Curious about DE infused/flavored: coffee, Ambrosia, Natural, or none of the above?

Am I heading for the dark side?

I'm about to put in an order at BnB with a Groupon I never used and is about to expire. I've never had flavored cigar in my life, but looking at their selection I'm curious about some of them.

What say you, give 'em a try or head for the hills?

The Acid Kuba Kuba is a good mild and sweet smoke that I enjoy on occasion.

See, I'm so prejudiced against flavored smokes I didn't even consider these. They're supposed to be really sweet, right? That doesn't sound too appealing to me. Do all flavored/infused have sweetened caps?

 

[OtismyMan]

The Kuba Kuba is the only infused I've tried... The cap is sweetened quite a bit ... Hence why it's an occasional smoke but I enjoy it when I'm in the mood.

I do have a Nub Macchiato in the Humi ... Read on here someone describing it as smoking a Hersey chocolate bar and just have to see what that was like...

I say try it....just grab a few singles and see what YOU like...not what others try and tell you. Cigars like most things are about what you personally enjoy and you might love them.

They aren't my cup of tea. DE imho created a cigar to draw more non traditional Scutari enthusiasts into the fold. It created a flavored cigar that women could also enjoy. But, I this boy won't smoke those.like I said, not my cup of tea. But it all comes down to this, smoke why you enjoy, spend you money on what you enjoy.

The Tabaks are one of my favorite sticks man.....if you like coffee then pair the stick with it and boom...set

Reading more about the Ambrosia, it sounds pretty scary. Not wild about the idea of a clove-bomb.

I am leaning towards that one. Just saw they also have the Nub Cafe line, which @OtismyMan mentioned. Any good?

Every ACID I've ever tried has been just awful.

I will smoke a Java if it's handed to me, its a little like smoking a Kit Kat. Not what I want when I think of smoking a cigar, but as it's own experience it's decent.

Not a big fan of the Tabaks, personally, but I know a lot of guys love them.

DE infused were some of the first handmades that I tried, they had a leg up in what I considered a good cigar. Now, I appreciate the effort they put into the Acids and Javas... just not my cup of tea anymore. They do make a (very) decent cigar besides, in the Undercrown/Liga/Estelli,MUWAT lines, that I'm willing to buy.

I'll send you a few to try if you want and then you can use your Groupon on smokes you know you like.

No that's just bullying! Jeez, can't even ask a simple question around here.

Ok someone pony up this guys addy. In all seriousness bro @StogieNinja and @cgraunke have a point. Most aren't into the infused. I personally go ape shit over coffee and the tabaks imo pair excellent with them....if it's not your cup of tea no harm no foul. If it is then, well you know!

Sounds good. You take care of a couple Tabak & Java. I've got some ACID, Opulence 3, and some Natural for him, I think.
Seriously, Chico, let us share. Use the Groupon to splurge on something you normally wouldn't let yourself buy. I have so many damn cigars and I rarely get to smoke. I'm never going to smoke through everything that was generously gifted to me, let alone all the stuff I bought myself. (yet I keep buying )
I bought a bunch of infused starting out and would love to let you try a few.
Oh, and I HAVE that addy.
BEEP-BEEP!

Somehow I don’t think it's a matter of me "letting"! But really, it's totally unnecessary. The Groupon was bought and paid for months ago, so it's not even like real money. And besides, how many Fuentes and Ashtons does a guy need? May as well squander it on more risky stuff!

Good thing I didn't place the order yet. Thanks, brother. I may pick some baccy now since I have a whole rotation of pipes that belonged to my dad, and have been pipe-curious for some time. Which means you've probably just enabled another slippery slope!

Oh, I can help with pipe baccy, too!
I wonder if the mail last came yet, or if my box is still out there?!
