Hey Wayne, I know I can't define it, I can sorta recognize it in most CC's... My palate isn't as "refined" as many of the members here, and I might even fail a blind taste test between a CC and a NC, but I think I would note something after a few of the CC's I've had the pleasure of smoking.

My recent trip to Canada and 3 nights of herfing at LCDS really gave me an education in CC's and their flavor. I had a whole box of NC's which I could hardly unload on my fellow Canadian BOTL's....

Okay. Now within the past day or two I have had a couple of cigars that reminded me of CCs to some extent.

1. Hoyo De Tradicion: the first taste of the wrapper has the same sweetness as some CCs. The rest of the smoke is only freaking awesome.

2. La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial: A lot of flavor, but for some reason, or another I had to put it down. Very decent smoke.

Touche.

But in the end, if you want a CC taste, smoke a CC. If you want a NC taste, you have thousands to choose from. Regardless, these topics just seem silly.

i have to say, i have smoked about 5 of these and they have tasted more and more like CC's to me each time. The first time i smoked one i thought it tasted very similar. Now they are so similar that the only thing they lack is a similar finish.

i dont know why i think they taste so similar, they just do (to me)

and they are cheap too!

There are plenty of NC's that rival good CC's in flavor and complexity. They just don't have the SAME flavors as CC's.
