Nicaragua Vs. Dominican...

As I continue smoking, I find that my taste preferences have been moving away from Dominicans and towards Nicaraguan cigars. It's probably a personal preference thing, but I'm curious as to which way you guys lean.

Nicaragua -- Oliva, Illusione, Tatuaje, Pepin Garcia etc.

I'm split evenly between Nic and Hondurans. I'm one of the few Camacho lovers out there.

There are examples of both that I enjoy very much.

Nic - Padrons, Avalon Red Label Jukes, Pepins
Dom - LFDs, Kelner blends.

Re: Nicaragua Vs. Dominican...

I love Nicaraguan tobacco as well, whether it be in the filler, binder, wrapper or puros of course... with that said, I love full bodied Dominican puros as well.

My favorite NCs are made by Fuente (Dominican), but I like the Pepin lines very much. The Padrons make some great cigars too, so it really makes for a difficult choice for me amongst the two.

You need to come hang out with the BABOTL's, you'll feel right at home. A couple of us are Camacho whores.

I still enjoy a fine Dominican though.

Nicaragua for me, too, then Honduras. But like so many others, I definitely enjoy my Fuentes and Auroras and other full flavored Dominicans.

Nic and Dom are both good friends... I cant pick one over the other!

I have a few favorites from the Dominican (Partagas, La Aurora, La Flor, Fuente) but it's definitely a landslide victory for Nicaragua without a doubt.

Re: Nicaragua Vs. Dominican...

I'd say probably about 95% of the NCs I smoke are Nicaraguan. I actually had a Dominican yesterday(LGC Reserve Fig) and enjoyed it quite a bit, just not as much as I enjoy a good Nicaraguan.

Re: Nicaragua Vs. Dominican...

I am probably 90% Nicaraguan lately, with the other 10% being Fuentes. Preferring the stronger, spicier stuff I guess.

Flight Attendant: More anything?
Jerry: More everything!

Why choose one or the other. Love Tatuaje, but also really enjoy the full-flavored Fuentes. Variety is the winner.

I love Nic smokes like DPG and JdN but I also enjoy LFD double ligero and Fuente's stuff. I'd give the edge to Nicaragua.

Re: Nicaragua Vs. Dominican...

I prefer Honduran and Nicaraguan cigars. Many dominicans seem to have a bitter finish, especially if you try to nub them, and I've never been fond of that.

I prefer a Nicaraguan smoke over a Dominican, however, ever so often I look for a old favorite, but less frequent in recent times. :lv

Mostly Nicaraguan, but some Dominican. Favorites are the Oliva's. :)

Precisely. My three favorite NC lines.

I wasn't exactly sure, so I decided to do a check. Went to CI and looked over my favorites. Apparently, I'm a Nic guy.

I tend to prefer the overall profile from Nicaragua and on occasion, such as yesterday, I grab a Dominican.
