I recieved one in a sampler once, and decided to burn it on my way home from work. Well, as soon as I lit it and took the first puffs to light it, I pitched it out of the window onto the street . Now I like sweetness in cigars, but not THAT sweet. It was intensely sweet to me, cause it had a sweetened tip. At one point in time I used to like those sweetened tips, but that was before I started smoking premium cigars, and back in the Lars Tetens/Hav-a-Tampa Jewels/Swisher Sweets days for me. Anyways, I don’t know of any intensely sweet premium cigars unfortunately (besides the Baccarat). But one I found pretty tasty that had some great sweetness, is a SCdLH Principe. First Cuban I nubbed...or, if you’re up for it, give up smoking for a few weeks, give your palate time to reset. So with that, I wish you good luck in your quest, and I hope you find what you are looking for. I actually started writing the response above yesterday, about the time you posted your response. I suppose we may be in agreement about Baccarat . I definitely can’t abide an artificially sweetened tobacco product. I did smoke my first principe in some time the other day. I think the previous box i had smoked was before i started keeping my humidity lower; it was muggy dc summer and non-vacuum-sealed shipping; and I wasn’t giving them much rest. Albeit delicious, none from that box gave me the flavor of the one from @Wertman that I recently smoked. It was like maple syrup and gingerbread oozing from every pore of my being. I think this mkre than adequately provides the missing niche flavor i had been searching for. I’ve got more on the way. I have a feeling that, now that my humidor conditions are much more stable than before, principes will be in constant rotation. Edit: @Brandon we posted concurrently, apparently. Pertinent responses. I don’t per se want to feel exactly like I’m eating sweets, so much as i want a flavor that evokes the emotional and dopamine response associated with it. The principe i smoked recently didn’t leave a sweet residue in my mouth, but evoked memories of lebkuchen from my childhood. That’s precisely the phenomenon i had hoped for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danimalia Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Recently, the PL Picadores and HdM Elegantes have shown a lot of sweetness ROTT for me. The Elegantes come in 10ers, so they might be worth a try. I just received a box from our host, and they're beautiful cigars. I've noticed that my palate has changed a ton over the years. I'm in a phase right now where I get a lot of sweetness. In the past, it was something I rarely noticed. In fact, a couple of years ago when I had my first non-Partagas Cuban in several years, I went in expecting what I thought of as the standard, Cuban twang, but what hit my palate was something entirely different. A very creamy, aromatic sweetness. I enjoyed it so much it inspired me to dive a bit deeper into Cubans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctorossi Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Vegas Robaina marca in this thread yet. I often get a sweet undertone from them, especially the Don Alejandro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derboesekoenig Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I get sweetness from San Cristobal for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
