I don't see that preferential treatment for say, Nicaraguan cigars.

I run a Dutch cigar board, we have the NC section split up in Dominican, Honduran, Nicaraguan and Others, but cigars with tobacco from different countries can cause discussion. We recently had the same question and it is hard to divide NC's by country. What makes a cigar a Nicaraguan cigar? If the majority of the tobacco used is Nicaraguan but the cigar is made in Honduras, is it a Honduran cigar or a Nicaraguan cigar?

How come when Pet Johnson takes a dump, everyone in the webz says he did it wrong? And have you ever been to Nicaragua?

See what I mean

If you've tried them and don't like them you're not missing anything.

Also, what Mark said.

Mattso3000 · 03-28-2012, 09:41 PM

I've generally found that Nicaraguan cigars suit my pallet best. CC's are good for a change of pace but are generally milder than what I enjoy. So, yeah, what Mark said.

emopunker2004 · 03-28-2012, 09:47 PM

What make said. Some people prefer NCs, others CCs.

mithrilG60 · 03-28-2012, 09:57 PM

I've heard that most CC's can't hold a candle to a certain vendor's sun growns in blind taste tests and that Cuba is actually net importer of tobacco so they're mostly NC anyways,

Personally I smoke Cuban's almost exclusively, the only NC's I've found worth a second try are Padron's, Alec Bradley's and the Oliva V and O series. All the rest I've tried just don't appeal to my palate.

We can hang out anytime as I am almost 100% the same. Save the ABs though.

BMW. Or Audi ....Starbucks or coffee bean....titleist or taylormade....big booty or big knockers...whatever floats your boat man.

For me it is Volvo, good black coffee, whatever makes makes be a better golfer, hot women, and yummy cigars.

lilninjabuddy · 03-28-2012, 10:45 PM

I love, love the Cubans I've tried. Bolivar, Partegas, Monte, Cohiba... I've enjoyed some of the best smokes of my life from these marcas. But they could never turn me away from Liga Privada No 9's.

Sometimes you want chocolate cake, sometimes you want vanilla. Sometimes you want a porter, sometimes you want a IPA. No reason one has to be thought of as better than the other, they're just different.

The important thing, as was already stated, is smoke what ya like!

Well said brother!

icehog3 · 03-28-2012, 11:34 PM

Has anyone said "Smoke what you like, like what you smoke" yet?

Smoke what you like, like what you smoke. I prefer Cuban, but there are lots of great NCs out there if that's your taste.

Zeuceone · 03-29-2012, 12:19 AM

Like what you smoke, and smoke what you like. That's all i have to say about this.

jjirons69 · 03-29-2012, 06:22 AM

The CCs I prefer actually are cheaper than most of the NCs I prefer. While I can't get CCs at the corner B&M, convenience is nice for NCs. To solve that, buy CCs in boxes or cabs. In the long run I come out cheaper and I get smokes that fit my palate the majority of the time. I do enjoy maduros from time to time and without breaking the bank, NCs are my only go to.

Subvet642 · 03-29-2012, 06:26 AM

I like them both.
