    From what I understand, sugars are created in the leaf during fermentation. That would suggest to me that the double-fermented maduro wrappers would tend to taste sweeter. My tongue would agree in most cases, but those Cameroons are also quite sweet. . . Montecristo Media Noche

    I thought the Nording was sweet. I know you don't like RP stuff, but it might be worth a shot.

    this post is pretty much what i was gunna say.

    a few people i know feel that cameroon cigars are sweeter than maduros but i think that maduros are.
    those were the wrappers i would have suggested.

    It's weird cause I rarely get sweetness out of maduros...
    As a mater of fact the Azteca is the only one I ever remember getting sweetness out of.

    I suspect a southerner and west coast citizen would argue about what "sweet tea" means. You better pucker up if you order sweet things in South Carolina.

    I just tried a Vegas 5 "A" that IMHO was very sweet. I had spiced rum with it, so it might be enhanced by that. I thought it was a interesting smoke.
    If you can't shoot it, cut it.
    If you can't reason with it, blow it up.
    If you can't cut it, bulgin it to death with a big F-ing rock.
    And if all else fails, have a seat and light up a good smoke, cause it's the end of the world!

    the sweetness of a maduro is a bit more subtle. i compare it to the sweetness of a carrot (maduro) vs the sweetness of a peach (cameroon)
    not to say they taste like it but the comparison is in how much the sweetness is in your face.

    Try the Origen line by J. Fuego. I find that they have a distinct sweetness to them. I love them after dinner as a nice complement to a savory meal.

    What about the CAO CX2 or Gurkha Royal Brigade? Those are two I tend to keep on hand, and I normally go for one of those when I have a cigar sweet tooth. I know you said no infused sticks, but the Natural line from Drew Estate aren't infused. Have you tried any of those? If you want to give it a shot, try out the Irish Hops, Dirt Torpedo, or Pimp Stick.

    I've been on the lookout for some of the CX2.
    And the Dirt Torpedo and the Pimp stick are the mix up in my routine.
    both those sticks have some interesting flavors.

    They definitely do. I also dig the Juicy Lucy, it is probably the sweetest offering from the Natural line, but its so small. And for the CX2's, PM incoming.

    I tend to think sun growns are more sweet than others. You should check out some of the Perdomo lines and try some of their sungrowns and see what you think. I dig em :-P

    I have definitely found that both the natural and maduro versions of the Padron '64 are pretty sweet and nutty, the maduro more so than the natural, but there are nice differences between the two. I would recommend the Imperial size in both. :)


    I'd be content if Padron 64's were the last cigars on Earth.

    If you want truly sweet, more so than anything mentioned here by 4x, then hit up www.tampacigars.com - they taste like they were dipped in sugar - no exhaguration!
