Question
Hi ,
I was wondering if you can suggest me some resonably priced mild,sweet cigars.I love the taste of Gudang Garam clove cigarettes.I gave this example as this is what i mean by mild ..no way stronger than this.
I found this site http://www.finckcigarcompany.com/finck/d.. where they have suggested Texas Sweets as mild, sweet cigars.(http://www.finckcigarcompany.com/finck/b.. what else is available in USA ?? any links with prices wd be greatly appreciated.

b) Is there any cigarettes or cigar or pipe powder available thats made of pure clove?? I have heard that cigarettes like Gudang Garam are 60% tobacco & 40 % Clove.

All answersd wd be appreciated....have a great day.


Answer
Aby,

Don't know if you realize it, but Finck Cigar Company is my company. Our Texas Sweets are made with Indonesian wrapper, Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a very mild blend of Nicaraguan and Indonesian filler. They are mild, lightly sweet and have rum flavoring on the tobacco that gives them a little extra taste and aroma. Our most popular flavored cigars, I think you'd like them.

There aren't many other sweet cigars made with 100% natural tobacco available, but there are lots of good flavored cigars: Helix Amaretto, Helix Cafe Mocha, Tatiana, Havana Honey and Cojimar are all good quality, mild to medium bodied cigars. They are available in a variety of flavors, but none of them are just sweet.

As far as the clove question goes, this is outside of my area. I don't know of any clove cigars, and if a cigarette was made with 100% clove it wouldn't be a cigarette, because by definition a cigarette is made with tobacco. I don't know of any smoking product made with 100% clove.

Hope this helps.

Bill
