OK. Might as well throw in a couple hot babes for good measure.

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

My summertime drink when outside smoking is Dr. Pepper and Capt. Morgan. Good stuff. I may have to try the Barqs.
Trouble if you throw in the hot babes chances are you could be smoking a complete dog rocket and you won't care because your mind will be too preoccupied.:D

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

i also thought that connecticut broadleaf was grown in connecticut. is this the case, or not?

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

Most of it is. Connecticut Broadleaf is a tobacco strain, just as Sumatra and Habano are, even though for the most part neither of those are grown in Sumatra or Havana. But Connecticut is the opposite - the vast majority is grown in Connecticut, but some is grown elsewhere (mostly Ecuador).

I remember reading somewhere that the majority of Connecticut broadleaf was actually grown in MA. The name comes from the Conn. River valley, and not the state.

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

I know exactly what you mean. I have been loving the nicaraguans recently, but not enjoying so many others. Nic or Dominican puros for me, thanks.

Oh, and I agree on the rocky patel decade. I REALLY wanted to like that cigar, but frankly, I found myself just smoking to finish it, rather than enjoying it. Ditto with the OWR.

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

That is funny. I am not sure why but I really wanted to love the Decade as well. I tried so hard to enjoy it.

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

I also get confused on terminology and country of origin for wrappers. Like the Tatuaje Havana VI uses a "Habano Equador" wrapper ... but I think it's grown in Nicaragua.

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

Don't forget Honduras. A lot of good strong cigars from there.

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

Man... I just love cigars!

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

Yea, I too have been WAY into Nicaraguans this year, to the point where I recently said that I hardly like anything NOT from Nica. But then I smoked the nicer Fuentes (Anejo, Opus, WOAM) and started getting into LFDs, and remembered that I like La Aurora, lol.

And I also really do like the RP Decade and OWR. The Decade needs to AGE, guys--try one with a year on it and it's a whole 'nother cigar! You may still not care for it, of course, to each his own.

But I agree too that many/most of the Nica puros I like need additional aging, most notoriously Padron regular lines and Tats. I think virtually all Tats need some additional rest, if not a full year.

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

I had a tat 2003 cojonu and it was incredible. I could not imagine how good it would be with some age.

I just picked up 10 yesterday but really do not anticipate any of them making it past a month.

Now that I've built up enough of a collection that I can let stuff rest, I'm finding that many of my favorites are just that much better. The flavors just become smoother.

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

I'm with ya brother. Nearly all of my favorite NCs are Nics/Nic puros. I like the strength and spice of them and love what some age does to the ones I buy.

Re: Nicaraguan Puros
 

I haven't been smoking all that long but I too find myself loving the Nicaraguan cigars.
