I'm stocked up now and will report back when i give some of these a try. They sure as hell don't smell like cigars... I'll try to be open-minded about the cap and go for the full experience before wiping it.

I smoked a Drew Estate Tabak Especial Robusto last night and it was one of the best cigars I've ever had, infused or not.
Generally speaking I'm not a big fan of infused cigars. I'm the same way with pipe tobacco, as I don't like many aromatics.
However there are a couple of infused cigars I have enjoyed, so I would say defintely try a stick before just deciding you don't like it. The ones I do like tend to be the coffee infused ones. If only I could find a coffee infused stick that didn't have the syrupy sweetened cap I think that would be the ticket.
There is a middle of the road here. Natural by Drew Estate swears up and down they are not infused, but they are definitely unique. I haven't liked all of them that I've tried, but a couple have been excellent. If you try one, I suggest the Big Dirt Torpedo.
Happy smoking.
I've now tried 2 different Acids, a DE Tabak Especial Dulce and a Negra, and an Ambrosia. Oh, and the infamous Jimmie's. The only one I cared for was the DE Negra, but wouldn't seek them out. Just not my thing, I guess. I'll give Natural a try, though.
I have had the Acid Kuba Kuba, and I could not place what the infused flavor was, for the life of me.
It tasted fine though. The most distracting thing for me was the sweetened cap. It was WAY too sweet for me and kept overpowering everything else.
Both Acids tasted very similar to me, and very heavy on clove spice. And yes, the caps are seriously sweetened!
I'll admit I quite enjoyed the Kuba Kuba. I found the aromatics to be quite pleasant the the flavours fairly smooth. The sweetened cap irritates me though. Ironically for someone with a sweet tooth, I enjoy natural hints of sweetness in the tobacco rather than a sugary cap. Luckily the cap doesn't stay sugary for very long.
+1 on the Cafe con Leche, but that wasn't on your list, so I voted none of the above.
The one I had was sweet the entire time.Quote:
