I ended up buying Henri Winterman's Cafe Creme Oriental Aroma cigarillos (what a freaking name) the other week.
I opened them up upon receiving to an extremely strong aroma of macaroon cookies. After cleaning up I was having thoughts that were a little less than positive... you see, the Acid cigars I've gotten which were super fragrant were awful! I wasn't expecting these to be flavoured, at least not this much... That said, they smelled delicious...
I pulled one out that night and lit it up, to find no flavouring on the wrapper whatsoever. I then pulled one out and cut it up and tasted the tobacco on the inside (I'm weird, deal with it) which was also untreated. I tried doing some research, most of which came up useless, however on the Henri Winterman's site they list Asian Aromatic tobaccos as a ingredient.

The Café Crème Oriental Aroma is an aromatic small cigar made from tobaccos from the Far East, Africa and Brazil, wrapped in a blond Ecuador leaf.

So I'm assuming the scent and unique flavor came from those far Eastern aromatic additions to the blend which leaves me with two questions:
1) Are there any other cigars out there with Asian aromatics in the blend?
2) Is there anywhere to order the rest of the smokes by Henri Winterman's? They all sound fantastic - and I'd really like to give the Chambord line a try (if you've had Chambord you know why)!
