NC's with that CC "twang" ???

Never totally gotten it. The closest thing would have been a Tatuaje brown-label. I immediately thought "Interestingly Cuban-y."

I've had it more often in reverse. Smoked Cuban cigars that I probably wouldn't have guessed Cuban blind.

It's funny you should mention the Tats....Ive always said the brown labels, el trianfandor and la riqueza are the "closest thing".....but the Davidoff Millenium I had today was "IT"!

Just think of how many Cubans are priced lower than NC Davidoffs...

Not that price is a major factor to some of us....

Its kind of like asking what type of sushi tastes most like venison? It is the goal of many blenders to emulate the Cuban taste, but although some may have hints of the flavor, its a bit difficult without the tobacco.

wow, well said!

I guess the most twang I've noticed in a NC were from the Bobalu vintage '92s. I only bought like 5 at the time and didn't reorder when they were gone but jeez those were good.

A few months ago I was in Austin and decided to pick up another 5. They're good but they don't have as much twang as I remember.

I've had some Padilla '68 robustos that had a nice twang. I've read some others have felt the same. I do love those Davidoff Millennium's.

I would love to see a list once this Thread is more complete.

BTW - I've only had one Davidoff and have to agree it was very twangy!!!

I wasnt asking what NC tastes a CC....I simply stated that I had a NC that I would I would have sworn was a CC. It had the TWANG I tell ya!
