Nicaragua Vs. Dominican...

Footbag · 10-17-2008, 07:49 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.

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

Padron...Nicaraguan YUM

La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero...Dominican YUM

NCRadioMan · 10-17-2008, 08:32 PM

I'm a sucker for Nic baccy.

MajorCaptSilly · 10-17-2008, 08:34 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.

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.

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.

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

FriskyDingo · 10-18-2008, 07:45 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, 07:50 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, 08:27 AM

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

Ratters · 10-19-2008, 11:44 PM

I have a strong dislike for Dominican tobacco.

icantbejon · 10-20-2008, 02:13 AM

I wasn't exactly sure, so I decided to do a check. Went to CI and looked over my favorites. Apparently, I'm a Nic guy.

10-18-2008, 09:25 AM

Nic's all the way.

SmokinApe · 10-18-2008, 09:30 AM

nhcigarfan is correct...

fsjonsey · 10-18-2008, 09:35 AM

I prefer Honduran and Nicaraguan cigars. Many dominicans seem to have a bitter finish, especially if you try to nub them, and I've never been fond of that.

brigey57 · 10-19-2008, 09:49 PM

I prefer a Nicaraguan smoke over a Dominican, however, ever so often I look for a old favorite, but less frequent in recent times.

krash · 10-19-2008, 10:02 PM

Mostly Nicaraguan, but some Dominican. Favorites are the Oliva's.
