I know I'll probably get hung for this, but to me, Trini Reyes taste a lot like DPG sticks...

I have read the title of this thread five times and I still do not get it?

You want to buy a CC that tastes like a NC cigar?

I know I smoked one too many cigars today, but

Where is Peter, I would love to see Peter's response to this thread. (I am smiling of course, I just ran out of images to place in this thread lol)

Just giving you a hard time Mark, you coming to SoCal again this year? I can bring you some NC cigars. I will even remove the bands for you and call them custom rolled.

"Hello, just passing by"

Pee my pants funny, at first I was like, "WTF I didn't quote......oh I get it. "

Some will be set aside for you in July.

(or August if you don't make it down FL, we could be seeing a lot of each other this summer).

I can't believe that some people didn't recognize this as a parody of another thread ...

I am sooooo going to be at SoCal and am looking forward to your 'customs'

Consuerga D.R.

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!

wrong thread, dude.

I usually notice the comparison running in the opposite direction, namely that certain NCs seem to be aping the flavor profiles of classic cubans, usually without the balance or smoothness of the CC, but with enough similarity to make a favorable comparison. For instance, the Punch Rare Corojo crystale tubo tasted to me like a slightly watered down Montecristo #2. The Perdomo ESV 91 robusto tasted like a rough PSD4, the Rocky Patel Olde World Corojo tasted like a slighty bitter Juan Lopez No. 2, and more favorably, the Don Pepin Garcia Blue Generosos (which I love) was every bit as smooth and deliciously gingerbread tasting as an HDM petit Robusto, only twice it lasted twice as long at the about same price price tag.

htown · 05-30-2009, 05:55 PM

I would try a Cuaba Divinos. To me they have a spice to them that I haven't found in other habanos.

JJG · 05-30-2009, 08:00 PM

I had a '01 Fonseca recently that tasted incredibly smooth and delicious. I remember thinking to myself, "I don't know if I would be able to pick this out as a CC if it were a blind test"

On the other hand I don't think NCs are smooth generally, so its not like it really tasted NC either.

I'm going to say try a Party short if you want something that has the 'in your face' freshness and wild character of a good strong NC. Want something light and smooth? try a Fonseca, RG, or Juan Lopez with some age on it.

We need a sarcasm smiley around here, I think almost everyone who posted in this thread missed it.
