Baccarat Cigar

The Baccarat cigar has been one of America's best selling premium cigar trademarks and furthermore has a long history in the cigar world. While the Baccarat Cigar is nothing like any other premium cigar found these days, the Baccarat Cigar reminds you more of an older cigar institution created in a long-gone era.

This Baccarat cigar tradition is to apply sweet gum on the cap's finish. This method was very prominent throughout the 1st half of the 20th century.

As you know, the adding of sweetness to a Baccarat cigar, takes the flavor to a whole new level, since the toasty scent from the Baccarat cigar is taking over the palate and the sweetness from the wrapper finishes on your lips.

Cigar users who favor a milder cigar with a sweet and swift ending have made the Baccarat cigar an everyday choice. The sweet cap takes the brawny edge off the taste that a lot of cigar smokers get when they first light a cigar.

The sweetness of the Baccarat cigar then goes on more and more delicately during the rest of the Baccarat. Overall is the Baccarat cigar mild, smooth, and pleasing.
