Short answer: we carry five flavored and infused lines online — Drew Estate's ACID and Deadwood, Java by Rocky Patel, Tatiana, and CAO Flavours — plus Havana Honeys and Al Capone tins. Most lines come as singles, 5-packs and boxes, and several come in tins of ten. Everything below is on the Flavored & Infused Cigars page.
Infused or flavored: what the words mean
The two terms get used loosely. In general use, an infused cigar has had its tobacco exposed to aromatics — herbs, botanicals, coffee, spirits — while it cures or ages, so the character is in the leaf itself. A flavored cigar carries the taste on the cap or the wrapper, which is why the sweetness shows up on the lips first. Drew Estate describes its ACID process only as "proprietary curing and blending methods"; the exact recipes are not published by any of the makers below, so we stick to what each line tastes like and how it is sold.
ACID by Drew Estate
Drew Estate says ACID was "born in 1996 from two New Yorkers determined to challenge the status quo." The aroma is herbal and floral rather than sweet, which is why regulars either love it or leave it. What we carry:
- Kuba Kuba, plus Kuba Kuba Maduro, Kuba Grande and the tubed Kuba Deluxe
- Blondie in Gold, Maduro, Belicoso and Candela Green — the smallest and least expensive ACID
- 1400cc, Toast, Cold Infusion, Deep Dish, Extra Ordinary Larry and ACID 20 in Connecticut and Maduro
- Small formats: C-Notes (a five-cigar pack), Croqueta tubes, and the Krush Classic tins in Blue, Gold, Morado and Red
Full list on the ACID page; the longer brand write-up is here.
Java by Rocky Patel
Rocky Patel describes Java Latte as coffee-infused, built on Nicaraguan tobaccos under a Connecticut wrapper. We stock four Java blends in the same sizes — Petite Corona, Corona, Robusto, Toro and The 58:
- Java Latte — the original coffee-and-cream profile
- Java Maduro — the same idea under a maduro wrapper
- Java Mint — coffee with mint
- Java Red
Each size is sold by the single, with 5-packs and boxes of 24 (40 for the Petite Corona). The 4-cigar sampler covers all four blends, and the X-press tins are the pocket size.
Deadwood by Drew Estate
Drew Estate's Deadwood line is named for the women of Deadwood, South Dakota, and it is the deepest flavored stock in our humidor. The sweetness is gentler than ACID and the cigars are built like a traditional smoke — robustos, toros, torpedoes and a box-pressed toro:
- Sweet Jane Corona and Sweet Jane tin
- Fat Bottom Betty in Robusto, Toro and Gordito
- Crazy Alice pyramid
- Leather Rose Torpedo and Petite Corona — the Petite Corona is the shorter smoke
- The Girl With No Name Lonsdale
- Día de los Muertos box-pressed Toro
- Deadwood Dominicana in Pequeña, Robusto, Toro and Gordo, plus the Buenas Noches versions
Every Deadwood cigar sells by the single, the 5-pack and the box. The full line is on the Deadwood page.
Tatiana
Tatiana is the sweet, short-smoke choice and the least expensive line on this page: 6 x 44 Coronas and Robustos, both by the single, 5-pack and box of 25. Flavors we carry: Cherry, Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Vanilla, Classic Rum, Cognac, Groovy Blue, Fusion Frenzy and Waking Dream. The mini tins of ten come in Cherry, Honey, Rum, Vanilla and Groovy Blue. See the Tatiana page.
CAO Flavours
CAO's flavored range comes to us two ways: tubos in Moontrance and Bella Vanilla (single, 5-pack or box of 20), and cigarillo tins of ten in Gold Honey, Bella Vanilla, Cherrybomb, Moontrance and Eileen's Dream. The 4-pack sampler is the way to try the range. See the CAO Flavours page.
Tins and small cigars
If you want a ten-minute smoke rather than an hour, the tins are the answer: Tatiana minis, CAO cigarillos, ACID Krush, Java X-press, Deadwood Sweet Jane, Havana Honeys tins (three varieties) and Al Capone Sweets Cognac. They are all on the tins and cigarillos page.
How to choose
Coffee drinkers start with Java Latte. If you want sweet and short at the lowest price, Tatiana or a CAO tin. If you want something aromatic and unusual, ACID Kuba Kuba is the one to judge the whole category by. Deadwood is the middle ground for anyone who normally smokes traditional cigars and wants a sweeter finish without a change of pace. When in doubt, the Java sampler and the CAO sampler are the least expensive ways to find out.
Storing them
Keep infused cigars in their own humidor or a sealed bag inside it. The aromatics travel, and a Kuba Kuba stored next to a Padrón will leave its mark on the Padrón. The storage guide covers humidity; the separation rule is the only extra step these cigars need.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between ACID and Deadwood?
Both are Drew Estate lines. ACID is herbal and floral and announces itself from the first draw; Deadwood is the sweeter, more traditional-tasting of the two and is rolled in classic sizes.
Which flavored cigar is the sweetest?
Tatiana and the CAO Flavours tins are the sweetest and shortest smokes we carry. ACID Blondie is the smallest of the ACID line.
Do you sell flavored cigars by the box?
Yes. ACID, Java, Deadwood, Tatiana and the CAO tubos all come by the box (10 to 40 depending on the cigar); tins are sold as tins.
Can I smoke a Java with coffee?
That is what it was built for — Rocky Patel calls it "the perfect companion to a rich cup of joe." It also holds up next to a bourbon; see the pairing guide.
