smk819 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I had a Bolivar Tubos #1 a few years ago, It was like eating dessert, sweet and fruity. I have only encountered that taste one other time in an unknown cigar given to me in Whistler, BC. I have been searching futily for that taste ever since. In both cases I burnt my fingers amoking to the nub. I have had hints of this taste in BBFs and in R&J petite Juliettas, but never a whole cigars worth. Anyone else ever had this experience.

strayvector Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Give the Juan Lopez seleccion no.2 a try. To me, one of the most flavorful cigars. Light bodied, but with definite complexity of flavors. Although I favor heavier bodied cigars, this one is just a yummy morning cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I also had the same experience with the Boli Tubos #1. I purchased it @ the Montreal LCDH , pricey but well worth it. I haven't had many good tubos but this sure was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 A recent Monte #2 I had was raisin/fruity/floral throughout the whole smoke - fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hmmm . . . I've had some sweet cigars, like ERDM Tainos; I've had some fruity-spicy cigars, like Boli CGs; but I haven't had sweet and fruity cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy2 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I find that the R n J Churhills are when aged and are a strong smoke too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoatLocker Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'm just finishing a '98 Partagas 898 Unvarnished. One of the sweetest cigars I've ever had. Not really fruity, but very floral and sweet. Not that soapy, perfume taste, but sweet like a honeysuckle. Mild to medium and very flavorful. Guess I better grab a box or three before they are gone.

Spud2 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Gifted cigars can be pretty sweet! Know what I mean. :-) I recall a few very good creamy's, but not any I'd call sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldo Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The SC La Punta can have some nice sweet undertones, but I'd never call it pronounced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmos Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 RyJ Churchill's show signs of what some call "ripe fruit". I tend to agree with that assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 San Cristobal line R&J Exhibicion No 4 Red Wrapper RASS Ramon Allones Gigantes Aged Partagas serie De Connoisseur No 3 R&J's in general excluding the Rxhibicion 3 The fruit pronounced in the above is mostly raisin or stewed fruit. Unfortunately, it is not like choosing candy from the store. Every box is not equal. Fruitiness requires some age (3-5 years) and requires some good level of oil. A 5 year old box of cigars with ordinary construction and blend is not going to get you that sweet taste. Better off purchasing a superb box of 2-3 year old cigars and laying them down for another 18-24 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hayes Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I've found the partagas D1 to show some fruitiness. But more like a xmas pudding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have asked this question so many times. I refuse to believe that cigars can have this attribute based upon the soil conditions or the terroir.

BobbyRitz Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 There is a fair amount of fruit on the palate when I smoke aged Punch RS11s. My open cab of 00's are wonderful! :-D Strike that...that suck and no one should buy them. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aavkk Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I smoked a RA Gigantes last night that for about the entire 1st 3rd was very fruity IMO. This was relatively young too, either late 06 or early 07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an oldie :-) My honest answer is that I don't really know how or why cigars take on the flavors that they do. Why does a wine taste like anything except grapes and the wood of the barrel it was stored in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
