Question
Hello and thank you for taking the time to answer our question.  My girlfriend recently expressed an interest in sharing the cigar experience with me.  She's expressed an interest in something that has both a sweet taste and aroma.  I am in hopes you can make some suggestions.  Thanks so much!

Answer
Austin,
Sounds like you've got a great girlfriend - lets find her something she'll enjoy so that you can share many cigar smoking experiences. There are lots of flavored cigars on the market, but I think many of them of made with poor quality tobacco that they manufacturers try to cover up with lots of flavorings. Lets stay away from these to start with. There is a brand on the market made by Rocky Patel called Java that I think is a pretty good smoke. They can be hard to find, but are well worth seeking out. General Cigar Company makes one called Kahlua that is also a pretty good smoke. There is a brand called Helix Remix Amaretto and a new one on the way called Helix Cafe Mocha - try them if you can find them. Last, we make a very inexpensive, all tobacco machine made cigar called Texas Sweets. They are mild, lightly sweet and easy to smoke. If you don't find these at your local tobacconist you can order them from us on line at www.finckcigar.com  Let me know if you have any questions.
