The "sweetest" of Habanos?

[Joeyjojo]

Although not particularly popular during the FOH video review, i have had a 10 box of Monte petit no. 2's which tasted like sugarcane.     

If you also include a general confectionery flavour profile, some VR Famosos I've smoked had a black forest gateaux vibe to them (chocolate,cream and dark fruit)

HDM DC.  The best have a creamy honeycomb thing going on that I love.

Not sure cc is the way to go. If accompanied by a sweet drink, one might offset some of the cigar’s sweetness...

No offence meant but has the email sender experimented with infused nc available on the market? That could be a worthwhile option for truly sweet cigars...

Over to you folks for your input 

 

"Hi Rob

I hope the team and yourself are doing well and staying safe.  

I will keep it short.  I have a sweet tooth. My wife says I have a problem because I buy expensive coffee beans, roast them myself, put them through an espresso machine worth thousands and then add four spoons of sugar.  I buy $100 bottles of rum and then add coke.  Yes I have a sweet tooth and I know I am not going to change so can you help me out with four or five cigars that are Habanos's sweetest offerings?"

 I most definitely have a major sweet tooth... 

1) San Cristobal El Principe

2) Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo Du Maire

3) I have a box of REG April 2019 Monte Especiale no 2 that has a very sweet floral note to it

4) Romeo & Juliet Wide Churchills - very bright & sweet

5) Fonseca Delicias - Like eating a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios while walking through a flower nursery...One of the great hidden cheap n cheerfuls!

6) BUP July 2018 Saint Luis Rey Regios that I got from FOH have a similar sweet floral bouquet to them as they've gotten some time on them.  Powerful, but with sweet finesse!   

Hope this helps...

PS - Try Cream soda with your cigars.  I sometimes mix with bourbon as well.  I like Rum & Coke as well.  I don't care for spirits without a mixer, especially pairing with cigars.  The burning sensation & mouthfeel from the alcohol lingers on the palate too much, and it detracts from my tasting if the cigar.  Stay well Pres!

San Cristobal Principe paired with black coffee and I get sweetness coming through. More so than others for me.

RyJ Tacos. Had my first recently and I found it to be very deep and rich line a chocolate dessert.

Recent San Cristobal La Fuerza are far and away the sweetest CCs in my collection.  Many of them I can almost feel granular sugar on the palate.

Indeed. I just cracked a LGR JUL 19 box and they are decadent. First 5 cigars were 94/95 points. 2 touch-ups needed between the 5 cigars. Marshmallow/sweet salt cream/molasses. Pure class. And the wrappers are ugly and pale and the caps look like they were put on by a child (bought this particular box blind).

I'll go on record: LGR 19 La Fuerza is the best regular production cigar available right now.

the bolivar royal corona is what first got me into cigars, it was very sweet milk chocolaty flavored to me. another i didn't see mentioned i found surprisingly sweet and chocolaty, at least the 6 pack i tried, was the rafael gonzalez perlas. loved them and plan to get a box of both next chance i get

As I recall some Fuente maduros and sungrown were actually sprayed with some sugary water during curing. You could actually taste the sweetness on the lips while smoking them. I might still some in my NC humidor, but I haven't cracked that open for a while.
