O Ye of Little Taste: Mango Cigars and More
Cigar Jack points out a Forbes article that explores how teenagers are turning to cigar smoking in record numbers, and decries the consequent health risks.
Putting aside the issue of how dangerous to your health proper cigar smoking is, since I’ve covered that recently in another article, we ought to turn to the issue of whether what today’s teens are smoking are really cigars. As Jack puts it:
“A new name needs to be thought up for those
cigarscanine fecal matter sticks sold at gas stations. I’ve smoked ACID and CAO Flavors and I’ve yet to come across grape flavored premium cigars. Did I just say premium flavored cigars. heh… This was another sign they were discussing that cheap gas station crap.”
You know, despite those harsh words, perhaps there is something to this flavored cigar thing that I’ve overlooked. In the interest of reaching out to a new generation of cigar aficionados, perhaps I ought to expand the review section here at Cigar Envy to include the cigars that this younger generation knows and loves. Why just focus on those crusty old standbys like Partagas, Romeo y Julieta, Punch, Davidoff, Arturo Fuente and the like? You have to move with the times, change or be left behind.
So don’t be surprised if you see a full-blown review here soon of a White Owl Wild Apple or a Philly Blunt Mango.
(…blogger…journalist…media whore…decisions, decisions.)
In the meantime, while I struggle with career issues, check out Cigar Jack’s comments.

That’s not even funny to joke about… How could you call yourself a cigar smoker after lighting up a Banana Flavored Cigar?

You will note that at no time did I mention Banana.
You have to draw the line somewhere.
There is also no truth to the rumor that CAO will be adding Grape Explosion to their Flavored line next spring…
