Tobaccos?

Having smoked cigars now for 5-6 years I ahve come to realiz I like the medium, medium to full flavored smokes. I lean toward the nut and caramel flavor profile. So which tobaccos give these flavors. Also is this flavor more prominent in DR, Hon, or Nic cigars. It seems to me to show up more often in Honduran cigars. Also Sego, Viso and Ligero tobaccos produce flavor what in a cigar? I know mixing and climate, soil and so on affect how a tobacco will taste. I guess I'm just wondering what tobacco produces what flavor? Thanks

I think the flavors you seek are more commonly honduran and maybe cuban and sometimes nicaraguan. I think of the DR flavor as "creamy" or "toffee". I thought the 'where on the plant" impacted the strength and body. Some of the flavor you talk about might also be more sungrown flavor. This is not my area of great expertise...

I agree with GTRX on the toffee = DR. I relate the Criollo with more of a nutty flavor.
