Infused

[Country Bladesmith]

The only one I every liked was the Avanti anise cheroots. They are an unapologetic punch in the face that doesn't claim to be fancy.

Hey, I like anise/licorice. I’ve never seen those. Are these your traditional dark fired Kentucky/Italian cheroots other than the flavoring?

Yes. Torqued up Italian style licorice flavored dog turds.

I really can't stand infused cigars. The aroma is simply over powering. I smoked half of a Lars Teton and it damn near killed me.

I don’t usually like them either, but I do like the idea of licorice with DFK, like those cheroots rajangan was talking about. It’s a good combo in pipe tobacco, so maybe those might change my attitude about them. But, yeah, I usually avoid flavored cigars like the plague.

What I wonder is where they're going for a long time infused or flavored cigars where just cheap crap not that they couldn't be enjoyed but you couldn't call them good quality at all. If you could taste the tobacco it would taste not so great and give you thee clear impression that flavored cigars where what happened to tobacco that wasn't good enough to be used in anything else. I'll put it this way Backwoods where the face of flavored cigars and while I can enjoy one there is nothing connoisseurish about them no detail to suss out really. Then Drew Estate made those Acids and called them infused and those seemed to win over smokers one person at a time. They seemed like they might be something that wouldn't last. But then you'd meet one more cigar smoker that was like you have to try them just to see that flavored cigars don't have to be cheap. Now there are a number of other decent flavored cigars and oh yeah acid came up with the ultimate marketing trick of using a new word "infused" to get over the image of aromatic cigars. I bet in about ten years infused is going to be something that many cigar lines have in their range. And instead of having ask if people like to smoke infused cigars you'll be more surprised by the people that never do. Just my silly speculation on it.

The occasional Acid Kuba scratches that itch when needed.
