In your opinion which NC is closest to a CC?

Yeah, I think the 'trusted authors' confused the fact that 90% of Americans who think they have smoked a Cuban cigar have only smoked fakes. The thing is, the 10 percent that know better smoke a lot more of the genuine thing than tourists do fakes on vacation.

But I think that the amount of people who buy hundreds of boxes a year really offset those figures.

Any CCs that taste like Nicaraguan cigars? Then maybe I would smoke more CCs LOL.

I haven't tried one so I can't say they taste Nicaraguan, but it seems like the new Cohiba Behike was designed explicitly for the American market; a whole extra leaf of ligero, gigantic ring gauges and a swollen price to match. Suckling said it almost blew his head off, so it may have more of the kick you're looking for.
