Default Re: In your opinion which NC is closest to a CC?

Cuaba tastes a lot like a Te-Amo Anniversario and Te-Amo Nic Blend combined. There, I got it.
The easiest way to get the CC flavor is to fetch up some cc's, my brother.
Add Kelly to the list of guys that's right on the money, and I asked this question not so long ago myself.
The answer really is "none".
I have found some nc flavors in cc's, but they're less pronounced and really don't develop because the binder and filler take the forefront.
I enjoy my nc's more than my cc's right now, but I'm headed more and more in the cc direction. The cc's that I like have a lot of nc flavors and nuance. I think the Punch RS11 tastes a LOT like Pepin blnded stuff. I enjoy Cohiba maduros because they have a very nice sweet maduro wrapper that very much compliments the sweet insides, and I like my maduros and oscuros a LOT. Los Statos kinda tastes like a White Owl dipped in saccharin.
Mind ya, those are all a stretch, but I think some brothers might agree. At least they'll agree about the Los Statos.
Those are a good place for you to start, though.
Maybe someone will chime in with a couple "classic cc taste" recommendations so you can taste the extreme opposite end of the cc spectrum.
