Collection: Soft Cigars

For established smokers, the tactile feel of the cigarette can often contribute to the experience. This is why some electronic cigar manufacturers are trying to duplicate as much as they can the tactile components of the combustible cigarette.

In mimicking the feel and texture of conventional cigarettes, e-cigar manufacturers are creating spongy and soft-tip e-cigars that feel "papery". For instance, Veppo advertises its e-cigar as “fully paper wrapped with a soft tip for chewability.” The brand “Smoke in Style” advertises its product as having a “soft nozzle.” Many of the ads for this brand contain a close-up of fingers squishing a soft tip.

At present, e-cigars don't have the same feel or weight or fragrance of a conventional cigarette. However, manufacturers are working hard to replicate the feel and taste of the traditional product to make the vapor producing device all the more appealing to established smokers.
