Bolivar Belicosos Finos – Best for a Potent Punch

Bolivar cigars are named after Simon Bolivar, the South American revolutionary. So, it’s apt that these sticks are renowned for their bold flavor.

Like Simon Bolivar himself, the Bolivar Belicosos Finos is especially forceful in character. That’s not just because it’s a full-bodied cigar. It’s also due to the stick’s Figurado design, which further bolsters the flavor.

The binder and filler alike comprise premium Cuban tobacco. The finished cigar is practically a work of art, having been meticulously rolled by hand.

• Brand: Bolivar
• Ring Gauge: 52
• Length: 5.5 inches

Romeo y Julieta Churchills – Best for Floral Notes

Winston Churchill was famous for his cigar smoking. He was especially fond of the Romeo y Julieta brand’s Clemenceau cigar. This was 7 inches long and had a ring gauge of 47.

After Churchill visited Cuba in 1946, Romeo y Julieta renamed the Clemenceau in his honor. Yes, that stogie is now called the Romeo y Julieta Churchill - and you can buy it from Swiss Cuban Cigars.

Its flavor profile is diverse, but there’s a definite floral theme. You can pick up on it, even with a pre-light draw. However, the floral notes particularly come out to play once you’ve ignited the tobacco.

• Brand: Romeo y Julieta
• Ring Gauge: 47
• Length: 7 inches
• Vitola: Churchill

El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme – Best for Afternoon Smoking

The afternoon is often the time to grab a coffee or dessert. However, this stick makes a great substitute for either. That’s on account of the Choix Supreme’s coffee and chocolate flavors.

It’s all hand-rolled in an oily, dark wrapper. This alone will look impressive resting on your fingers. Additionally, the initial draws will release white smoke in abundance.However, the Choix Supreme isn’t mere eye candy, especially if you age the cigar before puffing on it.

Impressive ageing potential

Cohiba Robustos – Best for Get-Togethers

Cigar smoking especially excels as a group activity. Avid cigar smokers are often keen for other people to join them. These get-togethers can happen on birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions.

If you are planning this kind of event, it’s wise to choose archetypal cigars. After all, the friends who turn up will want a good idea of what they’re getting.

The Cohiba Robustos is a classic choice of cigar. It’s in the familiar Robusto size and packed with flavor. It’s made of gorgeous tobacco grown in Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region. This is an area renowned for the high quality of its tobacco.

Bolivar Royal Coronas – Best for a Coffee-Shop Vibe

The Bolivar Royal Coronas makes a great first impression, as its wrapper is smooth to the touch. However, the real magic begins when you take your first draw.

Straight away, you’ll get a blast of mocha. It’s accompanied by an aroma reminiscent of roasted nuts. So, if you enjoy regularly sipping nutty coffee at your local coffee shop, you’ll be in familiar territory.

Partagas Lusitanias – Best for Movie Nights

We take pride in selling 100% authentic Cuban cigars. The Partagas Lusitanias we offer come with authenticity seals. Besides the seal’s unique barcode and hologram, there’s another sign of genuineness to look for.

That’s the presence of visible veins on the wrapper. These bumps show how the stogie has been carefully rolled by hand.

It’s also light, meaning you won’t struggle to grip it even when preoccupied with other things. These ‘things’ can include watching films in your living room or home cinema. Make a night of it!

Cohiba Siglo VI – Best for Drinks Pairing

If you often enjoy sipping a robust drink, the Cohiba Siglo VI makes the ideal accompaniment. The most important word here is ‘robust’. The cigar’s powerful taste can too easily overwhelm a mild drink.

You can still take your pick from a wide range of coffees and alcohols. For an Age of Sail vibe, going with rum can be – ahem – plain sailing. When considering other beverages, it pays to be selective.

For example, if you are drawn to whiskeys, look for the darker ones. Similarly, if beer is your thing, make it full-bodied. When you pair the Cohiba Siglo VI with the right drink, the result can be sensational.

H. Upmann Petit Coronas – Best for Short Smoking Sessions

Many of us find ourselves with little wriggle room in our schedules. Thankfully, you don’t always need it to smoke a cigar. Often, all you have to do is downscale. The smaller the stogie, the sooner you can finish it.

One such stick is this H. Upmann Petit Corona. It’s got the brand’s trademark Vuelta Abajo tobacco encased in a dark brown wrapper. By lighting this cigar, you can quickly unleash its powerful array of complex aromas.

You don’t have to free up too much time to enjoy it all, either. It’s all over in just 40 minutes. That doesn’t mean the cigar sacrifices on flavor. Overall, the smoking experience is smooth and mild, but also delightfully sophisticated.

Montecristo Double Edmundo – Best For Long Smoking Sessions

Those include coffee, chocolate, earth, cedar, and oatmeal. The strength starts out mild but intensifies over time. Just make sure you set aside enough time to really savor it all!

