a few, but am not a fan. Most where loosely rolled and quick burners.

Thanks for the info...

Now I doubt I will like them...

For my pipes I almost exclusively smoke Gawith & Hogarth black and brown ropes...I generally hate anything that is flavored or cased...

Not really into Latakia either...

The single exception to that is Sam Gawith 1792 flavored with Tonquin...

I take that back...I also have a Falcon dedicated to the very occasional bowl of Coniston Plug, which is about as nasty a Lakeland as can be found...

Smells like my old maiden aunt's toilet water back in the 60's...

It has probably been like 8 years since I had one...I think it was the Dirt. I don't remember much of it, but that it was alright. If I smoked it now I would probably hate it though.

I tried one or two when they first came out. Pipe tobacco taste and smell. Not for me, but they must be for somebody. If you like the smell/taste of pipe tobacco but not the difficulty of smoking a pipe, they might be for you. Pipes are a lot more fuss than cigars for the uninitiated.

I broke down and tried a Jucy Lucy last night...

I could detect no 'pipe tobacco', but the disgustingly sweetened tip had me toss the thing in 5 minutes...

Does Drew Estate actually make anything that doesn't have added flavors?

Good list although that Norteno/UC is a close one depending on the exact ones and sizes.

Hey Salmoneye,

PM me your addy, and I'll send you a sampling of DE's better, non-flavored cigars. Straight out gift. Nothing expected in return.

I am not into flavored cigars and I do smoke pipes with flavored tobacco. Different types of tobacco and you can include cigarette tobacco as a third type.
