ok here is a dumb newbie ?

[robertw1249]

ok what makes a CC so much better than a NC thanks for the help

[md4958]

hey dumb newbie,

Its all personal preference. I know some people who have a hard time finding a CC they like, cough-Shilala.

CCs are have been prized for centuries for the quality of their tobacco. Is it better than Dominican Republic or Nicaraguan??? you have to decide for yourself

[robertw1249]

ok thanks and i read that thread about scott and CC i got a kick out of it:r

[Mugen910]

ok what makes a CC so much better than a NC thanks for the help

personal preference..that's it..:ss

[tireiron]

the blend, and the aging potential.

[shemp]

robert= not dumb.

taste and smoke what is yummy for you!!!! best advice ever. People love mushrooms...i hate them...different tastes for different people...don't smoke for anything but taste,

many cc are yummy, many arent
many nc are yummy many arent
many machine made are yummy many arent...you get the picture...

[robertw1249]

[mrreindeer]

Nothing.

[Pat1075]

Like tireiron said the aging potential is fantastic with cc's
but some are great some are terrible. but construction issues are more common with cc's.

[Raralith]

I think CC's have a unique taste that I haven't tasted in an NC before. Beyond that, it's all preference, but CC's are definately quite good.

[robertw1249]

thanks for all the help guys still trying to get the feel for the NC but i have been wanting to know about the CC

[nozero]

ok what makes a CC so much better than a NC thanks for the help

That's not a dumb question... Who can make a better decision on this than you?

:tu

[ahc4353]

Nothing.

One mans opinion.

I would say, everything. (Another mans opinion.)


Glad we could clear that up for you! :D



Only you can decided what YOU like.

Just enjoy the journey.

[Stogieboy]

in a word, "barnyard" . :ss

[ucla695]

Some people only smoke CCs. Some only smoke NCs. Some smoke both. It’s all depends on what floats your boat. Smoke what you like and like what you smoke.

[robertw1249]

ok there are to many cigars i want to try does this crazy slope ever end :eek:

[ahc4353]

ok there are to many cigars i want to try does this crazy slope ever end :eek:

Nope.

[DKPRLP]

ok there are to many cigars i want to try does this crazy slope ever end :eek:

Ends today

Tomorrow a new slope starts...

[robertw1249]

great some times i feel that im going down the slope at light speed:ss

[RevSmoke]

Robert,

I see you have gotten lots of opinions. Let me add another, it is a real simple dictum - you must smoke what you like and enjoy it.

Now, to do this, you need to try different cigars to find out what you like. That's where the slope gets slippery.

Personally, I have enjoyed a good many CCs. I have also enjoyed a good many NCs.

I must say that in my personal taste preference profile, there is room for both. Although, I must say that NCs by far outnumber my CCs.

[robertw1249]

thanks for all you guys help on this it is really good to see how all you guys help us newbie out

[Snake Hips]

ok there are to many cigars i want to try does this crazy slope ever end :eek:
It ends once you smoke a Cuban :ss

But that's the trap, because it just starts another slope :D

[blckthree]

CC's are a slope I am trying to avoid for now. I hear they are a fuller bodied and stronger (more nicotine) cigar than NC's, but I am sure that depends on the NC also. For now I'll stick to one slope.

Mike :ss

That's subjective, too. On the whole, I haven't found a single Cuban cigar with nearly the nicotine punch of a stronger non-Cuban. They do make mild Cubans, you know *wink wink* :D

[robertw1249]

yeah im still getting the feel for NC but i feel my self getting pulled over to the dark side :ss

[icehog3]

It all comes down to tasticity. It is that simple.



What is "tasticity"? It is a word I just made up.

nice Tom, nice... :tu

email to Websters is on the way, you get all the credit of course!

[Bax]

From a collecting standpoint CC's are it. The marcas have largely remained the same and they are dated unlike most NC's. NC's it seems that every few weeks a new and exciting brand comes out... only to fade away. It also seems that if a good stick does come out the hype is so huge that the price skyrockets and the quality plummets.

CC's aren't fancy for the most part. You get a very nice stick for 3-4 dollars. Many of the 3 dollars CC's are better than a 10 dollar NC. But the 10 dollar NC is still very nice.

i thought CC cost alot more than NC

[md4958]

i thought CC cost alot more than NC

common misconception

i should add... some do cost more, some cost a LOT more... but most are comprable to NC pricing

[robertw1249]

ok thanks MD i have seen some crazy prices on CC and NC

[ahc4353]

Since CC's are not legal here in the states all these comments from US members are only opinions based no no actual fact. :tu

[mojo65]

I think part of the CC thing is the "FORBIDDEN FRUIT" aspect too. THEY say I cant have it so I want it more.

[md4958]

I, of course, am referring the sticks I buy (and smoke) while in Canada. And Europe. and the carribean

Never a doubt Moe, never a doubt!

Of course, Moe. We never doubted your respect for the law. As for me, I don't actually *buy* them. That's technically illegal, even overseas, so I'm lucky to have many friends in foreign places who offer me cigars that I couldn't legally buy.

[ahc4353]

Exactly Eddie. :r

I don't actually buy them either, the credit card company does. So as long as they are destroyed before the payment check clears, I think they are in some kind of cigar limbo... could be a nice dance too:D

[nozero]

Do I smell pants burning?

[robertw1249]

i think its more like credit card burning :ss

[Snake Hips]

Ah, that would be nice. But the letter of the law, which of course I follow to the letter, prohibits the "purchase, acceptance or transportation" of "Cuban origin cigars." It would be a completely foolish and ineffective law if they failed to specifically prohibit recieving them as a gift as well, would it not?

i thought CC cost alot more than NC
There are some that do, but most Cuban cigars are comparable to (as in much cheaper than) non-Cuban cigars in price.

[robertw1249]

i remember i was in a B&M one time when i lived in calf one guy said he pay 100 buck for one CC stick i was like dam

[kdog]

I like the cc's mostly cause I'm "stickin it to the Man". I like them aged best. But give me a Padron Serie 1926 and I'm just as happy. Or, thanks to Bao, I like the Le Joya de Nicaragua 1970 for just plain KICK. In other words, smoke em if ya got em.

[md4958]

i remember i was in a B&M one time when i lived in calf one guy said he pay 100 buck for one CC stick i was like dam

he was most likely full of chit, or a sucker.

although, there are some SWEET cuban Macanudos for sale right now... bargain price of $999.99

the guy will make you a deal if you take both only $1500!!

anybody wanna do a split!!

[Asher]

Some of the ligero-packed NCs are much stronger than any CC I've had. CCs have a unique taste, but their strength varies from mild to full.

[robertw1249]

md i think ill pass on that deal but you got to think what hell is this smoking

[md4958]

Robert, hes just trying to unload these to help pay his fathers dr bills... his dad has cancer.

think of it as a charitable contribution!!:r:r:r

[robertw1249]

sorry about that MD i did know

[md4958]

sorry about that MD i did know

that was a joke Robert!!!:r:r:r

this guy is some scumbag selling CUBAN Macanudos on Craigslist... there is no such thing as a Cuban Macanudo... the guy is a crook

and not only is he defrauding people by saying that, hes trying to charge $1000 for a $7.00 cigar!!

this guy is a real piece of chit and some of the memebers here are having some fun with him

[Snake Hips]

sorry about that MD i did know
That means you're buying them, right? Because I'm the guy who has them. C'mon, Macanudo Habanos...you can't find those any more, it's a great investment if you think about it...come onnnnnnnn...
