Am I missing something about CC's - Page 3

They may just not be to your liking OP. I would advise you to give some more a try before deciding they aren't for you. However, as some have said NC's may just be more appealing for you.

Edit - Why don't you shoot me a PM with your addy Jon and maybe I can send you something that would change your mind.

Don't force it. If you don't like them that is OK. Maybe your friend's cigars were fake maybe not. If you want to give CC's another chance you can try to get some CC's from a legimate source or you can continue enjoying your NC's. As many have said Smoke what you like, like what you smoke.

I moved from being an NC smoker to a mostly smoking CC's. However, I still enjoy NC's -- just not as frrequently as I used to. All cigars have their place.

The whole NC v. CC thing has come to be a bit of a misnomer. At one time, lumping all NCs together might have made sense, but with the amazing brands and the recognition of individual countries, this seems more and more artificial over time. This is merely my opinion.

Many people whom I greatly respect here prefer Nicaraguan cigars over CCs. This is a much more point specific distinguishment that I can really relate to. As is my one friend who likes Nicaraguan cigars with Equadoran wrappers. This, I get. The whole NC v. CC debate is one that I can't really relate to anymore. But that is just me.

But at the end of the day, smoke what makes you happy. Anyone who doesn't agree with that simple statement, well, they ain't welcome on my patio.

Ignorance is bliss. I wish I could be happy drinking cheap beer, liquor, and wine... and smoking 4 dollar "domestics" that I could walk into a store down the road and find on the shelves any day of the week....

My only cc experience is from DBall BTT and there were some I really loved, some that were decent and some I wouldn't care to revisit. I can say that the ones I really loved were better than any NC I've ever had. I had a Bolivar Exclusivo Canada on independence day that is to date the best cigar I've ever had. Its also the only cigar > $20 where I felt it was worth the cost. I got it through a friend of a friend, so I suppose it could have been fake, but I don't really have any reason to believe it wasn't based on the flavors. If it was, I was still very pleased with it.
