FWIW, hand me a Cabaiguan Guopos anytime over a black. Heck, the havana line of Tats is far better IMO.
Oh, and I don't judge a NC cigar by how cuban it tastes. Far from it. I had just noted a lot of people saying they blacks taste cuban and for the life of me think it is one of the farthest from cuban tastes I've experienced.
It's pretty well known I'm still securely on the NC bandwagon (although I do enjoy the dark side as well).  |
Your not alone brotha! I have smoked a few Blacks and just never got that WOW factor out of them and I love me some Tats. If you put a Black and an East coast on the table and told me to pick one, I'm leaving the Black on the table. I have two more that I am letting rest to see if some sleep improves them but I am in the camp of thinking they were just Mehhh too. Not in any hurry to find more.
Have you tried the original Guapo size Cabiguan in Maduro yet? Now that is a great stick!
