A flavored cigar, also called an infused cigar, is premium tobacco with added flavor, usually coffee, vanilla, honey, fruit or a sweetened tip, layered over the leaf's natural character. They smell as good as they taste, which is why they're a favorite at parties, on patios and with friends who don't usually smoke.

Every cigar here is flavor-infused, from mild, sweet cigarillos you can finish in a Quick Smoke to fuller, dessert-style robustos from Drew Estate. Not sure which flavor is yours? Our Sweet Spot Sampler puts five side by side.

Flavored Cigar FAQ

What is an infused cigar?

An infused cigar is a premium cigar with flavor added to the tobacco or the cap. Some brands infuse the leaf with botanicals and oils, like Acid. Others add coffee, vanilla, honey or liqueur notes, or sweeten the tip so you taste it on your lips. Underneath, it's still real cigar tobacco, so a good infused cigar tastes like a cigar first and a flavor second.

What are the best flavored cigars?

It depends on the flavor you're after. Here are two favorites for each:

Are there whiskey or bourbon infused cigars?

Yes. Whiskey and bourbon infused cigars are a real and growing category, made either by infusing the tobacco with whiskey flavor or by aging the leaf in spirit barrels. If you'd like a touch of spirit character, the Tatiana Groovy Blue and Tatiana Petite Fusion Frenzy both carry a hint of cognac, and the Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour uses filler aged in Scotch whisky casks. And if what you're after is a cigar to enjoy alongside your bourbon, browse our bourbon and whiskey pairing cigars.

Are flavored cigars good for beginners?

Yes, and they're one of the easiest ways in. The sweetness softens the learning curve, most are mild to mild-medium, and smaller sizes like the Acid Krush tins let you try one in about 25 minutes. There's no right or wrong here. If you like the taste, that's the point.

What aromatic cigars smell the best?

Aroma is where infused cigars shine. Coffee-infused cigars like Isla del Sol fill a patio with a café smell, while Acid cigars give off a sweet, herbal, floral aroma people notice from across the yard. If the people around you matter as much as the smoke, start there.
