The Upsetters Django is artificially flavored, and those flavors virtually overwhelm the taste of the tobacco. Right from the start, the taste was very sweet along with various doses of clove, herbal, floral, botanical, and spicy flavors. My wife thought that the aroma smelled like perfume. The taste was completely different from any cigar that I have ever smoked, which is not necessarily a good thing. I smoked the cigar for several minutes before deciding to pair it with some Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum. The spice in the rum complimented the smoke very well, but the Django cigar would probably also go pretty good with Bombay Sapphire Gin, which is infused with a variety of botanicals.
