Can anyone recommend a small to mid sized aromatic style cigar? I have friends over occasionally and most don't regularly smoke, so I'd like to have something mellow and sweet I can have on hand for guests, when I smoke my pipe. Thinking swisher sweets only higher quality ..maybe a vanilla or anise flavor ?

Thanks gents

Acid seems pretty popular. I had one. It wasn't bad, just wasn't in my wheelhouse. It wasn't the sweet or vanilla spectrum, more like incense/lavender/floral hookah flavored. There are mellow and sweet cigars with vanilla and anise flavors that aren't artificially flavored, too. I just smoked an H. Upmann Legacy last night that tasted like buttery sweet sugar cookies dipped in anise and cardamom chai.

Are you thinking flavored cigars? Like Velorok said maybe you can find an Acid cigar that fits your flavor profile, size and price point. My wife likes the Blondie 4 inches long and about 4 bucks. Lots of flavored cigar options

I, being s big coffee nerd, have been very curious about the coffee infused smokes (Rocky, Tabak, nub) but recently had my curiosity dampened when told they taste like artificial flavor chemicals.

CAO has some flavored items that are decent,and I second the Java.
but why inflict that on a guest? buy a couple nice smaller cigars and let them enjoy real tobacco flavors.
like you do with your pipe......................

I second this, not necessarily a premium stick but not a dog rocket either. Just a decent little smoke.

They aren't infused cigars per se, but I do like a Kentucky Fire Cured now and then...as well as the Camacho American Barrel Aged.

If there's a Tinderbox near you, they have a cigar called the Wilshire. It's blended from pipe tobacco, Lane CQ1 I think.

The only other infused or flavored thing I could recommend is the Drew Estate Java.

Everything else tastes like rubbish.

A friend, just last night, recommended Acid Cold Infusion Tea. Neither of us smoke flavored or infused cigars, but he tried one and liked it quite a bit, apparently. He described it as mild, smooth, and leaving a sweet tea flavor on your lips.

1+ on Velorok's suggestion of an H. Upmann Legacy
