【Cigar Flavor Series】Walking on Clouds: A Complete Guide to "Sweet" Flavors in Non-Cuban Cigars
Foreword: The Art of Sweetness—Who is it for?
In the 70CIGARS flavor wheel, "Sweet" is a vast and enchanting territory. The sweetness found in cigars isn't from artificial additives; rather, it is a miracle of nature where high-quality tobacco leaves, grown in rich soil and aged for years, naturally convert plant proteins into sugars.
Sweet-profile cigars are perfect for beginners because they help balance the intensity of the tobacco, making the experience more approachable. They are also a top choice for seasoned aficionados as a "dessert" smoke after dinner. These notes can manifest as light honey, rich toffee, or fragrant vanilla.
