Cigars with Creamy Tasting Notes

Who doesn’t love relaxing with a smooth and creamy cigar? Cream is one of the most common tasting notes found in cigars, and it’s something that newcomers and seasoned smokers alike value. If you love a rich and luxurious smoke, then you’re in for a treat with any of these five industry standards:

Punch Golden Era

Sometimes, looks can be deceiving. This is not the case, however, with Punch Golden Era. This silky-smooth cigar is as delicious as it appears. Golden Era boasts a blend defined by golden Corojo tobacco from the acclaimed Eiroa Farm in Honduras, and it offers a satisfyingly earthy and creamy smoking experience perfect for any occasion. 

Cohiba Red Dot

Cohiba’s flagship cigar, Red Dot, has a nuanced and sophisticated flavor profile. Unlike “traditional” light and creamy cigars, Red Dot delivers substantial hints of nuts and caramel above a creamy, velvety mouthfeel. If you usually prefer Connecticut Shade cigars but want to experiment with a darker blend, give the Cameroon-wrapped Red Dot a shot at your next smoke session. 

Perdomo Champagne 10th Anniversary

Few smokes are as famous and beloved as the Perdomo Champagne 10th Anniversary. With its butterscotch-hued Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade Wrapper and its intricate flavor profile of honey and cream, this cigar is among the finest in the mellow-to-medium-bodied category. 

El Rey del Mundo Oscuro

Connecticut Broadleaf-wrapped cigars are not typically associated with creamy flavor profiles, but the El Rey del Mundo Oscuro breaks the mold in more ways than one. Named to Cigar Aficionado’s Best Buy List for 2023, Oscuro produces notes of pepper, chocolate, and cream within a surprisingly complex flavor profile. 

Davidoff Grand Cru

Davidoff Grand Cru is an excellent cigar for a special occasion — particularly if you enjoy lighter cigars with pronounced creamy notes. Add this elegant option to your rotation; you won’t be disappointed.
