I posted a little while back about introducing my cousin to finer cigars and how he was loving his Phillies Chocolate. I know we all have different tastes and that's what makes us all unique but as hard as I've tried he still loves them dang chocolate turds. I saw the Acid Nasty is supposed to be chocolatey, anyone tried one? Any other sticks that claim to be chocolately? Or should I just smoke and let smoke and forget it? lol

Come to think of it maybe I'm the one who needs to switch, it'd sure be easier on my budget!

Honestly, the Nasty is pretty intense. You can blow up a room with the aroma. If it's too much for him, you might never get him to try another infused cigar again. I'd say maybe aim for a bit more sedate, like a Java, Tabak Especial Nega (maduro), if he likes those, then try Natural Dirt or Natural Root. If the Java isn't enough, you can always go up to the Nasty and the rest of the red line.

Isla del Sol might actually be the best choice because of the sweetness.

Or maybe a CI Legends Copper label, but that might be an intimidating cigar due to it's size.

Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduro has some decent hints of chocolate, and for $2 is a great buy.

Agreed on the ITSFM... especially Robusto and smaller sizes. Gurkha Doble maduro tastes like chocolate cake batter, too. If he's coming from junk flavoreds, though, I'd transition him with the Isla or a smaller java first. Some of the CAO flavors may be good, too... Moontrance or Earth nectar, maybe? They're definitely sweet...
