Honey flavor

[Geo17pip]

I've been drinking alot of tea lately with honey Mmm... I never really came across a cigar that delivered honey flavors. I heard that Cohiba has hints of honey and grass, but i dont buy Cohiba due to their high prices... im just a college student! lol. What other brands out there have you guys experienced that have honey flavors?

open ur wallet GEO and stop being cheap! lol

I've tasted honey, or what I call honey sweetness, in a number of cigars. The Cohiba robusto is one, but I think the first that comes to mind for

me would be the Vegas Robaina Unicos. But in any of the cases it's usually never a thick syrupy sweetness, but more the sensation of dried

honey - think more along the lines of the crystalized stuff on the neck of the half full honey jar - not a dominant taste, but a complimentary

component. And yes, I realize this doesn't really help all that much

I agree with Ross on the essence of the flavor, I can't say I've had a cigar dripping in honey. The best examples for me are the Siglo III's with at least 5 years of age. Other cigars have that slight cloying sweetness that could be picked up as honey but I instead get more of a sugarcane sweetness... Now if I could only find some damn ERDM GDE's.

I have a box of La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or no. 1 from 2002 that are absolutely loaded with honey. Other than that, I think Cohibas and the odd Punch and Vegas Robaina are the only cigars I've smoked that have had a good amount of honey flavor.

the prices of cohiba are a problem but that is where i find most honey. off the top of head, the 2000 cohiba robusto's were the ones that positively dripped honey. amazing smokes.

not that that helps.

For those on a budget, try some Por Larrañaga Monte Carlo's, I have found both honey and caramel in them. Smoke them slowly as they are a thin ring cigar, but very tasty and enjoyable.

2003 Sir Winston full of honey, PLPC, Cohiba Robusto, LGC

[samb]

Tahitiana Honey

[Bartolomeo]

LGC Gloriosos and PLPC come to mind for me for a start

My 2002 La Gloria Cubana Medaille D'Or No. 1s are very honey-flavored. It's blatant, too - you just think, "Hmm, honey-dipped."

[Geo17pip]

Thanks guys! I do have a box of 2002 La Gloria Cubana Medaille D'Or No. 1s that i havent smoked from in a long time. Looks like i might just smoke one for Christmas. Merry Christmas!

[stargazer14]

Oh, this was an easy one. And they fit in a college students budget!

[jquest63]

Off the top of my head the PLPC, VR Classico and Cohiba Robusto have exhibited honey flavors.

[MPS]

Try an older Sancho Panza Sanchos.

A well-aged Cohiba Lancero

Though I've only smoked two so far, I agree with Bart--the RE Gloriosos really gave a taste of honey throughout, more than the normal LGC lineup.

[BobbyRitz]

For me, the Quai D'Orsay coronas from '01 that were extremely popular (and fairly inexpensive) a few years ago provide a honey sweetness throughout.

[Geo17pip]

Oh, this was an easy one. And they fit in a college students budget!

I meant to say i never had one of these lol

[Geo17pip]

So i ended up smoking one of my 2002 La Gloria Cubana Medaille D'Or No. 1 by the fire side. Great smoke, i did get some sweetness in the first third, maybe honey/sugarcane. Half way through the cigar got stronger with hints of coffee, leather, and wood. The last third was just straight up cuban tobacco flavor with a floral/perfume background. I really think this cigar needs more time, it was a bit rough around the edges after the half way point, a great cigar though none of the less. Ill revisit in a year, good thing i have 14 left! Merry Christmas!

I agree with the LGC MdO 1 for honey. I have also gotten sugarcane from RA 898, and brown sugar and molasses from SCdLH La Fuerza.

Another vote for Por Larrañaga Montecarlo's

One dimensional, but a very enjoyable 40-50 minute smoke.

[MIKA27]

Try a San Cristobal La Punta. Whilst it has a slight hint of 'honey' its chock full of rich sweet molasses.
