I agree with Glacierman. You can’t go into the Natural line expecting it to be a regular cigar. They are made primarily with tobaccos used for pipe smokers. With this in mind, and if you like pipe tobacco you will enjoy the Naturals.

If you are looking for a Fuente or Liga forget it, they are not suppose to be that. They are an alternative smoke. I remember way back when John T’s used to make cigars from pipe tobacco. I enjoyed them but they smoked like crap. The Naturals are far superior. A quality cigar giving you the different nuances you taste with pipe tobaccos and providing an almost incense like aroma. Very relaxing and great for a change of pace.

I’ve been smoking cigars for over 20 years and have tried them all. To me a bad cigar is one that can’t draw or burns like crap. Otherwise it’s just a matter of the flavor not being to your liking. While I smoke predominently Pepins (my favorite being the Cuban Classic – Black label), I do enjoy these as a change of pace and don’t have to resort to bashing them or the maker because they don’t conform to the cigar snob standards.

Though this blend was not a favorite of mine it was not a horrible one either—–that said I would rather take the money spent on this and pickup a pig for instance. I also thought this was an infused cigar and would have sent it to someone that would have enjoyed it better.

Again, not a bad cigar but not my cup of joe!

To all the purists that complain about sweetened tip. If you do some research you may find out that sweetened tip was used in some pre embargo brands of Cuban cigars. Would that make them suck?

Its interesting that I watched this review this morning after stomping on one Dirt Torp, and shipping back the other four of the 5 sampler I just got yesterday! How they can call this a cigar is beyond me…Of course, this is the Natural Dirt Torpedo, and not the Clean, but it must be a very specific reason they call it DIRT! (I have another 4-letter word that better suits it…) The sweet cap was like sweetened vinegar, and the tobacco was harsh and tasteless…horrible. I like an occasional naturally sweet flavored cigar, and one of my favorite day-in-day-out is the AF Curlyhead Deluxe maduro, and my favorite 2 premiums are the AF Hem Sig and the AF Anejo which both have a naturally sweet quality, but these infused and flavored concoctions merely mean sweet; no coffee, mocha, expresso, chocolate, or anything else actually goes into em, just artificial flavors and sweetness…just my 2 cent rant…btw…whats your favorite naturally sweet cigars?

I was open minded, considering DE is so intent on touting these things as non-flavored… but seriously folks, this thing reminded me of something a 12 year old would sneak out of 7-11 with. Plenty of sugary corn syrupy goodness to satisfy the sweet tooth in every child…

Exotic tobaccos from around the world? I guess there is a reason why Latin America/Cuba has a monopoly on this shit.

If you don’t like the taste of real cigars, nobody is putting a gun to your head. Get another hobby. Stop posing with this godawful candy cane hanging from your mouth.

This natural cigar tastes like incense it reminds me of the blondie I bought when I didn’t know better. I asked the clerk if this was a flavored cigar and he said no. To me it tastes like a very smooth flavored phillie blunt. And tastes flavored. Misleading to say the least.
