Not that I've heard of. I'll check my locals and see what they have them listed for.

Also, are these an infused/flavored cigar? Never had one before, so just curious what these are like.
Not something I would go out and buy, but just curious what the characteristics are like.

I have been wanting to try these just haven't had the chance, considering I love the whiskey. These are Maker's Mark whiskey infused cigars. As for the actual flavor profile I have no clue.

Description: Maker's Mark cigars combine two of man's greatest pleasures: Great bourbon and cigars. Subtle bourbon seasoning enhances these luxurious, mild to medium-bodied cigars handmade in The Dominican Republic with premium Cuban seed longfiller tobaccos and top-grade Sumatra wrappers. The result is an exquisite, well-balanced and aromatic smoke laced with the essence of Maker's Mark bourbon. Each cigar is hermetically sealed in a glass tube and hand-dipped in wax. A very different kind of cigar. Salud!
$8.00 a piece for these are not a bad price.
The only infused that I like and have had over and over is the Gurkha Grand Reserve (Natural premium cigars laced with Remy Martin ($1,200 a bottle) Louis XIII cognac.)
That's a yummy for me.

I like Maker's Mark and cigars separately, but not so sure if I would like both combined.

While not a big fan of infused cigars, Maker's Mark is one of the better ones, IMHO. They seem to have good tobacco quality and construction, and the bourbon flavor is pretty subtle.

I got a free sample from some site (don't remember where) when they started selling them 6 or more months ago. I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the tobacco or the construction, so I wonder if the consistency is off. I do agree that the flavor is subtle, but the one that I had had a damaged foot before I even took it out of the glass tube, the draw was really tight, and I had it split and unravel on me while I smoked it. This one was corona size, the larger ones might be better off.

Possibly they were stored long term with no humidification? I think some poeple think that since they are in tubes, they will be fine with none for years.
The ones I smoked were years and years ago, so certainly the quality could have gone south over the years.

You looking for a box of these? Atlantic Cigar has the 650's for 148 a box.
They're right under 6 bucks a cigar. Not sure why their singles are more expensive. Maybe they're trying to sell what's left, I dunno.

I've ordered from Atlantic Cigar before, never had a problem.

Don't know, they were stored with humidification from the time I received them. The retailer had just started carrying them too, so I don't think they sat too long there. This was within the last year, so I think they were fairly new stock, unless the manufacturer was cleaning out their warehouse.

Sorry for my delay, I was out of town for about 10 days, and came back to classes. But I did smoke one at my cabin. Delicious.
The taste it left on your lips was kind of sweet, I cant really tell if it was infused or not. But it was a little on medium to heavy side, but very smooth. I had to cut it as a punch didn't seem to open it enough but once I got the draw right it was awesome.
It was too long ago for me to write any better of a review, but for $5.94 a stick I say buy a few to try, and you make your own call.

I personally am not a fan of the infused cigars, but I agree with most on the thread. This is one damn fine cigar. I bought a box a few years back and smoked them all within a few weeks.... Now I want more since we are talking about them...
