Are cuban cigars really the best?

I'd agree with these points, and it seems more and more mouth smokers are confusing strength for flavor or probably more appropriately for goodness. there are so many cigars that I loved as a mouth smoker that I can't deal with as a nose smoker.

I'd also agree that there are some tasty noncubans out there but those cigars are typically, in my opinion, a little less nuanced and complex than their CC counterparts.

Oh man, please don't start that one again!

I switched over to CC's and I don't plan on going back to NC's.

I like both. I would say I like NC's more right now b/c I like a spicier and full bodied cigar. I would say I smoke NC's 60% of the time and CC's 40% of the time.

One thing I absolutely hate about CC's is the poor construction. I hate having a plugged cigar

I don't think I have had a plugged NC.

Then you haven't had a Tatuaje Lancero....

As an added note, I will be switching to CCs almost exclusively when the embargo lifts.

After that happens the argument about many regular production CCs being cheaper than NCs will almost certainly go out the door

Start saving your $$ now and expect the quality to be worse when all the embargo supplies are exhausted.

I've gone thru more than three (3) boxes of the Tat Lancero's and not a single one was plugged....nice draw on every one of them!

....and I'm definately with you Triple F!

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Give me $10,000 to spend on cigars and I wouldn't spend 5 cents of it on cc's.

Can you buy me a box of Party Shorts, Scott?

Smoke what you like, like what you smoke.

I'd take a box of HU CM's

I'm so glad this question has finally been cleared up!

EDIT: Nevermind. This was already posted and I missed it.

I say yes. Not everyone will ever agree, one way or another. To each his own.

Reminds me of THIS.

CCs are like cigars from the land of dreams or another dimension they have the same names as cigars you see everyday in the B&M but they are not the same then they have different names they smell better when you open the box and they taste better so its like you are smoking cigars froma nother dimension.

Or to put it this way: NCs are Phil Collins Genesis. CCs are Peter Gabriel Genesis.
