    Should I try one of these DE flavored/infused cigars, or are they all revolting?

    I'm about to put in an order at BnB with a Groupon I never used and is about to expire. I've never had flavored cigar in my life, but looking at their selection I'm curious about a few.

    DE Tabak Especial Negra
    DE Java Maduro
    Natural Root (apparently not flavored, but uses pipe and other exotic tobaccos)
    Ambrosia

    What say you, give 'em a try or head for the hills?

    Those should be significantly less flavored than any Acid, so give some a shot. You won't know if you like them or not any other way.

    Not saying Acids are bad, just not for me.

    I'm not one for flavored cigars, the only one from the list I have had is the Natural. IIRC the cap is sweetened, just FYI.

    I have smoked all of them. The tabak and Java are good mild smokes slightly sweet with heavy coffee flavors. The ambrosia (not sure which one you are looking at) are a toned down version of the ACID, really good IMO, the root did nothing for me don't really remember what it taste but I remember I hated it. So if you have never tried a flavored cigar I would go with the tabak or Java.

    The Ambrosia they have is the Mother Earth. I'm a little scared of it being a clove-bomb.

    Which would you choose between the Tabak and Java? I noticed they also have the Nub Cafe series. Any good? I'm probably just going to go for one or two since I might not liked infused stuff at all.

    Clove can be overwhelming if you don't like it. Either the tabak or the Java should be good. The Java is DE and Rocky Patel at least they use to be, it would probably be more appropriate for you.

    Never tried the nub so I can't comment on that one.

    I'm not a fan of infused/flavored cigars. I tied an ACID ones and couldn’t do it. However, Tabak is pretty fabulous. Smooth, mild, creamy with a distinct taste of coffee. Not my everyday smoke, but a nice change of pace every so often.

    I was not unimpressed with a Java. I find it to be flat and unsatisfactory.

    I tried the Tabak Negra and thought it was decent....

    I find the ambrosia to be enjoyable. I say give it a try. The tabaks are worth trying. If you find you dont like it then dont get more but if you are curious give it a whirl.
