Re: CC's or NC's?

Re: CC's or NC's?
This is a great analogy. CCs are something you have to baby. I always chuckle when I read reviewers complaining about having a single purge, a touch up or a re-light, or having to re-clip the end...

Re: Are these fake??
This would not surprise me in the least. If that's the only source you have, I would stick to unpopular vitolas in the lesser known marcas (the less likely to be counterfeited) and then scrutinize...

Re: Are these fake??
I personally wouldn't buy a Cohiba EL 2003 DC anywhere but a reputable, licensed habanos dealer like an LCDH. It is quite possibly the most frequently faked cuban cigar, and the likelihood that you...

Re: What If We Lost Pepin?
I don't know enough insider info on how much of his art he's passed on, but Pepin is truly the single most influencial and important person in the NC cigar industry today. His death would mirror the...

Re: CC's or NC's?
Technically, I believe this is incorrect. As far as I understand the trading with the enemy laws, it is illegal for an American citizen to purchase and smoke a Cuban cigar, whether it is in France,...

Re: CC's or NC's?
I don't get the sour-apple Honduran funk or the cloying, metallic Dominican twinge from CCs.

But seriously, the rich chocolate/coffee you get in spades in the Padron Anniversaries is rare and...

Re: CC's or NC's?
I think it's because to CC smokers, the vast majority of NC mild and medium smokes simply don't hold a candle to CCs in terms of complexity and range of flavors. There is NO NC that comes anywhere...

Re: CC's or NC's?

Re: The Word Puro w/Poll
I like my cakes to have ingredients from only one nation of origin. Does that mean I'm eating a puro?