Trinidad Fundadores – Best for When Money is No Object

This is the priciest of our top flavored cigars. The per-cigar price outweighs that of any other stogie on the list. At the same time, there can be a marked difference between a cigar’s price and its value.

This is especially the case for cigar-smoking connoisseurs. These people are often willing to pay extra for cigars of extra-premium quality. The Trinidad Fundadore certainly falls into this category.

Selection Criteria

Flavored cigars are essentially ‘customised’ cigars. That gets to the heart of why they are so various. This makes it all the trickier to choose between them. We say that from experience!

It’s hard to pick out even just one cigar from this category, let alone 10. However, we eventually managed it. To decide on the best flavored cigars, we weighed up the following criteria:

• Key Characteristics: Some of these can seem too much like techy details. In practice, however, they can make a surprisingly big difference. Examples include the cigar’s length, ring gauge, and strength. We’ve tried to include a good variety.
• Flavors: You can likely reel off a long list of your favorite food and drink flavors. So, you will already know what cigar flavors to look for, too. Our list includes lots of different options.
• Vitola: This is another factor affecting the cigar’s flavor. A cigar’s size and shape are collectively regarded as its ‘vitola’. You’ll find a range of different vitolas above.
• Occasion: Some cigars take much longer to burn than others. When you consider any specific cigar, ask yourself whether you’ll have enough time to fully smoke it. Whatever your preference, you’ll find it in our list.
• Price: Lower is not necessarily always better. It’s more important to consider how much you get for what you pay. Certain premium cigars are genuinely good enough to warrant the extra financial outlay. This is front and centre of our decision-making process.
• User Reviews: These act as a form of ‘social proof’. All in all, they are inherently more trustworthy than the cigar brand’s marketing spiel. Reviews have been assessed for every cigar on our list.

What is a Flavored Cigar?

There are many different types of tobacco out there, and each has its own distinct natural flavor. Environmental factors also play a part in the tobacco’s flavor profile. These include how the tobacco was grown, cured, fermented, and aged.

So, in many instances, a traditional cigar is plenty flavorful by itself. Nonetheless, this remains a subjective judgement. With many cigars available today, extra flavor has been artificially added. Since the 1990s, the market for these ‘flavored cigars’ has grown significantly.

The flavor in question can be added in various ways. Often, the process involves dipping and soaking the tobacco in the flavoring agent. Alternatively, the tobacco might be sprayed with the agent. This can be alcohol, such as wine or brandy. Other times, it can be an extract, like vanilla or coconut.

The point is to give cigars flavors not traditionally associated with cigars. Orthodox cigars taste earthy, leathery, and creamy. It’s much harder to sum up how flavored cigars taste, as there’s a myriad of options on the market. These stogies can have notes of fruit, chocolate, coffee, vanilla… the list goes on.

What is the Difference Between Flavored and Infused Cigar?

Various flavoring methods can be used on a cigar. This partially explains why some supposedly ‘flavored’ cigars are instead called ‘infused’ cigars. Are ‘flavored’ and ‘infused’ cigars essentially the same thing?

The short answer is that it’s complicated. In both instances, flavor is added after the cigar’s tobacco is grown, cured, fermented, and aged.

Many brands are secretive about exactly how their infused cigars are made. Still, it’s possible to discern key differences between flavored and infused cigars.

With ‘infused’ cigars, flavoring is added to the tobacco before the latter is rolled. Conversely, with ‘flavored’ cigars, the flavoring comes after the rolling. Also, infusing takes longer than mere flavoring.

For example, a manufacturer seeking to give a cigar a woody taste can hang the tobacco above burning wood. The tobacco will consequently absorb the wood’s flavor.

Today, the terms ‘flavored’ and ‘infused’ tend to be used interchangeably. So, some ‘flavored’ cigars may actually have been ‘infused’ (and vice-versa). This can make a surprisingly big difference to the stogie’s taste, as will be explained…

How to Pick the Best Flavored Cigar

The best flavored cigar for you strongly depends, of course, on the ‘you’ part. Our top flavored cigars include ‘infused’ cigars. These offer deeper, more consistent flavor. This is due to how thoroughly the tobacco will have absorbed the flavoring agent.

So, deciding whether to go down the ‘flavored’ or ‘infused’ route is one crucial piece of the puzzle. At the same time, it bears emphasis that these are two very broad categories. They leave you with many other things to think about, such as:

• Your flavor preferences: Even if you have never smoked a cigar, you are bound to already be familiar with many cigar flavors. They include chocolate, coffee, cherry, and honey.
• Your budget: Generally, the quicker and easier a cigar is to make, the lower its price. So, ‘flavored’ cigars tend to be cheaper than their ‘infused’ counterparts.
• Your cigar-smoking experience: The best flavored cigars for beginners taste bold right from the off. Infused sticks are more complex in taste and so best left to experienced smokers.
• When you will smoke the cigar: The best infused cigars change in flavor as you smoke. Naturally, then, they lend themselves well to lengthy smoking sessions. Small cigars are better when you are pressed for time.
