So I am slowly converting my whole family to vaping, and everyone is really enjoying it. Cutting down their cigarette habit down a lot more and more everyday. My Dad however never smoke cigarettes, but smokes real cigars. Rocky Patel, Hoyo, Cohiba, etc. very strong full bodied cigars.

He has puffed and played with lots of our flavors and says he can absolutely smell the vapes, but tastes nothing. Most of our juices are 50/50 mix. But I would love to get some cigar juices for him to try. I've personally tried chasing the cigarette flavor and couldn't find it close enough so I gave up and found my desert flavor that I enjoy.

Where would you guys recommend me to go to get some good strong cigar ejuice? We live in the Dallas/Fort Worth Texas area and there are plenty of vapes stores near by, but the few he has sampled just does absolutely nothing for him.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm a cigar smoker... turned to eCigs to cut down on my 2+ a day habit. While I still have one or two a week, it's a drastic improvement over where I was a few weeks ago…

I smoke similar sticks as your Dad (specifically Illusione, Tatuaje, Viaje, Padron, etc) but I havent found anything that truly tastes like one of those high end Cigars. I've had juice that taste like pipe tobacco and others that taste like flavored cigars, but at the end of the day it's a different nicotine delivery experience altogether so I wouldn't try to push it as cigar replacement, but instead as a healthier nicotine alternative.

As far as flavor, the one that satisfies me most (coming from full body cigars) is Smokeless Image's Desert Joe.

The juice I use that closely resembles a cigar to me is Johnson Creek's Silverthorn. It's not sweet at all but not bitter, very smooth. The odor from this juice also lingers around but to me it smells great, like walking into the old Tinder Box tobacco shops at the mall. Of course taste is very subjective and his mileage may vary. Good luck! :toast:

    It will take a while for your dads taste buds to recover from cigar use, so it's no surprise that he can't taste the juice. And, I would also point out that it's impossible to duplicate the taste of burning tobacco without burning it. However many good tobaccos contain flavor enhancers, and those are easy to duplicate with the e-cig. So many heavy pipe and cigar smokers find that they like apple, hazelnut, and peach type flavors at first.

    Just received my first Johnson Creek order today. Been vaping for just two weeks and tried many flavors but this SILVERTHORN is outstanding. A very traditional Turkish tobacco with consistent hint of Virginia. My favorite 7 leaves and Desert Gold remain favorites but no where as aromatic and burly as this! VG based. Solid throat hit. Thrilled with this one!

    Well I just discovered this thread, and I used to smoke cigars, and I am still looking for a good cigar taste also. I have been vapeing a juice from Indy vaper shop called cigar, and I do like it, but looking for something better. I think its made by hangsen for them. I also tried Ec blend's cuban cigar, I do like it but a cigar flavor? I don't think so, Its just not right. I haven't tried anything from, virgin vaper, or any of Dekang's juices I would like to try the Cohiba, because I used to smoke the Garcia y Vega cigars. I am also interested in the JC's Silverhorn, and all the ones from Want2vape. I have seen those cagaralike's online but not seen a review b-4 (Thanks) I have tried halo's captan jack and the longhorn, I didn't like them. There are a couple others, mentioned here as well, that I haven't heard of. I am very interested, I have not had a cigar sense, mid april.

    I used to smoke Garcia's, too. I'm a fan of the Cohiba juice, but I can't find it anywhere in quantities greater than 10ml, and the last 10ml bottle I had lasted all of four days. If anybody has seen that juice in a 30ml bottle, I'd appreciate a link!
