CCs that taste like NCs

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

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.
