Jumpin’ Railcars and Collectin' Cans
Acid Cold Infusion, drew estate natural dirt are my favorite so far only tried a few, but might actually be leaning towards infused more than regular sticks.

I actually just got home from an Acid/Drew Estate tasting event. I had tried the Kuba Kuba and the Blondie, neither of which I really cared for. The Blondie, though, was tolerable. I do like an occasional Java. Tonight I had an Undercrown, but did pick up a couple Tabaks along with a couple non-infused sticks. Also picked up a sampler tin of Acids, because a couple didn't sound too bad.

I've worked most of my way through the Acid line, mostly on a dare. Actually, I held a poll for either smoking and reviewing all Acid cigars or all Gurkha.
Luckily, Acid won. <shudder>
Most of the way is relative, of course. I tried the Kuba Kuba on a lark way back in the day, and didn't care much for it. My tastes have evolved considerably as a piper, so I decided to give them a whirl. When DE decided to start putting out pipe blends, I was really hoping that the Acid line would find a place - or at least some of them - in a tin of pipe tobacco. Think American Lakeland. I would burn the hell out of many of their blends if that happened. Anyway, so far:
Ming Dynasty - good, complex
Extra Ordinary Larry - Really good. Cinnamon and lots of other stuff going on
1400cc - more of that cinnamon thing, which is really cool. A favorite in the line
One - less "infused" than other. Claims red wine, which I don't get. Overall a great stick
Toast - one of the line that I would buy by the box
Nasty - HELL THE FUCK NO. Spat tar all over me like I was in a bukkake flick. Simply awful
Cold Infusion - great stick. Really great stick. This one really works and will be kept on hand
Earthiness - strongly resembles Cold Infusion, with a bit more body. Winner.
Kong - treacly as hell. No thanks.
Toast, Cold Infusion, and Earthiness agree with me. I would buy Toast or Cold Infusion by the box - I like them that much. Not all the time, but when I want one, they are great. I have more of the lines, including some of the more limited releases that were sent to me. Need to fire one up, in fact.

I am definitely a fan of infused, they're a great change of pace when you don't want to think about smoking.
Nub Cafe Macchiato and Cappuccino
Isla del Sol
Acid Toast - this one was raisin sweet and the ash was almost crystallized, like actual sugar melted then cooled. Pretty good though.
Tabak Especial Cafe con Leche
Java Latte - I thought the maduro version was too bitter

Indeed so Most indeededly
I've been wanting to try the Nub Cafe and it seems by most replies people enjoy them. Planning on ordering a box of the isla del sol's when the Canadian dollar eventually gains some ground again so I think I'll have to give them a try too.

Nub Cafe Macchiato and CappuccinoI'd say add the third, I didn't find it a fault, just a change of pace. These things are great though, I'd advocate trying one.
Isla del Sol This was my first flavored/infused cigar, and I liked it a lot. Eventually it started feeling too sugary for me though, so I prefer the Tabaks
Acid Toast - this one was raisin sweet and the ash was almost crystallized, like actual sugar melted then cooled. Pretty good though.Not sure if I had this. Maybe I had a Blonde, or it could be a Toast, but I didn't like it. Then again, the Kuba Kuba wasn't really for me either.
Tabak Especial Cafe con Leche I have to say, I like the Negra a lot, as it is my favorite flavored/infused cigar, but I have yet to try a Cafe con Leche, and people seem to rave about them. Dolcue was too sweet.
Java Latte - I thought the maduro version was too bitter Agree with you here, and never tried the mint.
I'll add that Tatiana's of any type aren't worth smoking in my situation of limited smoke instances. I'd take the Tabak Negra 1st, Jave Latte is tied with the NUBs for 2nd, Isla del Sol is 4th because CAO Flavors are pretty good and take 3rd (although I haven't tried them all yet).
I don't think the KFC/Smoked thing is for me. I really liked the Leccia White, but the Black I've tried to smoke 3-4 times now, and never get past the cold draw...
I have an Opulence 3 and CAO MoonDream in the waiting line to try. I will say that those who don't like smoke seem to mind it much less when it's from a flavored cigar. A few times I've received compliments on the "room note" from folks who don't exactly love smoking. So there's that
