Default Re: Nostalgia - just a fading memory?

I've been smoking cigars for 20 years and used to smoke mostly AF 8-5-8's. Punch Rothschild's, various LGC's, various Hoyo Excalibers, and various ERDMs. I remember that Dominicans and Hondurans were all the raqe during the boom and then the Nicaraguans came in as the red-headed stepchild of the bunch. Many of the first Nicaraguan made products were pretty bad and tasted like dirt. Now Nicaraguan smokes are the sweethearts of the bunch and are, for me, a better smoke than most of my old standbys. I still pick up a punch or ERDM for nostalgic reasons. I absolutely don't like AF stuff anymore and LGC is the only brand I still keep in my top 10 smokes.
