Nicaragua Vs. Dominican...

Footbag · 10-17-2008, 08:49 PM

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.

elderboy02 · 10-17-2008, 08:51 PM

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

Mugen910 · 10-17-2008, 08:53 PM

Padron...Nicaraguan YUM

La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero...Dominican YUM

NCRadioMan · 10-17-2008, 09:32 PM

I'm a sucker for Nic baccy.

MajorCaptSilly · 10-17-2008, 09:34 PM

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.

duckmanco · 10-17-2008, 10:41 PM

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.

10-17-2008, 10:51 PM

big oliva fan, and garcia so i guess nic.

BengalMan · 10-17-2008, 10:59 PM

Nicaraguan for me.

yourchoice · 10-17-2008, 11:05 PM

Generally speaking I prefer Nic over Dom...but there are some mighty fine Dom cigars out there.

St. Lou Stu · 10-17-2008, 11:06 PM

I must be the Dominican outcast.

Nicaragua has all my electoral votes.

icehog3 · 10-18-2008, 12:37 AM

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.

BlackIrish · 10-18-2008, 06:57 AM

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

I might get burned for this, but even if I had to choose between Nicaraguan cigars and Cubans, I would go for the Nicaraguans. Don't get me wrong, I still smoke (and enjoy) Cubans, Dominicans, Costa Ricans and Honduran cigars too but Nicaragua is my favorite cigar country.

md4958 · 10-18-2008, 07:59 AM

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

FriskyDingo · 10-18-2008, 08:45 AM

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.

D_A · 10-18-2008, 08:50 AM

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.

MTB996 · 10-18-2008, 09:27 AM

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