Flavored VS non flavored.

Some flavored / infused cigars do use artificial flavors, some do not, I would only call those artificial when they are flavored with such.

I don't know the Juan y Ramon line, but in looking it up, it is listed as a mild cigar. If you are searching for a more intense cigar without added flavors, I would recommend looking for stronger cigars, those described as "medium-full" to "full".

For a starting point that might help with suggestions, stating what cigars are you currently enjoying and what their flavor profiles are like might be of assistance.

An inexpensive stick I've been enjoying lately is Baccarat, The Game. You can find fivers at Famous for around $20 or less. They have lightly sweetened caps but the tobacco is non-flavored and I think they're tasty. Also, you can't go too far wrong with Arturo Fuente.

Also, welcome aboard!

Do you prefer Maduro or regular? For the Baccarats. They look great and have great reviews. Also, are all Arturo Fuentes sweet tipped?

Fuentes are not flavored or sweet tipped. Any Drew Estate infused cigar is the best choice. Acid, Larutan aka Natural, and the Tabak. Drew Estate has these smokes dialed in and they're amazing. I prefer the Larutan English, but all the Larutans are incredible. Most of Drew Estates infused cigars are sweet tipped and top shelf quality(IMO). Enjoy!

...and the Drew Estate Java's essential flavored smokes. The Java Mint is my fav, but the Latte, Maduro, and Red are excellent as well.

Yea I realized that I'm a huge fan of Drew Estate, like most people who like their cigars. It is one of the most popular brands of cigars after all. My next purchase was gonna be Tabak's and Acid Blondies But I'm gonna get some Liga Undercrowns instead of the Tabaks. I already own a Few Kuba Kubas, Natural(Larutan) Dirts, Subcultures, Blondie Maduro and a few others. Drew Estate does magic with their cigars.

If you're picking up some Undercrowns, the Corona Viva is by far the tastiest size IMNSHO. It's one of those smokes that I always have on hand; they're just a damned good smoke.

I agree with James, easily the tastiest of the Undercrowns for my money.

Well I started with what a LOT of people started with. ACID cigars. I had my wife buy me some C Note cigarellos from them and they were great, stepped up to the Blondies and the Blondie Moduro... I had an amazing time smoking the regular Blondie and I like the Maduro a lot as well too.

I appreciate the welcoming. I'm already going to put them into my wish list. I suspect that it's ok if the tobacco isn't sweetened it's alright as I do like the notes that some tobacco brings, as long as it isn't garbage lol.

IIRC, aren't the Blondies a more full bodied ("stronger") cigar?

And, FWIW, there is nothing artificial in ACID cigars, all the flavors are infused from natural oils - kind of like aromatherapy, but with rooms full of hanging tobacco leaves.

I don't recall any Fuente cigars having sweetened tips, I think that Darren was just offering a suggestion for a company that produces quality cigars regardless of the price point, unlike some manufacturers where their low cost cigars can be just dumping grounds.

Well I looked up the Blondies and they say they are medium strength. They were an amazing smoke for me. Yea I haven't had the experience of a good non flavored cigar. Kinda scared to even try one now after the experience I had with the Cheapo Pure Meyhems, but you get what you pay for! I will keep those Arturo Fuentes in mind though after I get my order of Juan Y Ramons to see how I like those. Those Baccarats are a must for me though.
