Guess I was badgering the witness.

Permission to treat the witness as hostile your honor?

O M G......

I have been smoking a pipe for so long I forgot people were still flogging livestock in the cigar section. Horses today, cows tomorrow... hogs could be next. Soon you people will be telling us to smoke what we DON'T like.

You ready to come by for a nice pipe and a mootini yet, Admiral Obvious? You really need a North Carolina trip.

OP I agree with you to some extent. Some of the cc's I've had were fantastic, truly memorable cigars, but many have been mediocre or plugged or had some burn issues, or seemed flavorless compared to my favorite nc's. I'll always smoke both...forever chasing that dragon

I have nothing new to say on this topic.

I just find it funny, 6+ years of this now and the same topic pops up no matter what forum you're on and the answers are still the same.

Life's too short to worry about this stuff. Smoke up and enjoy whatever makes you happy.

To bastardize the wise words of a wise man, "Never confuse the inclination to express opinion with actual facts."

Smoke what you like, like what you smoke.....and don't try to tell someone else that what you smoke is better than what they smoke.

It took me a long time to find this thread again.

Bill, I remember that you wanted to know about the Cubans I smoked (presuming they weren't fake). My brother sent them to me for an eval. He didn't say where he got them. And I don't know what if any age they had. The label was nondescript; it just said "Montecristo."

Oh boy, another one of these threads. Some people enjoy ripe, fruity, and extracted New World style wines while others (me included) enjoy the funky terroir and subtle wisps of nuanced flavor offered by a Burgundy that has been cellared for decades. So goes the cigar world.

Yeah most CC's don't have the name of the cigar on the band. Some that do, PSD4, PSP2, some Partagas EL's come to mind.

Without knowing the age or authenticity, you're better off visiting a La Casa del Habano some day and making your judgment off a few cigars you smoke there.

I have bought expensive CC's from reputable vendors for years. Honestly I have had it with plugged sticks, tunneling sticks, sticks that are "off", sticks that are "sick", etc....just disappointment after disappointment.

I'll be the very first to say "smoke what you like and like what you smoke" but for me, CC's aren't on the menu anymore. There are a few guys out there that would say "....if you don't smoke CC's your tastes aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate them..."...which I believe simply isn't true.

One man's opinion - N.F.H.

I am with you brother. Construction issues turned me off to most CCs. However I will smoke a PSD4 if one is handed to me.
